Yeah that is pretty weird. Something to ask the parents about. I would venture to say its a number of things. I would say anywhere from Nixon's watergate scandal to those conspiracy guys saying the moon landing was a hoax and the Roswell dealy and even when the government dropped some sort of chemical on San Francisco (but probably not that cuz that recently got out). Probably just a number of things like that that made people see that the government doesn't necessarily have our best interests in mind and that they are hiding things from us (I'm not necessarlily complaining, I'm sure they're doing some wacky stuff that I don't want to know about).
Speaking of stuff being hidden from the general public, a friend of mine worked at this one place that had all of these different divisions. He had to deliver a message from one part of the place to another. So, he was going to deliver it and got a bit lost after taking a wrong turn. As he was going down this hallway there was this security door infront of him that a doctor was going through. The doctor just held the door for him, so my friend went on through. Past the security door on the side of the hall there was this glass window leading to another room and in that room he saw this transparent monkey. He said the closest thing he could think of to describe it (the transparency)was that it was kind of like the thing from predator. Right after he saw the monkey some doctor comes up to him and is like, "Hey what do you think you're doing?" My friend told him he got lost and this guy held the door for him. The doctor asked him if he saw anything. My friend told him no, then the doctor just told him to get out of there because he was trespassing and lucky the doctor didn't have him arrested. The doctor then gave him directions to where he needed to go. When he got back he told his boss about what he saw. His boss just said, "Yeah, they do some pretty crazy s**t down there."
That got a little off topic maybe, but thats my theory as to why movies started painting the government in a bad light.
