I can't even find the words to say how seriously this movie made me physically ill. Its a very short, kind of basic documentary about the Westboro Baptist Church and its leader the amazingly ignorant Fred Phelps. I felt dirty after I watched it, and felt the need to shower. How people can spew so much hate, and still have followers, (though according to the film, most of the church members are immediate family...I hope thats true) is totally beyond me. This is the "Church" whose website address is God Hates Fags.com (I didn't link it because they don't deserve the internet traffic. They protest the funerals of military men and women, as well as any homosexual funeral they can find. They hate like nothing I have ever seen. I wish I hadn't watched it, it just made my blood boil more than it already was just thinking about them after watching Kevin Smith's brilliant "Red State". I just....don't want to waste a minute of my time, giving negative thoughts toward those ignorant people. But I had to write something because I watched it and needed it to count. If you can stomach that kind of thing....or want to get all riled up over something. Give this a shot
