America needs more heroes like 'Reagan.' Forget the critics
Fox News
Decades ago, America was holding out for a hero and got one -- Ronald Reagan. The movie about the president's life was beloved by fans but hated by critics. Here's how that happened.
Lights dim. Movie rolls. Two hours later, the fear gives way to joyful tears as our hero rides away into the sunset as a hero should and the audience rises to their feet, applauding through their own tears. The heroic story has been around as long as human beings have been telling stories. Its central theme is the flesh and blood man or woman rising above the flaws, weaknesses, mistakes and failures common to us all, to fight a battle bigger than himself, even at the cost of laying down his life for his friends, family or country. Howard Klausner is the screenwriter for "REAGAN," in theaters now.
What if they hate it?
