standing ovation per REDACTED di de palma a VENEZIA64

[aNimaLmex]

too much time

[poeticlargess]

"what happens within those formats is too fake to believe. The soldiers don't sound like soldiers; they sound like the cast of Rent acting like roughnecks, complete with cringingly false badass dialogue (''You're so goddamn white you wouldn't wear yourself after Labor Day!'')......supposedly based on a real incident from 2006. We can tell he's recycling his contrived Vietnam film, Casualties of War."

Entertainment Weekly

[RamsesCairoC]

At last THE MASTER is getting some recognision!!!

[IzNGra]

Movie wasnt all that..

Bad acting and plot holes messed it up!

I want my money baack!!

Oh wait.. I downloaded it XD

[courtney359]

Just watched it reminded me of one of those straight to DVD MOVIES very bad.

[HODESSA]

what do u mean, sorry??

[ElimRem]

i didnt know he made good movies

[HODESSA]

:OOO

[Vlad788]

Do they have to clap that long?!, lol.

[HODESSA]

of course we did and it's just a part of it. have u ever been at a festival???

[Vlad788]

Yeah, but I never clapped that long, lol.

[Vlad788]

What was the occasion?

[TheFanonite]

Well deserved applause for a genuinely brilliant piece of cinema, which is both timely and powerful. Thanks for posting this.

[HODESSA]

why is bad? bad acting bad script bad everything? is the new frontier of cinema. i'm really surprised that u don't understand it

[DifangDuana]

Horrible movie. Bad acting, bad scripts, and bad directing.  Enough said.

[dvcorleone]

This is one of the worst movies i have ever seen. It looks like something made by kids. Terrible!

[jockmock2]

Are you retarded sir?

[XBOXHUEG]

No, he's right.

[jdhawkeye1752]

bwaaaa haaaaa haaaaa! This is probably the same crowd that goes home and watches child pornography

[HODESSA]

have u seen this movie?? how u dare to offend me and all the people that appreciated this movie?? it was venice film festival one of the most important of the world, we were all students, journalists, and insiders. u'd better apoligize or i'll report u

[kingqueenoff21]

this movie is not what the army is about this movie just magnifies an event by .01% of the army as if it were 100%.

[mopsius]

There may have been others not now known, but my nominees for the three bravest Americans in Vietnam: Hugh Thompson, Jr., Glenn Andreotta, and Lawrence Colburn.

[queny2]

So what's Iraq got to do with World War two? Lets see you ask if people call WW2 GIs terrorists? No. You will note there was never any film like "Redacted" about the US Army in WW2, at the time or since, by De Palma or anyone else.

[mopsius]

They don't want you to see it folks, including you folks inthe US Military.

I have seen it. It's a masterpiece.

[mopsius]

There is a systematic and organized attack on DePalma and Redacted on youtube by morons who have not seen the film they attack.

[a46209]

I watched it & anyone with a brain cell or just a fleeting moment of consciousness should know that this is not how the military works or the Marine Corps at that. It was just pure hate on the military & that event. It was horribly done, & it looked like they were trying to give the effect that this is truly how it is when he doesn't know anything about it, yet he turns & makes a movie that propagates that our troops there are some vicious animals. This guys a piece of shit & needs to die.

[ThatNumber3]

Whatever country this is that gave him a standing ovation, you rock. This man won't get that kind of respect in the states because most of our population are fucking terrorists. But I guess that's what happens when you live in the terrorist capital of the world...

[HODESSA]

venice film festival. have u ever heard about venice?? have u ever heard about ITALY???

[ThatNumber3]

Of course I have, jeez. How was I supposed to know where it was held.

[HODESSA]

it's written with caps VENEZIA64 ;)

[ThatNumber3]

How was I supposed to know what VENEZIA64 means?

[pansch1138]

Why don't you leave the country then? After all, you're in the terrorist capital. Your chances of survival are very slim. You'd be better off in China, or Korea, hell, even Iraq. Your islamic friends will bring you in, and accept you with open arms. I'm sure they'll give you a sloppy kiss and protect you. They love all people. So really...you should leave. We're all terrorists you know (Dumbass).

[ThatNumber3]

Oh wah wahh you fucking babies. You are so brainwashed...

[achaak1]

thatnumber3... hi, welcome to fucking america. we work hard, are extremely diverse, watch a lot of tv, and are often fat. most of us focus on raising our families and making ends meet. have you met any of us?

just cos bush throws the T-word around way too much doesn't mean you can too.

