For those who don't know, the "Dirty Harry" movie was about a cop (Clint Eastwood) who caught some good people with good intentions, killing legitimate criminals, because of what they--the "bad guys" did or were doing. They were drug dealers or heads of prostitution rings or whatever. The movie I'm suggesting here would be one of citizens, just like the original movie, who take it upon themselves to kill (yes, forgive me) the heads of corporations and political parties that are doing horrible things to the country, the US. These people would organize themselves throught social media--
VERY 21st Century--not know each other (ala' "The Thomas Crown Affair") and would very stealthily assassinate, via the most technologically-forward ways possible, the heads of corporations, say, who are exploiting our tax laws or polluting the country, things like that. It wouldn't all be Left-Wingers doing this, by any means, either. It would, in the end, have to be shown that what they were doing was wrong, horribly wrong, but a) they'd have taken out a few of the worst, most egregious people and b) it would stand as a statement for the people, both in the movie and the viewers of the movie, out here in reality, that the people want and need their country back and want what's right done, not just what's good for corporations and profits. Oh, and, I hate to say it, but for "teaching" purposes, these vigilantes would also take out some of the most self-serving greedheads in Congress, too. I'm telling you, I'm inspired. I don't like "killer" movies but this one I'd see. We'd also have people from both all the political wings of all parties, like Chris Matthews and Glenn Beck and Michael Moore, etc., etc., denouncing what these people are doing. Naturally there would have to be the head of an oil company lost in there somewhere. We might call it "DB" or some such (to rhyme with BP, maybe?). Stay tuned, folks. I'll let you know if I start writing. (Update: On second thought, shortly after posting this, I realize no such movie could or should be made as there would be someone or some group of people out there who would take it as instruction).
