The Village/YMMV


 * Crowning Music of Awesome: James Newton Howard's Oscar-nominated violin-filled score is absolutely gorgeous.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Say what you will about the story, but Ivy was a cool character and Bryce Dallas Howard knocked it out of the park performance-wise.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not Political? / True Art Sticks It To The Man: Some reviewers interpreted the movie as a jab against American neocon policies in the wake of 9/11 (isolationism, conservatism, and, most importantly, inventing fake threats to garner support from the populace).