[ThatNumber3]

Ha! that's what you think, couldn't be further from the truth.

[achaak1]

No, that's what YOU think, couldn't be further from the truth.

see, anyone can say that. it means nothing. what you need to address is WHY? what evidence do you have to support your claims?

[brandywineraceway]

Venice, Italy. Perhaps some of the people who live there would want to give a standing ovation in honor of the thousands of US soldiers who died in the fight to liberate their country in WWII. They rocked! Would you classify those soldiers as terrorists? Given his heritage, one would hope that Mr. DePalma appreciates that sacrifice.

[ThatNumber3]

So now he's against WWII vets!? wow, you people come up with the strangest shit...

[brandywineraceway]

I didn't say he is against WWII vets. I only said there might be some residents of Venice who would want to applaud the soldiers who helped secure the freedom of that country as well as yours, mine and Mr. DePalma. It is interesting that Mr. DePalma did not make a movie about that effort but instead choose to comment on this one incident. If you are going to take the time to respond please read slowly so that you might understand.

[mopsius]

You are a moron. You know how many atrocities Allied forces committed in Italy?

And the Germans before them.

Go fuck yourself.

[HODESSA]

actully americans are not really loved in italy for what they still do to us both here in italy and outside italy.......

[achaak1]

italy was with the axis actually... we didn't "liberate" them, we fought their fascist asses tooth and nail.

[ThatNumber3]

Bingo!

[brandywineraceway]

To "ThatNumber3"

Since you echoed the point made by achaak1, please note my answer above.

[brandywineraceway]

In case you are unaware, many Italians joined the resistance (my grandfather was one of them so I think I can comment factually) and fought alongside the Allies against the Germans and fellow Italians. Do you think these fighters deserve a standing ovation for fighting the facist?

[pansch1138]

Really (ThatNumber3)? You've got to be the biggest pussy there is. Can you come up with a better argument other than telling folks they're brainwashed. It's funny how all you idiots get all your info from Hollywood movies and Michael Moron (it obviously doesn't take much to brainwash you). Go cry yourself to sleep you big baby. It must just scare the hell out of you knowing you're surrounded by terrorists. Tell your peace loving Islamic friends I said hi and wish them the best.

[ThatNumber3]

That would be a waste of time, in fact, just responding at all is a waste of time.

Anyway, I'm not scared of being surrounded by terrorists at all, I have the means to protect myself :)

Plus, this country won't be here for much longer anyway. Good riddance!

kthxbye

[matteozanioli]

io c'ero!!!!!

[HODESSA]

spettatore pagante  o, come me, pellegrino accreditato in fila per due ore e mezza??? ;)

[matteozanioli]

PAGANTE!!!!

[HODESSA]

che altri film hai visto??

[matteozanioli]

historie d'o, redacted, per un pugno di dollari

[HODESSA]

capito

[ironhardt]

De Palma is just another rich, liberal, cocksucker that needs to eliminated. FUCK YOU DE PALMA!

[essenciademusica]

Congratulations Brian de palma!

[essenciademusica]

i m from brazil!

I speaking Portuguese!

[HODESSA]

ah ok, i thought u were spanish, sorry heheheh

[essenciademusica]

Eu me pergunto onde se encontra esta liberdade que os americanos tanto ovacionam?Parabéns Brian! Pessoas como vc. fazem o mundo valer a pena!

[HODESSA]

essencia de musica could u please translate what u have written>?' i can understand a bit what u have said but not clearly. where are u from??

[RideOnHardOn]

Liberal DePalma should make a documentary about when the Libs decided to drop 2 Atomic Bombs on the Japanese to end WWII.

Did you know there were babies that were burned to death the very day they were born and 90 year old people that were against what their Japanese Government had done to start the war.

Libs really know how to kill with the A-Bomb.

[RideOnHardOn]

De Palma is a typical Liberal monkey and he must be a dick lickin' fag.

Everyone knows Libs hate the troops and they've been spitting on them back during Vietnam and WWII.

[cdv5150]

Really? That's funny considering DePalma is a vietnam vet and a registered republican.

But - wait, you haven't seen the movie have you. Now who's the fag. :)

[thunderFence]

shouldn't you be losing a war or ass raping some a-rab?

[OaktownUSA]

The guy is getting a lengthy rousing standing ovation. You cannot argue with that. Redacted must be awesome and I can't wait to see it. Their hands must be stinging from all that clapping.

