All fiction is made up.
Yes, but bad fiction is always bad. Those were particularly so.
Not all fiction is cookie-cutter from one event clearly to the next. The two films in question were Modernist and open ended. There’s nothing wrong with that.
1. Lord of The Rings 3
2. 300
3. Flags of Our Fathers
4. Letters From Iwo Jima
5. Walk The Line
If “Band of Brothers” counts it would be no. 1
Wonderful attitudes to display don't you think? Personally I'll laud edgy and films from time to time, these two were just gross.

Burp.
NCFOM was a pretty faithful adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel. He’s not known for his boundless optimism and cheer. ‘Blood Meridian’ has been called the most violent novel in American literary history. (That film is coming soon.) I found TWBB pretty hypnotic. It was filled with great sequences.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Each to his own. It’s not hard to find examples of human depravity, I don’t need to watch a Hollywood director ratchet up their version of what’s horrid to understand depravity exists.
NCFOM didn’t even have all that much onscreen violence. It was probably less violent than the novel.
Passion of Christ
Inglorious Bastards
Taken
12 year old boys are a different breed today when it comes to media exposure. When it comes to a movie like Apocalypto, he watches with me, and honestly, I'd rather he see a film with some historical content rather than mindless fictitious violence.
My dad took see to see Patton when I was seven in 1970. Same idea.
There will be blood, a movie about a complete a hole of a murdering, no-personal ties, sociopath, with homicidal tendencies. A true picture of the barons of business, made to tee off the public about the eeeeeeeeeevil of oil. A true propaganda piece.
My husband cried at the end of “United 93;” the only movie he’s ever cried during—and I’ve known him for 26 years.
I sat frozen to my seat for about 10 minutes, speechless. Then I got up, went into my home office and cried.
I’ve never had anything close to that reaction to any film in my life. I’m getting chills just thinking about it.
CASINO ROYALE!!
thats because real Americans will never forget what the moslems did to us nor will they forgive.
