How in heck did a film that takes a staunchly pro-life position get made as a summer action thriller, at Dreamworks? This is the puzzling, pleasant question Govindini and I found ourselves asking after a recent screening of Michael Bay’s colorful and engaging The Island - quite possibly the most aggressively ‘conservative’ film this year. Who is the ‘Deep Throat’ at Dreamworks who allowed a movie to be greenlit that attacks cloning and creepy new obsessions with harvesting human tissue? Who is the ‘mole’ who allowed this movie to take veiled pot shots at Terri Schiavo’s grim executioners, or at earnest scientists who justify macabre experimentation because “it might cure children’s leukemia"? How did this happen? How can I jump on this bandwagon? Is someone hosting secret conservative meetings in the Dreamworks basement?...
