This is exactly what put so many Jews into the Communist movement. The period I'm referring to is between 1933-39.. when Stalinist Russia was the only major anti-fascist governemt, based on Hitler's avowedly anti-Bolshevik, anti-semitic philosophy. Of course, all this blew up in their faces, when Stalin signed his notorious "Peace pact" with Hitler in 39. Overnight war-mongers became peaceniks.. AMAZING Excellent point about Jews and Nazis..

I feel most of Eastwood's films had subtle messages while still maintaining their entertainment value. The purpose of watching a film is to enjoy it and when it has other effects on you, then it reaches beyond that and you remember it.

Leave the "underlying message" to film critics and boorish high society types. I like Tarentino's films because they are, by and large, "tasty" films to watch. And, perhaps more importantly, Tarentino makes films that are just downright FUN. He genuinely enjoys filmmaking. We're just lucky he happens to love making the kind of films we love to watch.

Your reference to some that remain classics.points that out. Although some seem to be outrageous, the message prevails and becomes too realistic in relation to current events.
