Nothing "left wing" about this movie.
When will idiots like you realize that movies are made to make money, not to promote some political ideals.
Plus, do you like corporate control of the government? How is that a good thing? Right or left wing, why would corporate control over the government be good?
Plus, your post is really timely, only 8 years after the film was released -

While you are right that movies are made to make money and to entertain the audience, however there are some directors or writer's for that matter who do put their own political agenda's or beliefs into films. Some films are very subtle while other's are in your face about it. Not to mention that Hollywood is mainly liberal and that includes writer's, director's, actors and producer's.
As for this movie being liberal or left wing, you can bet your life on it. -

this is a remake of a movie that says communists use mind control and that is how they are in power. left or right wing?
what is liberal in this movie? corporations profiting from war not being a good thing like what haliburton did getting themselves awarded no bid contracts that cost the tax payer more, grew the government, and provided less for the money? all due to crony capitalism, a term created by the political right. and big business having too much say in the political system is a pet peeve of who, the tea party? oh yeh, that bunch of hippy liberals. there are plenty on the political right who are against big corporations having too much say in how things work and the system being run for them just as they dont want big government. so, please, enlighten us how this movie is life bettingly left wing?
thats like when people claim gun control is a left attack on the right but ignore the fact that romney was pro gun control all his career, reagan wrote an open letter to congress asking for more gun controls etc, so then it becomes simply a matter of people on the right being defensive on an issue and just writing it off as a leftist issue so no matter what they have to say about it dont listen and dont give them any ground.
unless you can make a case how this movie is so obviously pro left, grow up. they even show what is clearly meant to be a democrat candidate being completly corrupt and bank rolled by big business and saying one thing to the public and meaning something else in private. the movie was apolitical or else theyd have gone after republican policies as it was set in the war on terror and made during a republican administration. the movie showed its political corruption thats bad, whatever side of the aisle it comes from, the people still get duped and end up with a guy who doesnt listen to them, but listens more to special interests. -

Lmao, their reply was well thought out and provided facts. Yours was typical right wing nut job drivel with insults and nothing constructive. It's evidence that education and mental health should be a national priority, phantom_phool.

MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars have been spent by our government through the years to have films made to propagate war, political ideas and values.."propoganda".. and or todays favorite term the narrative one narrative would be,, the government insiders and or departments NEVER use money or film or hollywood or television outlets to "paint what they want you(us) to think" so that you/me will behave like a good little patriots/democrats/republicans/war supporters/entitlement supporters/political agenda robots They love that narrative.. they claim that anyone or most anyone that does believe such outlandish stuff are conspiracy wacko nut jobs.. how convenient.. Just call all those with brains who think jerks and wackos..
This sort of control to lead the masses happens happens all the time.. The media outlets are the main form of mental control that the powers that be have at their disposal to "frame" the general mindset. Next in line might be the secular school system and the values that the "government" wants to make sure all of us good little sheepies think..
Even corporations influence and have movies made.. Even political departments/heads and corporations in confluence together support budgets for movies with plots they want narrated..
Because of media control through news and movies and documentaries and etc. etc. is why the general public falls basiclly in two categories.. Democrat or Republican.. It is really not two separate parties. It is actually one big party under the control of what seems to be two completely separate entities(groups) at the top of each.. But in actuality the real truth is that all the puppets that don't know this truth work for the "one" group at the top to manipulate the masses by the manipulation of this "one" party.
One of the greatest things that could ever happen is that finally a free thinking and non-sheeple party would evolve with the knowledge that we have been played like fine little violins for far too long.. Do away with the "party" and start over again and get rid of all of the corrupt political/wallstreet/Fed Bank cohort party at the top and in control and take this nation out of their control. Return it to the people.. The way it was supposed to be.. -

Why is that important?
Not everyone sees a movie when it is first released.
Is there some time limit on validity of posting about a movie based on when it's released?
And movies are made ostensibly to 'make money', but it's nave to believe that some movies are not made to promote a certain political ideology.

Maybe the existence of multiple movies about corporations striving for world domination means something real is being noticed and written about. Maybe some filmmakers have paid attention to Eisenower's 1961 warning about the dangers of the congressional-military-industrial complex.
There's that old President Ike, just another left wing freak. -

I find it funny how everyone is goddamn brainwashed these days! As if corporate malice is a 'right-wing' issue! As if right-wingers don't loath the idea of corporate corruption! What is wrong with people these days?
Oh a movie about 'corporate evils' IT MUST BE LEFTIST PROPAGANDA! -

"the millionth movie about the horrible corporations trying to take over the world?"
WTF are you talking about? Corporations have already taken over the world. Guess you didn't get the memo, or maybe you're just blind. Take Monsanto for instance, a corporation that is still trying to wrestle control over the entire food supply of the U.S.
The Fed Reserve bank is itself a private corporation, despite the word federal in it's name. -

Your examplethat Monsanto is "trying" to control the sale of foodstuffsillustrates the OP's point rather than refutes it.
