Jeremy Larner, who won an Oscar for his screenplay, had been Eugene McCarthy's chief speechwriter in the 1968 campaign. His insider's take was a cautionary tale of such subtlety that it sailed over the heads of some viewers--like Dan Quayle, who said the movie inspired him to be a politician...
...Indonesia and Western Union after the satellites had been lost; in addition, they had spent $5.5 million to help pay for the retrieval operation. Now the two foundlings belong to the insurers, who will refurbish them and sell them to any interested bidder.

He is, in fact, like a lot of liberal candidates, that is, intuitive, confused, with potentiality to be led by his emotions. Now you say, "Whether Ritchie and Larner feel this process necessary, and McKay's actions morally justified, is unclear." Well, I think that that's the most ridiculous statement in the review, no, the second most ridiculous statement. I think it's crystal-clear whether one thinks this process necessary or his actions morally justified...
