I didn't know the onus was on war movies to convey morals

2018-07-04 01:05:21 UTC  

Personally

2018-07-04 01:05:25 UTC  

now, this is just me

2018-07-04 01:05:38 UTC  

I'd prefer to portray the things that happened

2018-07-04 01:05:55 UTC  

Band of Brothers was showing the reality that both sides did some horrible things. Not the same as portraying it as good or bad

2018-07-04 01:06:13 UTC  

Saving Private Ryan portrayed the Germans as evil?

2018-07-04 01:06:27 UTC  

It protrayed both sides as not being totally innocent.

2018-07-04 01:06:50 UTC  

Can confirm, Saw that element throughout the movie last night

2018-07-04 01:06:55 UTC  
2018-07-04 01:07:09 UTC  

p sure it portrayed people acting to preserve themselves

2018-07-04 01:07:13 UTC  

I actually like much of what Spielberg does.

2018-07-04 01:07:24 UTC  

Not exactly. It showed Americans as being morally right in allowing someone to suffer torture, to shoot an unarmed soldier who surrendered, and that the "better" solution to a prisoner dilemma is just to kill the prisoner

2018-07-04 01:07:32 UTC  

He also gave a ton of money for the D-Day War Memorial in Bedford, Virginia.

2018-07-04 01:07:43 UTC  

Oh I like a lot of his work, just not that particular movie

2018-07-04 01:07:47 UTC  

Everyone has their opinions I suppose

2018-07-04 01:08:00 UTC  

But I will agree that, opinions aside, the movie was well done

2018-07-04 01:08:00 UTC  

Except the film doesn't treat it as a "better" decision.

2018-07-04 01:08:15 UTC  

Well that's the feeling I got from it.

2018-07-04 01:08:17 UTC  

Some of the people try to justify the choice, but it is fundamentally morally ambiguous.

2018-07-04 01:08:40 UTC  

Just had my first encounter with a SJW

2018-07-04 01:08:48 UTC  

Madness

2018-07-04 01:08:48 UTC  

I have them all the time.

2018-07-04 01:09:00 UTC  

First time really? Tell us

2018-07-04 01:09:10 UTC  

He was a Indian Brit

2018-07-04 01:09:15 UTC  

*an

2018-07-04 01:09:53 UTC  

He was talking about environmental racism

2018-07-04 01:10:00 UTC  

That name alone

2018-07-04 01:10:06 UTC  

Indigenous savages who were civilized by a colonial power should be the most conservative and realistic people ever.

2018-07-04 01:10:11 UTC  

Lead with laughing

2018-07-04 01:10:18 UTC  

The environment is racist!

2018-07-04 01:10:27 UTC  

That's how you start interactions with the SJWs

2018-07-04 01:11:25 UTC  

It was about how minoritys are always getting less resources in history and cited flint water crisis as racism

2018-07-04 01:11:40 UTC  

I had a face-to-face debate with a couple of Socialists once.

2018-07-04 01:11:46 UTC  

It was fun.

2018-07-04 01:12:18 UTC  

They weren't being shorted resources in the colonial era

2018-07-04 01:12:19 UTC  

I disagreed

2018-07-04 01:12:28 UTC  

I know

2018-07-04 01:13:17 UTC  

I'm totally against racism. I see colonialism as the least racist thing ever. It's statistical fact that African average IQ is like 70. That's borderline retard.

2018-07-04 01:13:36 UTC  

Anyone with a head knows that that lead pipe shit in flint is all their fault

2018-07-04 01:13:42 UTC  

And there's smart people from Africa. So for every 110, there must also be a 30

2018-07-04 01:14:24 UTC  

If all humanity is one human race, we are all brothers etc...if your brother was a slobbering retard with a helmet, would you let him live alone?
