#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Aren't snipers supposed to be cowardly and evil?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Is this a film like Crash? Where one of the characters is a massive racist, but its OK, because he cares for his ailing father? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Crash was so blatant ... I hated that movie. Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby was almost as blatant as Crash. Aren't they from the same writer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That's different. Almost nothing is known about William Wallace.Also, in these days of increased social responsibility, to paint a heroic portrayal of a person who seems to be a mass murderer....Not everyone who fought in the armed forces was a hero, or did so because of heroic or any sort of lofty intentions. Having said that i'm not against this film in any way. I just have no interest in seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It's killing people, who have demonstrated they will use suicidal explosive tactics, before they have a chance to kill you first, but it also hinges on propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
