Brian De Palma: Reasons for making "Redacted"

[QuatermassMan]

He's a mysogonist copy cat artist. ALL his films are rips of Hitchcock. BLATANT rips! The movie is about the rape of women and in every movie he makes women are raped or just belittled. Watch 'em! Women are just puppets or whores. This man is a rip off artist of the highest order. Fuck him and his movies.

[seavoyagerful]

@QuatermassMan James cameron movies: remakes, sequels and based on facts and many pieces and pasted from other movies. no creativity or personality. and could at least have cited inspiration for Dario Argento palm, but a no-brainer as you do not know.

[marvscole]

The war is to fill up USA government asses with money, while other countries struggle to survive.... this kind of film is to brain wash peoples head...

[boatstaylor]

Stupid movie! 

[delysid22]

He's clever, honest and courageous

[chukmaty]

No. Try a deliberate liar, crude, and amateurish.

[delysid22]

1- the story related in Redacted are based on TRUE FACTS.

2- crude? I guess you're right on this

3- The guy has made over 25 movies ,thar means he's a professional

[delysid22]

Overall he's a courageous artist because he's saying through his movies what most of us would rather ignore.

And the reactions he get'swith Redacted in his own country show how most of the Us citizens are completly brainwashed by propaganda

[chukmaty]

No, he is creating a false narrative implicating thousands of people in a terrible situation that we did not ignore as a country, but rather reacted to with swift justice on the perpetrators.

Liars are not courageous, slanderers are the ultimate cowards in fact.

[delysid22]

You're right ,the american justice didn't ignore the crimes. But where do you see a false narrative, where is the liar ?

In this movie he's studiying the nature of war,army. It's not against US army it's about how a wrong,insane political decision affect soldiers' behaviour on the field

[chukmaty]

The false narrative is in depiction, the horrible events leading up to the rape and death of this girl are an exception and hardly a rule when it comes to the thousands of members of the USMC. Look at the movie, I mean watch it, look at how they are depicted. The commander is fat for effing sake, how many active Marines do you know who are fat?

The Barracks scenes are pathetic, Confederate Flags everywhere... not only is the acting horrible, but the characterization is false.

[delysid22]

Everytime I get same answers pointing some details (and yes the acting is horrible)Here I'm talking about the general meaning of this movie.

Redacted is interesting and COURAGEOUS for what it says about Politics and Wartime behaviours

[chukmaty]

1) Not really, are you telling me this is an accurate depiction of Marines? Also, the incident was made to apply to all Marines, he even implies that in his statements.

2) Yes, you bet I am.

3) You would think so. This is why it is shocking for me to see this movie, it is pure filth with no redeeming qualities. Highly unexpected to see something this low brow and this shoddy in quality come from a respected "professional" who indeed has made a few good movies in his time.

[jt64911]

Oh just shut up and make movies

[lorenzogiancarlo]

2 more words Big Money!

[metalkev00]

2 words: Complete Douche.

[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

[adamzanzie]

This was a great film, full of fire and passion. One of De Palma's best.

[0mcguirk0]

Fact is & I defy any of yous to deny this (although you will openly but you'll know it's true) that all of these AMERICA haters are probably all (brainwashed) college grads (1) who do not know thing one about the reason this country came into being (2) & what was done & who was fought to acheive it (3) & have never read the Constitution to know what we really stand for & not what you are told we do (4) & all the lives lost on account of other countries (5) & the lives saved and freed by ours (6)

[172ndsoldier]

anyone know his Email?

[aitch3]

I bet they love him in France! I agree with him BTW.

[Floridanon407]

Then feel free to take a 1 way trip over to france, ill pay for the ticket myself so long as you dont come back

[aitch3]

I meant no disrespect to our great country. I don't agree with the Iraq war, but I think Mr. De Palma is a pompous ass, albeit a talented one.

[metallikafreakabc]

American foreign policy, American hawkish leadership, George W. Bush and his fuckin cronies, and American Military white trash simply disgusts me. Fuck them all. Fuck all motherfuckers who kill, torture, and rape innocents and helpless. Fuck these fucking cowards. And Bet ya, If they face real enemy, these fuckers pee in their pants.

[Floridanon407]

Says a fucking raghead coward who's too goddamn pussy to even let his women go outside along or without covering inch of their skin.

