Ted Cruz: 我认为纽约时报发布的21世纪最佳电影榜单带有政治偏见，忽视了许多优秀的、能激励人心的电影。这份榜单是由一群脱离现实的好莱坞人士评选出来的，他们更注重意识形态而非电影本身的质量。我希望通过列出我自己的榜单，推荐一些真正优秀的、观众喜欢的电影，包括《角斗士》、《爱国者》、《美丽心灵》等。这些电影或讲述真实故事，或展现爱国情怀，或充满正能量，但都被纽约时报的榜单所忽视。我认为好莱坞应该更加关注观众的喜好，而不是一味地宣扬自己的政治立场。 Ben Ferguson: 我同意Ted Cruz参议员的观点，纽约时报的电影榜单确实存在偏见。很多上榜的电影我都闻所未闻，更不用说看过了。这份榜单似乎更注重政治正确，而非电影本身的艺术价值和娱乐性。我很高兴能和Ted Cruz参议员一起讨论这个话题，并了解他对电影的独特见解。
