Answer: Yes
(Queue the "has war ever really solved anything" memes...)
JE SUIS CHARLES MARTEL!
Funny how Jude Law didn’t face angry liberals for his portrayal of a sniper in ‘Enemy At The Gates’.. Selective indignation
It is not pro war. It portrays the horrors of war and the impact on those that fight them.
Only a real idiot is pro war. You avoid wars by being strong. It’s is appeasers like Neville Chamberlain, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama who get us into the really big wars.
Because killing a man a mile away with artillery fire is not being a coward?
It is not pro-war. We did not start the war. There is a very good reason we went to war and if that reason had no happened there would have not been a war.
It’s both. It portrays the horrible impact of war, but it also celebrates it’s righteousness. Christendom has been defending itself from Satan’s troops for almost 600 years. More Vlad, less Barack. More Clint!
Jude Law didn’t face criticism for “Enemy at the Gates” because it was a leftist/socialist/Communist fellow traveller army sniper who was defending the Soviet Union and the uber socialist way of life. The rules are always different for fringe lunatic liberals.
Too bad Moore’s dad didn’t die instead of his uncle, America would be smarter, and thinner.
I haven’t seen the movie yet but it doesn’t sound like it’s political at all, and if it’s not explicitly anti-war and anti-Bush that makes it “pro-war” as far as the d*ckheads are concerned. What a sorry bunch of worthless *hits. If anyone had any doubt that leftists don’t passionately loathe American soldiers, you can put that to bed.
Went to the sold out 450 seat IMAX 4PM showing today at Tysons Corner. I find
it hard to believe either one of those POSs actually watched it.
At the end of the movie, no one moved or got out of their seats till after the first
credits rolled and no one made a noise the entire time the movie let out. It was
as if you were leaving a funeral.
Good catch. The heroic Soviet snipers kill the evil Ed Harris, master instructor of the Berlin sniper school. Surge the swelling chords of "The Internationale", fade to red.
I'm making popcorn and looking forward to Sarah and her fish-filled boots (in libruls' political cartoons) kicking Rogen's round, cushy ass all over the place. -- Want some? (Popcorn, that is.)
Next up: Sarah and Michael Moore in a cage death-match. Got tix?
So what was Moore’s uncle getting ready to do when the sniper took him out? Set up an IED to blow up an American task force? Attack an American force with RPGs and machine guns? Chris Kyle was doing an over watch mission. His mission WAS NOT to just shoot people. If you read the book, you could say that he was actually an ANTI-sniper. His mission was to IMMEDIATELY remove any threat that was preparing to kill Americans soldiers and Marines. Hey fatso! Watch the movie or read the book before you open your big mouth! You shouldn’t bad mouth what you don’t understand or have any clue about.
The movie is pro Patriot.
To me it’s neither. It’s telling a story about a guy in war. Just like “Hell Is For Hero’s” or “Alvin York” or any other war story. Maybe “Patton” could be but still .... now a movie like “Yankee Doodle Dandy” starring James Cagney can be deemed patriotic. I don’t think Americans are pro-war. We’re brought into one like WW1 and WW2, we fight and then just want to go home back to a normal life. I feel that Germany could be used as an example of making films that were pro-war. IMHO

This thing asks a question but is there an email or something for us to give him an answer??
You kinda were. Good to see you again, FRiend.
Postscript: I liked the motorcycle escort and the (visible in one shot) Texas flag with the Gadsden rattlesnake on it. That was about the only "political" reference, but it was impossible to miss that Clint was pointing right at us. That's why liberals hate the film, and him, so much. Let them hate us... Oderint dum metuant, the Roman said.
War is Hell.
The Answer Remains what it was on September 12th, 2001.
I understood that then I was only 13.
“It is not pro war. It portrays the horrors of war and the impact on those that fight them.”
I think, as with many things, that the term “pro-war” is not specific enough. Clearly, there are times that war is the best alternative. That does not make it desirable, it is only necessary. That is what most define as “pro-war”.
The problem with many in this country is they refuse to admit the necessity.
Was the Iraq War “necessary”? That’s entirely arguable, but clearly our leaders at the time thought so. I personally believe there was sufficient justification. Do a search on “Iraq anthrax”....
