Summary

This quote expresses the disdain for movies that promote a specific agenda or attempt to dictate people's thoughts. The speaker takes pride in films like 'Thank You For Smoking' and 'Juno' because they were interpreted differently by individuals with diverse political and social beliefs. The fact that these movies were able to resonate with both Democrats and Republicans, as well as people with differing stances on abortion, highlights their ability to provoke independent thought and discussion rather than blindly advocate for one perspective.