Your country also has people running around throwing acid on school girls, and you retarded hadjis probably all praise them as brave heros

your concept of valor isn't in the least bit rational or sane, go back to your cave, im sure that goat will tide you over till we send you to your virgins

[metallikafreakabc]

Little knowledge is dangerous. We all hate George W Bush, Neo-Cons, American Military Trash as much as we hate Taliban and Osama Trash, all of em have destroyed world peace. This is your concept of valor, not mine but Brian de Palma has show the real face of US Military Shit so as Mike Moore's description of American Foreign Policy with once Osama family being friends of The Bushs. If Yanks like you would have been intelligent, you wouldn't have re-elected the Bozo twice.(:D)

De Palma is Genius

[phrek75]

The american dream, cause you have to be asleep to believe it!

[crackout69]

america is the bad guy in this war, im disgusted to think i have agovernment like that fighting for me, as far as i care i hope america and all the governments officials finally get the ass's blown sky high. if someone came to my country and started killing people and ruining it id blow the fuckers to hell too, good luck to iraq.

[cipher88101]

Ok "obliviouspet", your name says it all. You get your news by nipple, you don't know what the fuck goes on over there. You weren't there. Your comments about oil just prove the fact. Oil prices are higher than ever. Why don't YOU tell ME what atrocities that I commited when I was over there? Sweeping generalizations and finger pointing and you don't even stop to think about the basic fact that your stabbing at us from the very internet we created. DICK!

[obliviouspet]

Oh by the way. You didnt create the internet, you pompous little shit. CERN did. The internet was a joint experiment, made by European scientists. Look something up before you spew garbage. Oh wait, your american, reading or taking part in any intellectual activity is entirely against your principals. LMFAO.

[junior2969]

gallopinto88, you don't fight your own wars actually, what about israel? fighting your wars in lebanon and in palestine with YOUR weapons. Think before you speak... it helps you not look stupid

[cipher88101]

What is more likely to have happened is these guys got away from their SGTs while ON a mission (at night) and now they are paying for their crimes. But trying to dramatize the poor Iraqi people like during the checkpoint scene where the pregnant woman dies. That was the drivers fault, literate or not, do you REALLY think that the Iraqi civilians don't know how to go through a check point? WARZONE PEOPLE! Trust me, they know better than any new soldier what the rules are over there.

[obliviouspet]

You shouldnt even be there to begin with. The only reason youre there is because your corrupt cronies in Washington tasted oil and cant stop their endless greed. So please be kind and shut the fuck up, instead of concocting a sorry ass reason to try and justify your immoral actions and atrocities over there.

[cipher88101]

Who says where we should be oblivious? You? I don't fuckin' think so. We aren't taking oil from Iraq and we are not conquering Iraq, we just removed a tyrant. You shut the fuck up! I don't have to make anything up because you wouldn't know it unless the news told you, you couch potato politician. Fuckin war for oil, same old shit. How about fuckin war for food in Africa, or war for natural resources at the beginning of the 18th century in America? Same shit different war.

[obliviouspet]

- Who says where we should be oblivious? -

This blatant arrogance is exactly your country is the most hated on the entire planet. So i suggest you quit contributing to it, if ur really care about ur sorry ass country.

Oh and btw, ur not taking oil? I suggest you look at all the major oil companies in the US and their charts. Notice how their stocks and profits all skyrocketed since 2003.

Removing a dictator you say? Oh, you mean the same one u helped install. Right right. I forgot.

[cipher88101]

Oh, and by the way, I should have known that your from some backass Euro country whose fucking opinion on world politics amounts to shit. Get the fuck out of here. What the FUCK could you possibly know from fucking Belgium? Not a goddamn thing.

[obliviouspet]

I love it when yanks talk shit about Europe. Since u all migrated from these parts to create your shithole, its kind of ridiculous, wouldnt u agree ? Not to mention the way America was created. Just as savage as you primitive bastards behave today. Massmurdering the indigenous population, stealing their land, resources, colonising, ...

And to put the cherry on top of the cake, you imported blacks to build up yer country. Laughable at its best. Seriously, stop embarassing yourself.

[cipher88101]

Bush propaganda, De Palma propaganda, believe whatever you want. I WAS there and the only way those soldiers could've gotten outside the perimeter would be just about as hard as it would be for haji to get into it. Also, I would like to note that there is no chain of command for these troops in the movie, the master sgt get killed and they dont even keep them inside the gate for a week to cool down, which is normal on most FOBS. I find the daily checkpoint in the same spot a funny touch as well.

[kobhy]

the war should be stopped, period. It's not about being a hippie, morons, it's about being a human.

