THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
I’m sure you’ve heard it countless times by now, but let me again say Thank You. Thank you for being so generous to all the loyal fans of "The X-Files" and thank you for allowing us to see Mulder and Scully in their lives today in a way that I believe we all wanted. If this was indeed the last outing for our beloved characters (and I can guarantee you that I certainly do not subscribe to that belief), then it has brought the closure so many of us have sought.
Like so many others, I too was filled with anger and disappointment at the reviews that are out there. But then I thought…it seemed somewhat fitting. The feelings that were invoked by those reviews seemed familiar...
And then I realised – it was the same feeling I got when I watched Mulder and Scully in their plight through all the years of "The X-Files." Like Mulder and Scully in their quest, this film is confronting the same adversity and injustice.
It seems that there are many critics out there who are driven by their own agendas which are not relevant to the actual film. I wont name names so as not to provide free publicity, but one critic in particular chose to discuss 9/11 and his own political take on it’s relevance to Film & Television, as opposed to the actual movie. Trickery and sleight of hand as opposed to actually reviewing a film.
What appears to be evident is that these critics are not writing in the best interests of their readers; they have their own financial and political agendas they must conform to (website hits and newspapers sales through sensationalism and controversy), in addition to fearing judgment and ridicule by their peers.
These critics are like the syndicate / government, doing anything and everything to keep Mulder and Scully from revealing the truth. In this instance, the truth being that this movie is brilliant in its own right, for reasons already mentioned by the many loyal fans, and it more than justifies keeping "The X-Files" alive.
The truth IS out there, and thankfully, just like “Deep Throat” and “Mr. X”, there are those among the syndicate that support our cause, such as Roger Ebert (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080723/REVIEWS/1651704) and Stephanie Zacharek (http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2008/07/25/x_files/).
And just like Mulder, despite all the adversity and advice to the contrary, we should not give up hope. We should never EVER give up and we must continue to support "The X-Files" and keep fighting for what we believe in.
And that is the purpose of this movie. To reiterate what the TV series taught us:
Keep the faith. Fight for what you believe. Be true to yourself. And Never EVER give up.
In anything you do, always be true to yourself and don’t give up.
We as fans, as believers in "The X-Files," as supporters of Frank Spotnitz, Chris Carter, et al’s work, should get the word out to NOT listen to the critics, to TRUST NO ONE and let the movie speak for itself.
No one can be spoon-fed the truth. You can only ever truly know the truth by seeking it out yourself.
So let me say again, Thank You Frank Spotnitz, Chris Carter, David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and Mitch Pileggi for bringing these characters back to life and making so many of your fans so very happy.
