He wanted to make his epic dream come to life on the screen, in all its majesty and power -- and humor, and love, and heroism, and sacrifice ...
He labored over the special effects to make it all seem real, and he succeeded. The dream of his childhood was there on the screen.
Too bad his inner child never learned how to write.

Of course a good tale should carry some truths with it:
That people rarely embrace evil for its own sake, but rather because they think they can accomplish something good.
That once you cross certain moral lines, it becomes almost trivial to cross others.
Of course, I cannot for the life of me figure out what possible good could be accomplished with an ideology that so obviously reduces productive human beings to the status of sub-sentient cattle at the very outset.
Perhaps we should consider ourselves fortunate that most modern liberals in America are happy with only empty posturing instead of actual results.