[BoneMachine84]

"I lived through Vietnam" BULLSHIT! He never served. It's easy for him to criticize soilders and marines while he stays in his gigantic mansion getting fatter and fatter.

[Benjani7]

he didn't say he served. stop putting words in his mouth.

[acsledder08]

talking as if he has fucking served in the military, what a fucking joke!

[piccolo233]

Fucking hippy, go pick some flowers

[360degrade]

Wow! Hold it! He sad mixing real material with fictionalized? This is the totalitarian recipe for propaganda and intoxication (think Germans, Chinese, Russians, etc.) This is a very dangerous and ugly approach, as far as you don´t want to manipulate the audiences. But I forgot DePalma is Hollywood, and Hollywood IS audio-visual manipulation... I´ll see the movie, but I will not pay for it :0)

[Faust668]

De Palma is saying he couldn't use the actual names of soliders, but he could use the situations that had occurred. Remember, once it is filmed or written, it becomes fiction. There is nothing wrong with illustrating the horrors of war - that is dramatization.

[borismuller86]

brian de palma is a genius, one of the greatest directors of all time. he's barely made a poor film in his entire career, so i hope this lives up to the hype!

[AsianKill3r]

De Palma Is a arrogant dumb fuck.

[neogeomm]

Why is he arrogant? I don't get that...

[Backlap]

What a waste of a human being this De Palma creep is.

[toddsaed]

manchu, the bottom level of hell will be a step up for you , there has never been freedom in the US, ask any black man,poor man, woman, hispanic or gay man, you miserable pig

[gallopinto88]

I'm a hispanic man and I'm saying there is freedom in America... Thats why I live here.

[nathanielmak]

that wont always be the case though. After the next false flag terrorist operation is carried out by criminal elements of your government, they will take away even more of your civil liberties to apparently "keep you safe from terrorism". America is turning into a silent fascist state.

[gallopinto88]

hahaha! why dont you stik to the issues pertaining to your imperialistic country and stay the fuck out of our buisness.... You still have colonies and colonists who fight wars for you, you dumb as brit. At least we fight our own wars, and dont have pussies who surrender without a fight!

[modjohnny]

You need to listen to what he's saying. Our civil liberites are under attack. "We" shouldn't be fighting this war to begin with.

[hnymooner]

hey regulatorzone

question, do you think you can be both ignorant and an idiot??? think about it,

and meanwhile, kiss my conservative right-wing ass!

[hnymooner]

ahhh... "aztiff" your message is a

typical leftist(one label fits all)reply,

so simple, yet so lame...

[hnymooner]

de palma is scum and should be tried for treason....

[aztiff]

spoken like a true fascist

[regulatorzone]

you're an ignorant idiot

[sspdirect02]

Freedom of Speech, It is a bitch!

[tinkermi]

Thank god for people like Brian de Palma.

[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.

[mopsius]

His film will still be being watched when you are rotting in whatever grave you dig for yourself.

[gopsmbass]

Trash

[m1rock]

"I lived through Vietnam" Look at this douche bag trying to sound like he was over there fighting. Oh how ever did you survive the harsh American coke parties? Richard Simmons "lived though" Vietnam too. Does that make him just as much of a badass?

[Miguel29891]

He is talking about the propaganda and media expression of what happened not him fighting.

[pekinsmiles]

How about something useful for a change? Hell, how about something TRUE for a change? Disgusting garbage, I'm never watching Dallas again....Cuban can stick it! If I were in the Military these days I'd be fuming!!

[SwissCross]

Another usefull idiot has his say, what else is new.

[7kidchaos]

Redacted was produced (paid for) by NBA Dallas Mavericks owner and America-hater Mark Cuban.

"Redacted" - which "could be the worst movie I've ever seen," said critic Michael Medved -took in just $25,628 in its opening weekend in 15 theaters...

[badsysop]

An estimated 3000 people saw it on opening weekend. De Palma sucks, and Mark Cuban was an idiot for picking this film up.

Sucks to be them.

[enneking10]

The US troops that commited this horrible crime have been punished...What are you taliking about? Do not label our troops on the actions of a few. They have been punished. Depalma is a traitor and a coward!!!

[kinguncleNO17]

I like this message: do not label on the actions of a few. Does this statement apply to all groups of people. Peace to all.

[markslord3]

I'm curious, hasnt anybody ever done any films on the crimes committed by US troops in WWII or Korea? Seriously, every film showing US soldiers being rapists or chld killers is from Vietnam, or from our countries current war.

