Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Re: The lack of anti war moralizing and preaching, that is what.

[quote name="Lizard_King"]The more I think about it, the less I agree with you here. I would say that enabling adrenaline junkies to engage in high risk patterns of behavior while occasionally offing enemy captives (NICE ACTING SPICOLI!) is not what I would call flattering, and since it's not concerned with realism it's difficult to regard it as a movie that is just trying to tell some reasonable version of the truth. In fact, I would go so far as to say that this represents a compromise between the need to condemn the military and the war that Boal probably has, and the cowardice many in Hollywood display about following up those convictions in portrayals of the men on the ground. You know, because they support the troops just not the war etc etc. So they just buried the lede.[/quote]
