Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Re: Unnecessary political statements.

[quote name="Lizard_King"]I wouldn't say every scene that has something that isn't particularly flattering is bullshit created by the scriptwriter. Creating new insurgents was a running line of commentary for us, for instance, and I thought that was actually pretty good apart from the fact that it happened after a completely bullshit escalation of force situation. In Baghdad 04 that guy would have been dead long before he made it to the cordon. That was a big problem for us as occupiers, and the reason we had escalation of force protocols pretty well formalized by 05. I'm just saying the broader "here's some more wacky shit that my command does nothing about" idea that takes hold within minutes in the movie is not one that is particularly insightful, realistic, or neutral about the war. I guess if your idea of tactical proficiency was shaped by FPSes it's tough to relate but trust me when I say it's not a 1:1 transfer. This guy made the Valley of Elah. He hasn't had a political conversion since then. TRUST NO ONE, CREEXULS. [/quote]