[enneking10]

Depalma=Traitor!

[m015094]

Depalma isn't the one who raped and murdered an Iraqi woman and her family. I am all for supporting the troops, but I can't support the ones who break the law. I think you need to spend your energy fighting the real "traitors" - the US troops that commit these horrible crimes and make other countries hate the US even more.

[m1rock]

The fucking handful of idiots should not even be considered US soldiers. That is something a person has to earn. They lost that name when they decided to be a bunch of rapist murdering pedophiles. I not only feel for the Iraqi family but for the 2 innocent soldiers who where kidnapped and murdered in retaliation to the acts of those criminals. They gonna each sit in a cell and rot for the next 80 years.

[lousywabbit]

looks good... looks like casualties of war part II- the iraqi theater... "there is violence in the city, but not by me and not by anyone i employ... and i'm gonna tell you why, cause its bad for business"... yum, i can smell those sesame seeds already!!

[bigge525]

Treason? You mean like outing an undercover

CIA agent for political gain? Or maybe fraud?

Like using phony and flawed intel to dupe a

country into war?

Notice the idiotic right can't seem to say or

prove anything untrue from the movie, they

just cry about it and call people names for

showing things that really happened.. so sad.

[frio109]

You mean Richard Armitage, who told the media about Valarie being in the CIA. This was not illegal since she was not undercover. She also conspired with her husband Charlie Wilson to try and discredit the Bush administraion with lies and false reports. Wilson should be in jail for treason

[jim56o45]

Those soldiers, and I do use the term loosely, deserve the harshest punishment. They dishonored their fellow Americans. I think that what you refer as the "idiotic right" is pissed of about is not that they are trying to say this crime didn't happen, it's the fact that De Palma is trying to portray the whole American effort in Iraq through the lens of this crime. In effect he is saying that all American servicemen are murdurous thugs, which is most assuredly not true.

[fireguy123sg]

"redacted" is a great movie! everyone should see it!!

[frio109]

redacted is a piece of lieing leftist political propaganda crap.

[mopsius]

The Untouchables was also in Kubrick's ballpark.

By the way both Clockwork Orange and 2001 were panned viciously when they first came out.

The reviewers didn't get them, just they don't get this.

[timothy666]

Now on par wit Kubrick?! De Palma made Mission to Mars, The Black Dahlia, and Femme Fatale. Some of the worst movies in the past 7 years. Shitty ass movies arent in Kubrick's filmography numbuts.

[Pelter1]

Comparing Kubrick to DePalma? LOL! That's like comparing a paper airplane to an F-22 Raptor.

[mopsius]

Ever watch Mission to Mars and 2001 back to back?

It's DePalma's tribute to Kubrick, though in a competely new direction.

As good as 2001? No. 2001 came first. But on the same page, with a smile.

Kubrick and DePalma have completely different styles. With this movie DePalma maps out territory even Kubrick did not see.

[timothy666]

wow you're a fucking moron who knows jack shit about film history.

[Pelter1]

DePalma is traitorous scum along with Cuban.

[frio109]

True, so true. these scumbags will get Americans killed. Bastards.

[mopsius]

Brilliant film by genius now on par with Kubrick.

[frio109]

Lieing proganda movie that will get Americans killed. You are an idiot, go report imediately to the nearest re-educational center.

[metalwar83]

LOL he calls the rape of a girl a great metaphor for the wars in Vietnam and Iraq. Way to distort and demonize the US you asshole.

[amsterdam78]

This is one of De Palmas' Best I think. It turns the view point around, so to speak. In reality this film is very much like platoon, yet we do not blast that movie; do we. Anyone who blasts this film is ignorant.

[frio109]

We blast you for being an idiot. Platoon also sucked.

[gwalss]

sadly, like de palma, i have to live through ANOTHER 'war that shouldn't have been'. Kudos to BDP for speaking out. and God bless our troops and bring them home soon ....

[3LCZZ]

De Palma just wants to do this or that, etc., etc. He wants to make more money than anyone else. Thats why he is controversial, thats why he uses extreme violence, thats why he uses all aspects of the worst of society to make movies. His god is Money. And Power and Fame. He cannot know what truth is if he doesn't know truth.

