Anti-Climacus

LINK: Michael Totten has a round-up of interesting political interpretations of The Incredibles, most of which see the movie as some sort of Ayn Rand-ian libertarian advertisement (government = bad, individual action = good). Well, if that was the indoctrination I was supposed to receive, it sure didn't work on me--aside from a little bit of relive-the-glory-days action, what mostly seemed to be driving Mr. Incredible and co. was their sense of obligation to people who were not themselves superheroes--it's hard for me to see the libertarianism in that, though perhaps my understanding thereof is a little limited.