[Casleigh3911]

Brian DePalm is laughing all the way to the bank while he exploits the country that made him who he is. Liberals, gotta love 'em.

[23house23]

Un-huh, so if you live in a country in which the government is doing something you stand against, you should just shut the fuck up about it and watch on as Fox News spits out more and more bullshit propaganda. Yeah, land of the free mate.

Blindly patriotic Republicans, gotta love 'em.

[Casleigh3911]

I watch ALL news channels, not just Fox. I like to get a perspective from all sides, unlike you, apparently. And as a wife of someone serving in Iraq right now, I am very anti-war, but rather than taking time to actually asses my comments against DePalma, you automatically assume I'm some "blind" Republican. This shows your ignorance very well. Congrats!

[23house23]

O RLY? You have some hound 'serving' in Iraq, eh? Well wow, that sure wouldn't lead to an unbiased stance of what the troops get up to over there.

OWNED. kthnxbi

[Casleigh3911]

He is actually a very honorable, trusting, and loving human being who does not agree with why is he is, but nonetheless, he made a committment a while ago when he was lied to about WMD and has a certian amount of time he is obligated to. There are a lot of troops in his position. DOn't assume they all love being there and love to kill, rape, and spread hate. Sounds like you have been tainted more by media than me.

[23house23]

I didnt say that. Silly woman.  It's a goddamn shame all these men are being used as pawns for a mismanaged government. The reality is, however, that this is fucking WAR. The country has been raped, in every fucking sense of the word. Go ahead and try to disagree with me.

[Casleigh3911]

You are a silly man. I can say stupid stuff like that too. It is a shame that they are being used, and most cannot do anything about it right now. My major problem with this movie (which started this whole discussion) is that it shows the atrocities only from an anti-military perspective. All I know HATE being there and do not really understand why.

[23house23]

Remember Abu Ghraib? That's the type of shit that's really happening in wars. Look at history for fack's sake, that's what war is.

[HODESSA]

the movie ( i'm the only one who have seen it,here) it's just the truth.italy isn't in war with anyone and americans here do the same whatever they want. google for the following items: cermis, calipari, dal molin. but take care of visitng italian sites. u'll learn a lot of things. de palma talk about an ATTITUDE of americans abroad. and believe me that whatever u'll see in the movie is EXACTLY the impression americans gives abroad

[RideOnHardOn]

Cry me a big handful!!!

[23house23]

Look anyway I'm going. For what it's worth, I hope your husband comes back safe. Take care.

[Casleigh3911]

Thanks. I mean it.

[Casleigh3911]

Crazy liberals are just as dangerous as crazy conservatives. You obviously missed my point. I wouldn't expect much more from someone who can only respond with "go watch Fox News". Intelligent.

[23house23]

'ALL NEWS CHANNELS' WOW!!!!! OMGZ, ABC, Fox, CNN, BBC... such a diverse array on information! Have you considered the source? Maybe you should read into how US jets TWICE bombed Al-Jazeera news channels in the initial stages of the invasion as they were broadcasting shit that would never be shown on your huge array of news channels.

OWned again. Shut up.

[Casleigh3911]

I am not owned. You just say owned. That is so stupid.

And you just pick some news channels and assume that is all I watch. How in the hell would you even know?

I guess I can just type "owned" and that makes it so. hmmm....

[23house23]

Alright, tell me what News channels you've seen that instill this feeling that your troops are like the Care Bears (smudge out the tanks and big machine guns, and that's EXACTLY what they look like, eh?)

[CINDYSHEEHANWASRIGHT]

the troops will be spit on when they come home.

[TBRambo]

good job De Palma!

[pansch1138]

De Palma should do a video on how bad saddam treated his people, especially the woman.

[HODESSA]

de palma has done a very good movie about how americans behave abroad and how US government allow them to do whatever they want and kill whoever they want as well

[pansch1138]

I just said De Palma should make a movie about the atrocitities of Saddam. Sure the Americans are the ones killing all the innocent civilians with car bombs and IEDs. They are the ones blowing up the churches and crashing planes. And Saddam Hussain was a saint who cared so much about his people (It's sad how propaganda works on the week minded).

[HODESSA]

no propaganda. we all know what saddams did to his people. americans don't know what other americans do abroad, and believe me that it's not so different. with the difference that if an american soldier kills or rape someone, even here in italy , the giovernment will NEVER ALLOW this soldier to be judged. instead of thinking that arabians or other population are bad or narrow minded, try to get some knowledge about what USA do abroad....

