It was a huge spectacle, unlike all the movies you mentioned save Lion for Lambs, with big names, and in the US it made less than $50 million, which for a movie on it's scale, is poor.Just OOC, has either of you seen it?Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
Good example
I'm just interested in seeing how Dan will try to weasel that one into not a pro-war film

I liked We Were Soldiers, apparently it depicts a time earlier on when the Viets were willing to take us on directly and why they changed tactics
I generally like war movies, if they're historically accurate thats even better

Band of Brothers, while not a Hollywood movie, got excellent reviews. I wouldn't call it pro- or anti- war, but it had enough scenes in it to make a person think twice about being gung-ho about war.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Re: Americans don't support anti-war films
Maybe they just don't support crappy films.Originally posted by DanS
But it's interesting to see a far left Hollywood still serve up those movies. As if it were some public service that they were doing.
Lions for Lambs... bombed
Rendition... bombed
In the Valley of Elah... bombed
Redacted... to bomb?
Despite a who's who of top notch talent participating in the films.
Some of these films even are in the majority opinion on these issues.
It used to be that Hollywood participated in the government's propaganda. But that hasn't been the case for the last 50 years.
My personal opinion is that Americans don't go into self flagellation. If Hollywood wants to put the hate on America, then middle America (and not so middle America) checks out.Comment
