American PROPAGANDA This is not a movie! This is the new marketing strategy of the American army to get stupid people to join.
Apparently Clint Eastwood was hired by the army to create a 2 hours advertisement on how "honorable" it is to be part of the oil wars. This a very political movie, trying to justify why America waged a war over more than one country because of the alleged action of very small group of extremest residing in these countries.
No surprise that the movie had little success on the foreign market. This movie is offensive and is depicting only what is favorable for the Americans in an exaggerating way and missing the reality of the war. For convenience all the kids and women killed in the war, were extremest, endangering the lives of the "innocent" solders, while in reality a lot of innocent kids and women who had nothing to do with any extremest were killed. Somehow the torture prisons were also left out and the "interrogation" practices.
In the end the movie is trying to be dramatic, showing the psychological consequences of protecting "innocent" solder and "justifyingly" killing kids and women. The reality, however, is a bit different. The psychological effects on solders were because they were killing innocent people for the greediness of other who were enjoying themselves in luxury in the mean time.
I find this movie disgusting. The fact that it has been nominated for 6 Oscars, shows how objective the Academy Awards are. If you are low intelligent American, you would probably like it. If you are an intelligent American, you will be ashamed of this propaganda. I don't think I have to say what the rest of the world think about the movie.