[cdv5150]

Here's an idea. Why don't YOU make a movie about the atrocities of Saddam.

[pansch1138]

We don't need to make a movie about saddam, butt for brains. Where have you been the last 27 years, locked in a box? And we care about DePalma being a vietnamn vet because why? Everyone says they're a veitnam vet...even Kerry. Get a life.

[Casleigh3911]

This is so ignorant. Americans do not do whatever they want abroad. Sure, there are a few bad apples in the military out of the million, but for the most part, there have been a very low number of war crimes. Extremely low.

[HODESSA]

it's not ignorant at all. americans abroad DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, the problem is that maybe u've never been in europe, and in america they don't tell u what americans do here. have u hever heard about DAL MOLIN for example??? or about CALIPARI?? or CERMIS???or about the 90 ATOMIC AMERICAN BOMBS we have here in italy in north east??? no i don't think so, so next time u have to talk about what happen in europe and in italy please be less ignorant.

[Casleigh3911]

You make such an overt generalization. so you be less ignorant. okay...nice talk.

[23house23]

Yeah, keep watching Faux News asshole

[Casleigh3911]

My qualms are with people like DePalma sitting in their mansions making assertions about the honorable service men and women, not the fact that the war is an atrocity, b/c I do believe it is

[frio109]

Brian de Pig Fucker Palma leftish lieing political bull shit.

[bgturk]

Actually women had far more rights under Saddam, than they do now.

[achaak1]

saddam did in fact build a secular, modernised state which granted many freedoms to women (which they still have, though.) hell, even the taliban did more to cut down on poppy-farming than anyone else ever could in afghanistan. but just because regimes have some good qualities that doesn't make up for the bad ones. saddams main problem was that he wanted to bury every kurd, suppress the majority ethnic groups, and let his own people starve rather than cooperate for sanctions to be lifted.

[Sephiiiii]

or about abu graib or guantanmo bay prison

[HODESSA]

soprattutto negli states!! for english speaking  users: i don't know about any trailers, the movie is in competition at the mostra, i really hope it will be showned in USA and most of all that it will be showned completely, it's not the usual documentary , it's a kind of docu.fiction but really realistic, i hope it will win the lion

[bernalyckan]

It looks that the film 'Redacted' had made a very good impression at the festival. Brian De Palma is to remember. But most americans are very ignorant and bad people.

[dinnerat942]

What a silly, stupid comment. I suppose you've lived in the states, attended university here and have a point of reference.... If it makes you feel superior...keep buying into that boring, cliched stereotyped tripe. Yup, we all have a 6th grade e-du-cashun, talk real loud and try-n kill bout everythang we can eat or don't understand.

[dinnerat942]

One last thought, it is pure sophistry (a deliberately invalid argument displaying ingenuity in reasoning in the hope of deceiving someone) to use an isolated event, dramatize that event and then use that as somehow symbolic of Americans in general and the US military specifically.

[kfrandomcharacters]

you're ignorant and bad to say something like that yourself. moron.

I'll have you know we're chickenshits. That's why President Cheney is still in office.

[dinnerat942]

You can't even make a cogent point and yet I'm the moran, ignorant and bad....whatever....As far as being a chickenshit, speak for yourself.

[kfrandomcharacters]

lol. I wasn't talking to you (dinnerat942). My comment was in response to bernalyckan. I clicked reply on his comment, not realizing the comments wouldn't be threaded.

[frio109]

bernalyckan is brian pig fucker palma's gay lover.

[ajnadeen]

is there any trailers available yet of teh film?

[puccini007]

I'm very hopeful for this film, I desperatly want to see it, and I'm also very happy for Brian De Palma, I have always think he's a very good director sadly underrated and even hated by a lot of people. I think he deserved that hand clapping a long time ago.

[HODESSA]

3 minutes claping is minimum for a movie wich is a real MEA CULPA OF UNITED STATES ABOUT WHAT USA HAVE DONE IN IRAQ  AND TO ITALIANS IN IRAQ!)

[THEDIRECTOR]

BRAVO!! Unbelievable! It's about time someone told it like it is. Our media!  God FORBID they disturb anyone.

[allgoodnickstaken]

REDACTED seems to be awaking

[mantego75]

Speriamo che il film possa avere il successo che si merita, anche negli States.
