Horrible feminist drivel

More likely different perspective and views. Like what you had now. Anyway, interesting movie, recommended for people that are open minded.

And yet, a professional gentleman of the armed forces, wrote into BBC radio 5, and said that what was depicted , in regards to the decision making, was pretty accurate .

Either you're a troll, or there are people out there that are this retarded.

Atleast the last line he'll be remembered for is "Shut up you fat stupid biscuit eating trout"

NOTE: this reply has more than a little sarcasm in it.

So, you noticed the missing loading mechanism in the .50 cal machine gun, but you missed the point of the movie?

The girl got killed because she was greedy!



She had been paid for all the bread, but did not go home with the money!

Instead, she picked the bread out of the dirt, put the dirty bread on her clean table cloth, and went about reselling the dirty bread!
One might even claim she had stolen the bread!

If you paid attention, the beetle operator had paid her for the bread, just before he ran from the soldiers, and dropped the bucket of bread, spilling all of it into the dirt. The guy dropped the bread, and the soldiers were shooting at him, but did that mean the bread was hers then? How could she claim his bucket too?


There is the lesson of the movie... do not be greedy!

After all, she could have folder up her table cloth, and left the dirty bread either in the street, or put it on the empty table, with the bucket, and gone home.



Remember, I warned *you* there was sarcasm here.

I think some of the men were just as much spineless babies as the women. The only one that seemed to make sense was the American Secretary of State and Helen of course. I thought even Rickman's character should have been a bit more forceful. I think they wanted to make the Americans out to be the warhawks. I also think most people's perspective depends on where they are from. My point of view as an American might be different than most Europeans on this.

King-Of-DK? From your post, I take it that it means King of Dick. No doubt it refers to your being both such a masterful dickhead, and that you (and your opinion) suck.

Yes, clearly it takes more than half a brain to see value in this film.



Ignorance is bliss... 'til it posts on the Internet, then, it's annoying.

ok -I'll play along:

In this movie there was a good representation of all types - men AND women.

Both genders had representations as:
-decisive (US politicians, UK military)
-analytical (US military: ID in Hawai)
-cry babies (US military: drone operators)
-spineless (UK politicians)

The idea you put forth that women have no place in war as they make decisions with their emotions shows a fundamental misunderstanding of why women should not be in COMBAT (not war, combat...without the female admin, logistics, engineering, intelligence, pilots, medical and other military professionals you'd have massibe gaps in your military forces and skillset, and no combat could take place: there aren't enough men wanting to join up, you'd end up havng to go to a draft of non professional soldiers instead of having highly trained proficient female professional military personnel) It has been proven many times in a variety of studies starting with the IDF that MEN are the ones who get over-emotional when they are in combat with women. They are the ones who loose track of the mission and get all emo trying to protect the women as if they were an endangered species... the women fare just fine...but THAT is why women should not be in combat because by and large men can't handle it and it endangers the mission and the lives of the whole unit.


Now what to me was much more interesting in this movie was this notion of warfare led by committee: can warfare be legislated, what are the ethics of war, can/should only one side be ethical, what is the place of civilian (ie political) decision making in warfare, what kind of autonomy should the military have, does the military work for the people it represents, for the government, for the commander in chief/PM, for the generals? Now all of these questions ARE very interesting..especially with this new kind of war we are currently experiencing where everything needs to be redefined as there are no clearly defined war fronts...everyone and anyone in certain regions can be enemy or foe...and in the west the enemy is blended into minorities...ALL OF THAT is what this movie made me think of...not anything about feminism...!
