I went to see the movie LIONS FOR LAMBS today. It stars Robert Redford, Meryl Streep & Tom Cruise and a bunch of others I can’t remember.
Its a movie that makes you think. You either argree with it or you don’t. You can call it wotever the hell you want because this is America and your are entitled to your opinion(s) and thats a good thing.
The movie is definitely a political statement. I whole heartedly agree with it. To me, all that is being talked about is no different then Viet Nam. The big difference between Nam and now….. media coverage and technology.
You can rant and rave all you want about da movie. The bottom line is Americans are off in a foreign land, dying! There is a war! There are dead people, people loosing limbs, people coming home mental and smart ass asshole are debating political correctedness sh*t weather this movie is liberal, not liberal this that or the other.
Good movie, junk movie, indifferent movie it don’t make no frkng dang difference to the soldier overseas under fire. How does all this political bebate honor dead American soldier? It seems to me sometimes that political debates only honor whoever wins the political debate. The soldier does his duty for his country while politicans debate, jockey for positions and write CYA memos.
I don’t usually read movie reviews. If/when I do, I read it after I see the movie. I googled after I saw the movie. I went to: www.rottentomates.com I guess this is suppose to be a junk movie if you believe movie critics.
I am my own movie critic. I go to see a movie because I want to see a movie. Not because “the powers that be” point me in a particular direction.
In reading some of the comments at rottentomatoes.com I was surprised to read stuff like “so and so really don’t want you to see this movie.” And I’m thinking…..so if there is a lot of negative stuff written about it then people won’t go to see it? They believe who ever the critic is weather its good, bad or indifferent?
There are all kinds of message board and debates about the movie and so yes it makes for interesting postings and all. But its nothing new and profound, everybody thinks they are right. Whats scarey to me is, WE are not learning from our own mistakes. Should we not have learned from our history? Hmmmm easier said then done huh. Ok, I understand that part personally. LOL
Our actions makes a difference. Our mentality. You know act locally, think globally. Vote. Don’t vote. Shuttup. You know what I mean?
