"I hope I am always able to risk everything for the right and just cause. If we did not make this decision, we could never again call ourselves innocent, and that, in the end, is what we have protected here - innocence. That, I am not ready to give up."
The Village has been next on my list for ages because almost everyone I know thinks it is mediocre at best (ha, ha). I disagree. After having read the screenplay, I still disagree. I'll analyze the crap out of it, but this is also going to be a defense of the story, so get your fightin' gloves on.
