The only reason they think it's a 9/11 movie is because their minds are fucked.

Doncha' know?

Bryan Burk, a producer of Cloverfield, whose plot is guarded but seems to involve a monster attack in New York, said his film started out as just that: a monster movie. Yet as production continued, it became more and more clear that Cloverfield was "a 9/11 movie that's not actually a 9/11 movie."

so there you go

FOLKS:

Of course it has a deeper meaning to it, and YES it IS 9/11.

One of the MAIN reasons why they did put a deeper meaning behind is because:

THE VERY FIRST GODZILLA MOVIE.

Godzilla represented America's H-bomb experiment and Hiroshima.

I'm not just making it up- Wikipedia it.

Personally i see nothing wrong with it. boo-hoo about the liberals, well guess what- The Liberals own your media.

Politicians suck anyways.
I'm not voting for any of the candidates because they're all just gonna be tools anyways. Whatever happened to the leaders that said lines like

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"

"Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."

"I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty."

Now, all we have are bumbling idiots who do what's best for them.

I don't know. Yes magazines have a lot of lead time but Empire did a great job with LOTR. They got a lot of stuff no one else had.

god damn liberals making movies and stuff. They're probably gay and jewish too. what they should do is a make 9/11/war movie that shows those dark people as evil and us americans as heroes who plant flowers and play with kids.
[/sarcasm]

Why does this have to political? Cant we just turn our brains off and watch a monster beat the shit out of NYC? There is way too much liberal bashing going on here so i had to defend those of us on the left.

You know, it's not like they've gotten to see the movie or anything0 they just got to do some interviews. Any movie that has to do with the destruction of New York is going to be paralleled to 9/11. That's a big 'duh.' With the obvious portrayal of martial law and overbearing and under informed medical staff glimpsed in the trailers, its obviously a commentary on some level- of Americans, of Politics/Military, or of human nature.

It's Mr. President not evacuating the major cities before the Aliens attack in Independence day. It's the PETA bust and Military rape in 28 Days Later.

Everything has meaning- whether or not its initially intended. How many authors argue that they never meant their books to be an allegory (Tolkien, James Joyce, ect.)? If you wanna get all pseudohip political pretension in my monster movie, be my guest. Unless the characters have a 'Gee, what have we learned today, kids' moment, I'm going to take it at face value.

Take heart in the fact that the producer says it's a 9/11 movie that's not a 9/11 movie. How vague can you get?
