看到《紐約時報》一篇讀者投書把《一戰再戰》形容為：爆米花抗爭（popcorn resistance)，終於一抒我對這部電影的高度質疑。
撰文者是當年左翼激進組織Weather Underground Organization（簡稱氣象人）成員的小孩。
「氣象人」由「學生爭取民主社會」(SDS) 派系發展而來，名稱源自巴布迪倫的歌詞「無需氣象人，你也知道風往哪裏吹」。
撰文者說她的父母或許天真激進，他們那一代的反抗者或許抽大麻、自由性愛，或許抗爭行動純為「無政府」，卻不是對美國政治現實表述無力的「蠢蛋」。
這正是我看這部電影的感受。一開場長達幾分鐘的S&M ，導演究竟要把左翼學生形容為什麼樣的東西呢？
沒有任何一場運動，它的主力領導者毫無目標可言，毫無論述能力，運動的實質內涵闕如，整部電影淪為對resistance的一種剝削，還是採用最廉價、近乎搞笑的刻畫模式。
但是我是最精準的奧斯卡的反向指標：
最佳電影無疑會是它。
