I saw a trailer for this film recently. It didn't make much of the anti-semitism content of this fellow's stuff, IIRC. They were probably afraid of turning people off o the idea of going to see the film.
But one of the things that I like about satire (assuming it's done correctly) is that it gives you layers of meaning that you can take time to think over at your liesure. Having a Jewish man playing a Muslim reporter visiting America -- well, that has a lot of potential for good satire. I'll definitely consider giving this a look.
Not surprisingly, the religious section has now become a movie review site for off-beat, humanist, anti-American schlock. I like satire, but I don't appreciate being mentally streaked. From the article links, it looks pretty over-the-top. This stuff can be intellectually provocative, but spiritually depressing. I might consider taking at look at it; but my experience with this left-wing drivel has been grossly disappointing.
If critics actually put him in league with Chaplin's "GD", I will definiitely take a look. He looks like a slenderized Groucho (even the moustache is skinnier).
