It's been said that the Star Trek film is the first film reflecting America's optimism in the era of Obama. The director, JJ Abrams, denies this. It was written before Obama was even elected. That may very well be, but what he is discounting is that it's not the film that reflects this optimism per se, but the reaction of the public. If this film hadn't done so well it's first weekend and seemed so loved by the audience then yes, Abrams may have a point. But you can't question the fact that the people have reacted to this film and it seems to have struck a nerve. Yeah maybe the country IS in a good mood despite the economic worries. Yes we can.
