Exactly. I enjoyed Avatar for example, but when I think about it, I acknowledge all the problems with it. But I still thought the movie was pretty and entertaining.
A lot of people don't sit back and think (and that's ok, I guess) but then some romanticize it and talk about how awesome X is and that's when I, personally, object. I'd hope they would too, but you'd be surprised what our history classes leave out, or you wouldn't. My Virginia friends learned a different version of the civil war than I did, for example.
