Well what's the relevance of the topic of the movie for debating communism in Romania? I admit there are some facts well emphasized like the drama produced by the state inflicted with strictly personal choice, but this aspect alone cannot make it the best movie about...What might be the criteria for stating that a movie could be the best...? I'm an economist and I did not put down my professional lenses when watching it, I'm a Romanian...but I sincerely cannot find some common ground when it comes to qualifying this movie as such...

You find a story about OBTAINING an abortion moving? That's how you know I can never, ever, be a libertarian. Posted June 22, 2008 7:43 PM

If you think the movie is glorifying abortion you clearly missed the point. Posted June 22, 2008 10:52 PM
Sorge L. Diaz writes:
Mr. Porter: No, I don't think the movie glorifies abortion. But I do notice that the only thing about Communist Romania that receives criticism in some quarters is its no-abortion policy. I may still miss the point--I haven't seen the movie, after all. Posted June 23, 2008 9:19 PM
Assistant Village Idiot writes:
I'm with Sorge. No, the movie's purpose is not to advocate for abortion but to demonstrate isolation and oppression. But the choice of abortion as an illustration makes it a subtheme. Yes, there are many flavors of libertarian, all of them insisting that they are the Real Deal. Posted June 24, 2008 7:24 PM
