Can Romney overcome his wealth and connect with middle-class Americans?
By John Dickerson
Posted Wednesday, Jan 18, 2012, at 06:22 PM ET

Mitt Romney has said that he would like to talk about income inequality—but only in "quiet rooms." Romney is learning, however, that there is no way to keep the inequality conversation between four walls. It's going to occur in quiet rooms, in loud rooms, on debate stages, and, most importantly, in the quiet room known as the voting booth.  

Campaigning in South Carolina Tuesday, Romney learned just how difficult this issue will be when he tried to take advantage of the new fascination with income inequality to attack rival Newt Gingrich. Gingrich's capital gains tax of 0 percent would be a huge windfall to the wealthy, he argued, whereas his plan would offer a capital gains break only for the middle class. But then Time's Mark Halperin asked Romney about his own personal tax rate. Romney said it was about 15 percent, because he doesn't make much wage income. Suddenly the income inequality issue that Romney had been trying to exploit was being turned against him. The White House spokesman and Democratic National Committee said that Romney was an example of just the kind of taxpayer the president thought should be paying more in times of tight budgets.

The primary question of the 2012 campaign appears to be: What is fair? Is the government, through design or stupidity, tilted against some and rewarding others? Is the private enterprise system broken because of corporate greed and stupidity, or is it instead hindered by government? And no ...

Korean directors are making dark, cynical films about the war with the North—and audiences can't get enough of them.
By Grady Hendrix
Posted Wednesday, Jan 18, 2012, at 10:47 PM ET

Korea has had a bad 100 years. First Japan occupied the country, then Allied forces occupied it, then a war ripped it in half, then North Korea became a dictatorship, then South Korea experienced a coup followed by a decade of military rule, followed by another decade of martial law, followed by the assassination of the president, another coup, another military regime, and, finally, in 1987, a return to constitutional government. So when Korea produces a movie about its history like the Korean War movie The Front Line, which opens in the U.S. this week, it tends not to be an inspirational story with choruses on the soundtrack and shafts of golden sunlight illuminating award-winning actors intoning words meant to stir men's souls (see: Amistad, Patton, Glory). Instead, The Front Line is a film so bleak, cynical, and anti-authoritarian that it makes Oliver Stone look like Ron Howard. And get this: Koreans flocked to cinemas and made The Front Line one of last summer's biggest hits.

Under South Korea's military dictatorship, war movies were expected to be patriotic pep rallies—dissent was not tolerated. Director Lee Man-Hee was arrested in 1965 for making a movie that portrayed communists sympathetically. That same year, director Yu Hyeon-Mok spoke out on Man-Hee's behalf and found himself sentenced to over a year in prison for including six seconds of nudity in his own experimental film. Restrictions on content started loosening in the '80s, but it wasn't until 1995 ...
