Well, I have no problem taking a less rose-tinted view of the US military, as well as the political leaders who send them to fight highly dubious wars for highly dubious reasons. Frankly, I don't buy into this idea of soldiers as straightforward freedom-defending paragons of virtue, and it is worth remembering a lot of the young people sent to fight (often disproportionately poor and disadvantaged recruits) are destroyed psychologically, leading them to commit horrific acts (Abu Ghraib prison leaps to mind as a recent example).

The British military are hardly spotless either, by the way. And I am deeply anti-police in both the US and UK, having personally witnessed horrible, racist, power-crazed behaviour in the former when visiting, and having heard about many recent abuses and corrupt practices in the latter. I'm not anti the idea of policing, to be clear, but the whole system (how officers are selected, trained, the culture, etc) is rotten. There needs to be root and branch reform, proper accountability, and a way to screen out the personality types most likely to be attracted to power-crazed, jumped-up-little-Hilter tendencies.

All that said, as far as The Creator is concerned, I would strongly encourage you not to take offence and give the film a go. It isn't necessarily bad to have the US military be the antagonists in the context of the film, which, on balance, isn't really about AI (despite what I say in my review) and more a metaphorical plea for peace, tolerance, understanding, against prejudice and racism, etc. Ideas you'll have no problem getting on board with.
