A controversial movie..

[Vercades]

I don't want to make this thread controversial but, there's this big hit of a movie that was made showing American soldiers as the bad guys. For some reason the government is banning it from the U.S.

Thing is, I think they should just show it and let the general public of America make up our own minds. Anyone agree?

[tom_36]

yes i agree. sounds like something that russia or china would do.

Exactly what movie are you referring to?

You've got to be kidding? Show a movie that makes us look bad? I would like to see it for myself too and then make a decision for myself. I fully support the people serving, but not all of them are perfect. Would be interesting to see what it's all about.

[renegade600]

what movie? have not heard anything about it besides who needs a movie to make us look bad, just watch the news. :D

[DonBB]

Make what decision for yourself...whether or not the troops are bad guys? Sounds like you've got your mind made up already. I believe this (http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,401565,00.html) is the movie Vercades is talking about, and if it really is banned, I think you'll see why.

If you're referring to the Turkish movie, Valley of the Wolves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_Wolves_Iraq), I can't find anything about it being banned anywhere. I did find a number of sites talking about how Cinemax, one of Germany's largest video chains withdrew the film in Germany.

I may be Canadian but I agree, don't worry I'm not being held at gun point. :D

Somebody on a CBC Report said that the U.S. troops should just back off from those country's & let them work it out themself.

Why bother things won't change in those cases until the 4 horse men.

Why waste time staying there, why not focus on U.S. if your a U.S. Troop.

Thanks for the link, I heard about that movie a couple of weeks ago but forgot about it. I don't think its banned - is it? I think its more that the powers to be decided not to distribute it here in the states for commercial and political reasons.

[Vercades]

It's in the bureau works of being banned. I just got tired of being correct... sorry. ...lol

They show movies to make money. From what I read in the review I doubt that many would bother to go see it. It's more of a propaganda film that anything else. The Germans turned out many of them during world war II.

You could say the same about any movie that stars J-Lo and Ben Affleck :D

Armageddon was brilliant.

Well, the film was a load of crap but, Liv Tyler was oustanding.
