4. Mitch says, "A man only has one lifetime. But history can remember you forever." How important is history? How important is reputation, after you die? Do the opinions of people count for anything? If so, how much?
5. When Benjamin talks about the things that the President is supposed to stand for, the President replies, "Gates, people don't believe that stuff any more," and Gates replies, "They want to believe it." What people do you look up to? Do you look up to anybody simply because he or she is in a position of power? How much faith should we put in such institutions? Why or why not?

The Family Corner

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is rated PG for some violence and action, including car chases and narrow escapes from perilous situations, much of it defused by humor (though at least one death takes place off-screen). A woman kicks her boyfriend out of the house and helps him later on by distracting another man, who she has been dating, with a series of "accidentally" seductive poses that eventually lead to a kiss. There is also the occasional "Oh my god" or similar expression.
