The weather theme of “Twisters” could have easily lent itself to a climate change angle, but there’s no hint of an agenda. That’s on purpose, according to Director Lee Isaac Chung.

“I just wanted to make sure that with the movie, we don’t ever feel like (it) is putting forward any message,” Chung explained in an interview with CNN. “I just don’t feel like films are meant to be message-oriented.”

There’s something I never thought I’d hear from Hollywood.

For all its apparent lack of message, my roommates and I agreed the tornado-chasing left us feeling strangely patriotic.

Perhaps that’s because the movie centers on the characters’ dedication to serving their community.
