"The Girl in the Cafe" redux

I wrote a review of a film we recently watched, "The Girl in the Cafe". I posted that here as well as at Netflix. Returning to the Netflix site, I saw that only 3 of 10 people indicated my review was helpful, owing probably to a pronounced distinction in worldviews among the renters. I also noticed one particularly good review, very well thought out and written. He captures my sentiments precisely:

This was a wonderful 4-star acting job, but zero stars for the phony battle between youthful idealism and middle-aged pragmatism in search of the same goals. Since the British bureaucrat never figured out how to explain his work to his beloved bomb-throwing babe, let me try this bit of Lost Dialogue, Pillow Talk on Night #2: "I understand your outrage, dear, and I share it, but the Americans have a point. China lifted over 300 million people out of absolute poverty in the 1980s without a dime of foreign aid. Deng XiaoPing merely allowed farmers to own and control their crops, and he allowed families and villages to start businesses without state control. The French and Germans also have a point -- about how Latin America is solving its problems through free trade, a growing middle class and an open press. Besides, these euro-zone zombies have no money to give. The continent is a broke welfare state. As for Africa, it truly is a special case, since it is the only remaining continent where thugs and kleptocrats still control the majority of nations. They steal our foreign aid and whisk it away to their Swiss bank accounts. The only Westerners helping Africa now are those in the Gates Foundation. The Greenies have killed millions of Africans by banning DDT and other life-saving chemicals. So... your heart is right, and I love you for that alone, but please bring your head into the game, dear. We're not venal idiots here. We just don't want to waste your tax dollars any more than we already have."