[fireextinguisherfilm]

I think garbage hollywood big budget no brainer movies make more money. De Palma wants to expose the world to how fucking inhumane war is, because down the line, the war in Iraq is about oil, nothing else. Who got all the big oil contracts in Iraq? Who is rebuilding Iraq? Who makes the profits on the weapons used? Rich mans war, poor mans blood.

[3LCZZ]

You need to see who bought the oil from Iraq. You need to do research on who the most respected name in oil production and research is. you need to check facts first, then talk to us about the war in Iraq. Once again, people believe those soldiers are ignorant, low income men. They choose to be there and choose to keep going back. People here, sitting cozy, want to tell us about them and you haven't got a clue why they are there and why we are there.

[airskank]

lol is that why oil is almost 100$ a barrel. think for yourself stop repeating all the bs that you hear at some pearl jam concert. this war may have been misguided... but it wasn't about oil or wealth.

[soloakags]

they have child molesters in the world, why not in the army? I HOPE IF HELL IS REAL ARE SOMETHING LIKE THIS I HOPE THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR PASS!!!!!!!!!

[kaybelle]

DePalma is an idiot. It amazes me why people let him make this movie. He should be ashamed of himself.

[fireextinguisherfilm]

OK, IF you really DONT want to watch his movie, do yourself a favor, inrol into the army, kill people who have never done anything wrong to you, die in combat or come back home as a physical or psycological handicap, and then go watch his movie.

[3LCZZ]

You are changing the theme here. Of course you don't want people to have an opposing opinion, it doesn't match yours. Free speech. This movie is about our soldiers demonized about raping and killing a 14 year old girl and those should be tried. But the propoganda machine in the U.S. and Al Qaeda will use this to get volunteers to maim and kill more soldiers. Is that what you want. We are winning in Iraq, even the Democrats are saying it. Start acting like you are for us, not against us.

[kinghlg]

Our military are KILLING TERRORISTS. Are you insane. You are the one who has been brainwashed into believing that all of our military are doing these things. This is ONE horrible event that took place in Iraq. But for some reason no one is making a movie about all of the heroic soldiers risking their lives everyday. Come on man, you can be smarter then this.

[fireextinguisherfilm]

to everyone who is against this movie, watch his movie first and then continue complaning,DePalma shouldnt be censored, let him tell his side of the story,bush and his propaganda team has already influenced you and tured you into a miss-informed, ignorant, flag waving idiot.

[fireextinguisherfilm]

to everyone who is against this movie, watch his movie first and then continue complaning,DePalma shouldnt be censored, let him tell his side of the story,bush and his propaganda team has already influenced you and tured you into a miss-informed, ignorant, flag waving idiot.

[3LCZZ]

Thats like the guy that said go watch Last Temptation of Christ, then make your decision about the movie. There are some movies that are not worth watching and this is one. Why fund the problem. When you try to put out a fire, you don't throw gas on it. Thats for those of you from Rio Linda!

[Sloopydrew]

How can you say the movie isn't worth watching without watching it? Redacted was a surprisingly good, level-headed film that did not "demonize" American troops. There are 2 unethical soldiers in the film and 2 very moral soldiers. One of them is actually heroic and he also happens to be the star of the film.

[3LCZZ]

My reasoning is that Al Qaeda, like the main

stream media, will show only the rape by U.S. soldiers of a 14 year old girl. They want more volunteers. Leading to more killings of our men. While we are now winning, this will do serious damage.

[Sloopydrew]

There is no way to win a war against a concept (terror). And we are not currently winning. Unless you mean we're winning the race to spend more than any other country (1.5 trillion and counting). This movie is NOT damaging to the U.S. troops. Remember Casualties of War? Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox. Two sides. This movie has 2 sides just like that and it doesn't hurt the troops.

[airskank]

It gives justification to those that strap on suicide vests and blow up women and children in a market somewhere or men that are in a line signing up to be police officers to better their country. However, I'm glad we have the right to freely express ourselves but find a more constructive way to do it.

[irishtimothy]

"let him make movies'? Still US of A isnt it? What ever happend to - I dont agree with you but I will fight for your right to say it? Oh, right, Fox News Bill'O, Beck, Malkin, Kristol etc. etc.

[airskank]

the movie is out isnt it? bill o has much of a right to come out and criticize it.

[trexx32]

DePalma is an Idiot.???? Then what hell are you ill put his work up aginst anything you or any member of you family will ever do...in this life or the next...what a douche you are...please list some accomplishments

[kaybelle]

What does my family have to do with anything? My accomplishments? Well I just got out of high school a few months ago in May....um...I'm in college....hmmm but he's making a movie about our troops raping an Iraq girl and making an anti-american movie. My accomplishment may not be very big to you but it's better than what he's doing. Those troops in Iraq, are doing an accomplishment that's bigger and better than you'll EVER do.

