Bruce Willis to Make Pro-American Movie About Iraq War
The National Ledger ^ | 11-27-05 | CK Rairden

Posted on 11/26/2005 11:26:00 PM PST by Coastal

Hollywood A-lister Bruce Willis is set to buck the Hollywood trend of running from the heroics of the American troops in Iraq and is set to make a pro-war film about the American soldier.

In the film, American soldiers will be accurately depicted as the brave fighters for freedom and democracy that they are, according to a report in the Sunday Times UK.

The patriotic actor recently put his money where his mouth is - offering up a million dollar bounty on the heads of Islamofascists Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

It's nice to have another actor I can support other than Mel. Bruce is definately one of the good guys.

I will predict the film is boycotted by antiwar folks, and there will be antiwar protesters screaming inside the theater while the movie is playing.

If so, then try to see the movie in a theatre next to a military base. That's how I was able to enjoy "Gunner Palace".

I am thinking the same. If he makes a decent film about the current GWOT, he will make a killing, and do the nation a service.

By this stage in WWII, how many movies had Hollwood already made, identifying the enemy, and uniting and focusing the nation?

Willis' movie will bring the current count to ONE.

I was predicting the exact same thing. Move over Mel Gibson, you have another great American coming to sit next to you.

Why not this one? Mel could be the director. He has already made a couple of war movies.

You have a good point, maybe some people can tell Bruce or sell Bruce the idea to have Mel Gibson to direct that movie.

Have any of you even been in the military to declare what is so "right"? There are good things and bad things going on in Iraq; both good soldiers and bad. Why are you so rabid for a single sided issue to pander to your needs? Why not both sides?

Exceptionally bad movie where Bruce plays a con man. I vaguely remember something about the Vatican and hang-gliding, what I remember clearly is wanting those 2 hours of my life back.

Both sides? Considering the media only really shows one side these days, I'm not sure why your so against showing the other side.

For every 50 Iraqi civilians you hear being killed by Islamic extremists, you don't see the 500 or 5000 Iraqis that have benefitted from what we've done there.
