I agree. Plus, one some of these titles it's pretty vague. Character goes from showing a sterotypical conversative/liberal trait to the exact opposite in the film. Well, to me, that doesn't mean the guy necessarily changed his political views too. Plus, people are basing a character's politics on sometimes pretty lame and broad stereotypes.

Definitely not worse than the people who are here attempting to label the intolerant jury members from 12 Angry Men or any other douchebag who turns into a moderately likeable character all as typical Conservatives.
As a conservative, I have long ago learned that I must separate politics from entertainment, or I can't like the Lethal Weapon series.
I think it's pretty sad that there are so many films where it is far too obvious the director, writer or whomever decides they must push their personal agenda or propaganda into the film. Just entertain me, monkey, that's all I ask.

In "Regarding Henry" Harrison Ford goes from thinking, reasoning man to mentally incapacitated and childlike.
Apply whatever your political view point is to that one.

Again, I think every character's motivation could be twisted to their political point of view.

yeah, and it's a bit more complicated than milk and cookies and telling them how they were bad. but you already knew that, right?
