[d0nny donowitz]

To me, the departed felt like his best acting job

it was b/c he's playing a racist irish dude from boston ... he did kinda kill it tho, i read an article a long time ago about them making a sequel with wahlberg's character, i'm glad they didn't but it'd be interesting to see what the plot would be


im really not a fan of these go usa rah rah type movies a la american sniper, lone survivor, zero dark thirty, this etc. etc. even if they have actors i like ... i was hype to see 13 hours because it had jim and roy from the office in serious roles but was disappointed to see it had that same sort of tone

that being said i love rambo 3 and rocky IV even tho they're basically anti-USSR propaganda films; maybe nostalgia + them being so over the top (npi) and heavy-handed with the message make them more palatable

^ I can't stand those movies, and intentionally stay away from them, because nationalist propaganda is exactly what they are. There are obviously exceptions to this, but in my observation, the people who love those movies are Obama-hating, gun-toting, Muslim-fearing, stars-and-bars waving, right wing, conservative, Republican Christians with "Hoo-rah!" mating calls, 'Back the Blue' bumper stickers, and entire wardrobes full of camo and orange or camo and pink. And obviously we have tons of those people in our country, because Trump just won, and it was actually a landslide if you look at the districts (he won something like 3k out of the possible 3,200 districts, something like that).

F-word those people, f-word those movies.

 

[d0nny donowitz]

^^ you're not wrong i lived in north carolina for a time and worked for the electric company all the hillbilly dudes i worked with we're going nuts about american sniper

 

[Master Zik]

Zero Dark Thirty really wasn't a go USA rah rah rah movie.

Also you should've known what 13 hrs was gonna be just off promo.

The started showing 13.hours in my town and up until then in had never been called. rag head.... some kid at the gym called me that... made eye contact with him.asked him to repeat it..... he didn't

 

[cmonbreaux]

Just watched a movie called Unfriended.........

Sorry. You'll never get that time back...

 

[d0nny donowitz]

i havent seen ZD30 in a min. but i disagree.

it details taking out the leader of brown, islamic menace, an assassination that cant even be substantiated with hard evidence. how much more pro USA can you get? the cia was heavily involved w/ its production, as well

i rarely watch trailers and did not know michael bay directed 13 hrs. until the opening credits. the subject matter alone lets you know what time it is. however, as i said before i wanted to see halpert and roy in serious roles. if i had known it was a bay film beforehand i wouldn't have bothered

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Zero Dark 30 really bothered me... When Jessica Chastain's Maya character said I'm the MFer that found... There is no way in heck an analyst would ever say something like that to a Sec of Def...

I liked it a lot when I first watched it (even my 12 year old son liked it), but the more I watch The Revenant, the more I like it. Such a quiet storm quality to this flick. Great story, great acting, great cinematography, & great score. It all worked beautifully together.

I can't wait until Inarritu's next flick.

Last I checked Osama took credit for 9/11 and subsequent terrorist attacks since.

The movie wasn't gonna be Law & Order style where the detectives make the case first with evidence, motivation, and eyewitnesses.

Him being guilty is already taken as fact.

That Patriots Day trailer strikes me as pro USA. Same with 13 hrs, American Sniper, etc. Lone Survior didn't strike me as pro USA the same way ZDT didn't. I didn't get the go USA vibe by the end. Sometimes the opposite.

Sort of how I can't think of a good Vietnam war flick that's pro USA.

the cia was heavily involved w/ its production, as well

So what?

They bought the rights to and made Animal Farm too.

Oh I see. I knew Bay was involved from the jump and didn't bother even though I'm a fan of Jim as well.

Heard the movie was good for action and not as bad as other terrible Bay flicks.

 

[stuntman mike]

i watch those war movies and enjoy them if they're done well. doesn't make me think any less of any religion, ethnicity or culture. one of my favorites was blackhawk down.

the one movie that did give me a twinge of race hate was the cove and funny enough, i watched it on my phone while on the plane to japan....and i'm japanese
watching it i was like....these damn **** gotta go man.

 

[sb]

Just watched a movie called Unfriended.........

i saw it too. was low key interested of the movie being completely through a computer screen.

