Should have been called American Propaganda.

 

Your thoughts?

The original title was "Hollywood biopic absolves the subject of any and all controversy that may have surrounded the subject when they were alive".

 

Like every biographical movie to ever be made, ever.

[Morty Smith]

It´s a movie about a man who kills a man who killed many men.

 

7.5 / 10

Wasn't the dude a complete racist? Dunno why America's cinema promotes that stuff.

[Matieo]

One of the worst Oscar nominated films I've ever seen, and I've seen about 90% of those nominated for Best Picture in the last 60 years.

Dude you see the bit on drunken peasents about this? clasic.

Lier to i hear.

The Oscar movies this year are much worse than the previous year.

 

I find this movie much more interesting than 2013-14 oscar nominated movies:

They don't promote it, they ignore it.

ihere that one was pretty good. like a WW2 Enemy mine.

[General TSAR]

It's a popcorn movie that will be forgotten in time.

 

However, the movie did point out the neglect and difficulty adjusting to civilian life our veterans suffer from, which kinda takes away a part of the "propaganda" aspect of it. 

 

Overall I enjoyed it. 

[LPPrince]

 

They don't promote it, they ignore it.

 

Well yeah, but I meant they promote it by ignoring its negatives and embracing it anyway.

 

I have a friend who's father is a racist and apparently his dad was all, "Yeah! Kill them *insensitive words*!" watching commercials or the film itself. Can't remember the details. Apparently he did the same for Zero Dark Thirty.

 

Its just...damn. Media sucks way too often. GOTTA EMBRACE THAT NEGATIVITY FOR DEM DOLLARS THO, RITE

[DEUGH Man]

I don't think the movie was good, but I think it's laughable that people consider any American military movie that portrays the American soldiers or their cause in a positive light to be propaganda.

[bmwcrazy]

So much hate in this thread.

Now I really want to watch this movie.

Haha, that's usually how it works.

 

I didn't saw the movie, but from some of the reviews I saw the protagonist isn't really glorified or anything. In fact, it's shown his job puts an toll on him and his inability to adapt back into civilian life. Kind of reminds of that movie about bomb specialists. What was it's name? I can't remember it.

You could use that definition to say that just about anything is propaganda.

[Elhanan]

One of the worst Oscar nominated films I've ever seen, and I've seen about 90% of those nominated for Best Picture in the last 60 years.

And the past couple of decades have been so corrupted by politics, that this may be a problem in itself. Prefer entertainment over agendas and the like.

Though interested in the subject manner, will pass on this film for strong language.

Okay. What were they trying to mislead people about?

[mybudgee]

Okay. What were they trying to mislead people about?

The fact that war is awful, not "heroic" and that there are always innocents & children caught in the crossfire
