Review of LIONS FOR LAMBS

LIONS FOR LAMBS - STORY: A Political Science professor rekindles a bright student's desire to bring about social change in a world where war makes politician and journalist careers.
LIONS FOR LAMBS - MESSAGE: Something can be done about it, so don't get complacent. Wake up and act before you're trapped in a world wondering how "they" let it get so bad. If each person doesn't fight for freedom, then you'll gradually lose your freedoms. Seek the truth, not what you're being fed, because those feeding you information have vested interests. If you don't change the system, it will corrupt you.
LIONS FOR LAMBS - WIN: Excellent, accurate portrayal of various emotional levels by the actors. (Example: the slick, pretty smiling politician yet has nervous hand twitches signaling his underlying deception.) The professor didn't teach so much as encouraged the student to look. He looked beyond the social veneer. It accurately showed journalism as propaganda, or as a tool used to create an effect. It validated true honor, courage, integrity and friendship. It showed communication as a tool for truly helping someone.
LIONS FOR LAMBS - LOSE: A tiny amount of psychology (aka introversion) used by the professor, but not enough to make him unlikeable or ineffective. Pushed coffee (drug caffeine).
LIONS FOR LAMBS - EFFECT ON ME: I was glad that I have the tools for social change. It made me want to use them more. It made me want to be more "courageous heroine for social change" and less "sheep heading for the slaughter." It made me realize who was responsible for changing conditions in my area, my country, my world -- ME!