 

[IATT]

Unfriended was so damn dumb..



Watched a movie with peter Dinklage called 'knights of badassdom' was dumb, but it didn't take itself seriously.. mildly entertaining for a late night watch

 

[CP1708]

I don't thin any of them are really rah rah USA. Zero Dark Thirty, Sole Survivor, 13 Hours, or American Sniper.

I'm sure there were things in there that shed positive light where maybe it shouldn't have, sure, same goes for any movie, ever. Look at the BS Blind Side alterations, or Remember the Titans. Both of those were amped up a ton.

Sole Survivor I thought was a GREAT honoring of those men. Marky, Ben Foster, Riggins, and Hirsh were all outstanding. They made you feel for those soldiers. (the point of these movies) They weren't saying we should, or shouldn't be doing anything as a country, they said look at these 4 regular dudes, who got caught in a terrible situation.

Same as 13 Hours. Bay sucks usually, but he was great in this one, because he stepped back and let the story show what was needed. CLEARLY there is stuff we don't know, or never will know about why things happened, certainly liberties have to be taken there, but the STORY of the film, these men helping people they didn't have to help and some of them paying the price for it.......to me, that's honoring those soldiers. You, me, and anyone else has to grasp that some details will be filled in fuzzily. No one working on these films were actually there, you're going off reports and second hand remembrances.

ZD30, I mean......who knows? Iono know if even Obama knows.

And Sniper, to me, was about a dude who was pretty bad ***, and had his faults, and showed his struggles "at home" and then was taken out by a guy he was trying to help at home. That's rough. And they showed that. Liberties? Of course there were. Who wouldn't know that going in?????

If you watch a war movie expecting shot for shot, detail for detail recreations, that's on you. If you watch Troy, do you expect some of that **** to really be how it was? Or do you understand, well, it's kiiiiiiinda like that, with some differences here and there, etc.

Obama-hating, gun-toting, Muslim-fearing, stars-and-bars waving, right wing, conservative, Republican Christians with "Hoo-rah!" mating calls, 'Back the Blue' bumper stickers, and entire wardrobes full of camo and orange or camo and pink

Love Obama, no guns, no fear, don't own a flag or anything close, don't know what right wing is, uh, I dunno, not republican, yes Christian, no hoo rah, no bumper stickers ever, and zero cammo wardrobe. I just enjoy films. Those are quality films, that I don't take as word of God, just recreations of events in our world. *shrugs*

i was getting at that seal team 6's assassination of bin laden in 2011 cant be substantiated nor can the route the US took to get the information regarding bin laden's whereabouts.

im no tinfoil on the head dude and dont care either way but if/how/when bin laden met his demise cant be proven but the us govt. tells us it happened a certain way then an acclaimed film (in which the cia is heavily involved) comes out to buffer those claims .. it just felt to me like the US govt. force-feeding the public their truth.

I didn't think it was an awful movie or anything it just felt a hell of a lot like propaganda

I mentioned lone survivor and while i'm not a fan of wahlberg it was dope to me. berg should be commended for making it realistic, or more realistic than some war films are. them boys were really getting lumped up out there; like how many times has someone fallen down a steep hill in a movie and just brushed the dust off and walked away? i think ben foster is crazy underrated as well and was happy to see him and timmy riggins in it

C CP1708 there's taking liberties and then there's creating an entire event, corroborating with hollywood and passing it off as the truth. and it might be. we may never know what really happened and that's fine because im watching these things to be entertained. authenticity is not my concern. And s*** the govt. and Hollywood have been in cahoots since the 1950s and prob. before. But w/ ZD30 it seemed especially blatant

Oh okay but I'm just talking about the whole pro USA rah rah, these brown ppl are the enemies kind of propaganda.

Even if ZDT was fiction I wouldn't see it as the aforementioned.

Now if the US is selling us a lie on how things actually went down is an entirely different matter. On that front the CIA is known to sell a certain narrative and theme about America via Hollywood movies but to me ZDT isn't a while lot of positivity or USA is right Islam/Middle westerners/etc. are wrong and the enemy.