It's sickening.

[Sloopydrew]

The movie is NOT "anti-American." You should get a refund from that college you're attending, because it obviously isn't teaching you anything.

[trexx32]

Were both talking about the troops that raped and killed a 14 year old and her family..nice accomplishment..and whose talking about all the troops where talking about the ones that committed this crime

[kaybelle]

Okay. Well the actual troops that it's about are bad. No doubt but all because a few people did a bad thing doesn't mean all the troops are that way and every one who isn't you and crazy far left knows this movie is Anti American. It makes ALL the troops out as bad people. Why would someone do that? All it's going to do is incite anti american rants. If you disagree with the war, that's fine. But don't make USA out as the bad guy and that's what Mark Cuban and Depalma are doing.

[frio109]

Mark Bastard Cuban and Brian Fucker Palma are donkey dick fuckers. They will get American's killed. It's Treason.

[MikeJP1948]

I truly respect Mr DePalma's right to make HIS movie and the right for people to go see it. Yet I also respect the audience's right not to attend his movie. This movie like a great deal of other films coming out of Hollywood will further alienate the vast majority of the country from the Hollywood elite.

Yet, they will complain about decreasing attendance and lack of vision by middle America. It is not so much a lack of vision but a whole different set up values that seem to be in play.

[PDC50]

Making propaganda films that aid and abet the enemy.This film will be seen by our enemies who will ,in turn, use it for their propaganda to fake the world out that we are all rapists etc...and thereby recruit new Islamic-killers. That's treason.

[trexx32]

Then what do you say to the troops that did it

[svenidol]

You say tot he troops who did it -"You are going to rot in jail for the rest of your lives." Already done. Case closed. But to provide Jihadists with a wonderful Technicolor, big screen, Hollywood glitter propaganda tool that implies that US soldiers are doing this all the time, all over the Middle East and the world is reckless at best, and dangerous to our troops.

[trexx32]

Just jail for murder of a family and rape of a 14 year old

[svenidol]

I have no problem putting the guilty parties in front of a firing squad. Publically. In the town square where this happened. But at least they aren't walking the streets like some 100,000 sexual predators in America.

[Sloopydrew]

You obviously haven't watched the movie. It isn't "Hollywood glitter propaganda" and definitely does not imply that U.S. soldiers are doing this "all the time." I was surprised at how good this movie was and how it shows both sides being both good and bad.

[svenidol]

Honestly , I don't give a rat's ass about the "whole movie." What I am concerned about is horrific footage of US soldiers rapoing and killing beinf shown on Al Jazeara or in Al Queada recruitment videos. With thousands of stories in Iraq to choose from, BD chose perhaps the singular most horrific one to advance his personal political agenda. And Americans WILL die because of it.

[brackster]

This story was all over the news. Why are you blaming BD?

[PDC50]

They are in prison where they belong.They do NOR represent the rest of the military.But,De Palma's film makes it look like these creeps are what the whole military are about.That's a lie.That's treason.FDR would have had him busted for treason.We should too.

[Sloopydrew]

You're just quoting O'Reilly -- who, like you, hasn't seen the movie. FDR would not have "busted" De Palma for "treason" (the real FDR, not the one in the crazy bizarro world that exists only inside O'Reilly's head), as De Palma has done absolutely nothing treasonous by writing and directing this movie.

[ThatNumber3]

Only idiots would perceive this film as an attack on the whole military, and that's most americans unfortunately.

Educate yourselves america!

[mxzoipes]

that troops like them are very few and far between

[PDC50]

De Parma should be arrested for TREASON!!He knows his obsession with rape is HIS problem and how HE sees America! FUCK HIM!!

[theseeman]

How would you be defineing treason?

[ThatNumber3]

I highly doubt he knows the definition. He IS from america after all, land of idiots...

[ThatNumber3]

THANK YOU Mr. De Palma for making this movie, it's about damn time these atrocities hit the mainstream.

Anybody who has something negative to say about this movie obviously condones atrocities such as the one that happened in Mahmudiya.

[airskank]

what about the 10 or so shootings that will take place in baltimore tonight? why didnt he make a movie on it? cause it doesnt sell and or stir up emotions thats why. gimme a break
