• independence day is a good film because it proposes that with global solidarity we can overthrow the locusts who are stripping our planet for resources, no matter how invincible they seem
• independence day is a bad film because it gave Bush an idea on how to turn an unpopular presidency into a popular one
@Lady i think the idea of how to save a failing presidency made its way into the film because it was already a fairly obvious maneuver so we can’t really blame bush’s actions on it
