A really important movie and a must see for anyone who considers himself or herself an artist. Interesting to note this movie(1999), which is set in a time when there is a right wing fascist fundamentalist Christian takeover of the US predates G W Bush's presidency, therefore Ashcroft had not yet covered up the breasts of statues when this movie was released.
The message about freedom of expression, the way it is feared by those who would seek to control thought is the central brilliance of this film. It continues to serve as an inspiration to me in my artistic work.
The music and the musical performances are absolutely genius and would be appreciated on their own merit by anyone who is an educated listener.
So, if you like your political messages delivered with humor and great music, check out this film.
