But that's as far as I disagree with you- i think unless was taking offense where no offense was given and then it erupted, though I did only read page 2 of this thread. I hope this thread ends with you two kissing and making up Hollywood has no obligation to do that, especially with this film because it wasn't the point of the film to show the 'inner worth of the Other' or whatever. It was about a mission and the soldiers' perspective of said mission and what happened when it went wrong. The movie does its job in that way and to ask it to show sympathy or empathy of any kind to the opposition belittles the mission and the historical perspective of the soliders, which the film portrayed. The film isn't about what you think it should be, and to do so would be to compromise its perspective. [/quote] ------------------ PhantomFM |

![]() its nice to see so many people being passionate about this issue. In the climate of "Im too cool to care about anything" where I live its refreshing to see this type of discussion on, among other things, Nationalism.
I could go on and on and on about this topic...I'd just like to mention the New York Times writer is an intellectual lightweight, if he's that heavy. A great example of the type of thinkers journalism schools are producing these days. |

![]() Unless, please fuck off.
You turned a thread about a MOVIE into some stupid platform for your ridiculous, unfounded, overly liberal bullshit, and your command of the english language is even worse than Samsa's. |

It does compromise the perspective of the film if you try and characterize an enemy that, through the eyes of the soliders (the perspective of the film), were there to do only one thing--kill them. It is unfortunate that the Somalians were not characterized or 'humanized' a bit more, but it wasn't one of the goals of the film. Art should not be compromised in hopes of catering to the 'feelings' of the LCD. It's amazing. Back in the day it took years for Conrad's work to recieve this kind of reflective 'criticism'. Today we live in a politically correct climate where it is trounced upon even before the film is actually seen. Quote:

![]() Yes, Unless, you do amuse me... it amuses me that someone can be so extremely liberal and blind that they can take a story and movie about a real life situation and turn it into a racism issue. The Rangers that participated in the firefight were interviewed several times, and each time they said that the movie was basically historically acurate, with the exception of a few of the character's personalities. So they didn't show the "Somali War Lord Point Of View." If you ask me, this made the warlord characters look better, because if they showed the way those people really were (i.e. dragging the bodies of US SOLDIERS through the streets of Mogadishu), people would have been screaming racism for making them look so bad.
I hate extreme liberals almost as much as I hate those extreme right wing Christian fux0rs. They're both full of bullshit, just on different ends of the spectrum. |

![]() Please get it over with and admit that you both want to fuck each other.
This thread sucks so bad. You guys need your own forum to profess your love to one another. Kiss and give each other hand jobs and let the thread die. |
