Oliver Stone's movie about 9/11 came out today. Interestingly timed to be released during another peak of middle east violence, this movie was toned down to a PG-13 rating.
Despite the people falling from buildings to their deaths, the body parts of people shrewn around the sites and the horror of watching the event unfold, Stone unapologeticaly made this movie PG-13 most likely so kids could go see it.
Why is Hollywood so scared to show the truth about what happened on 9/11?
Why is it there hasn't been a REAL movie about the Gulf War.
A Rated R-movie with piles of bodies, Insurgents blowing up things with I.E.D.'s and news footage of Bush showing America how he is micromanaging the war.
Why can't I get a decent Gulf War movie similar to BLACK HAWK DOWN or APOCOLYPSE NOW.
Jarhead SUCKED.
Annapolis SUCKED
I need a comprehensive R-rated movie about the War in Iraq. At least of events up until Saddam's Capture.
How about Hezbollah vs. Israel the movie?

Yeah, you know - news footage in Europe shows everything. Nothing is hidden. Here, things are sterile. everything is protected.
That is not the real world and it is the same way in the movies people are trying to make. (With the exception of United 93...I thought that was very well done.)
If one is going to make a movie on a real event, one should show it as it really happened, not cover up the ugly stuff to keep us from the reality of it all.
It's life and it's death and it's horrible and sad sometimes but no one will ever truly understand it (for lack of a better word) unless we see it for how it really was.
Anything real is always "controversial".
If I could make movies, you bet your *** I'd have a realistic one out right now and I don't CARE how much controversy it gets.
Controversy brings attention and attention gets you noticed.
Thus, the point would be made.
Well done.

You miss the point of writing a war movie which is that the outcome has been decided. Current battles have no place in fiction. As for the 9/11 stuff, that was a bad idea. it will heal nothing and may reopen sore wounds.

You know why.......cause "America isn't ready." Thats what they always say, we are not ready.The same reason they don't show dead American troops on the news, cuz too many people would piss and moan about it cuz we as Americans are ****** soft.We can show dead enemies, but not our boys all ****** up.They don't want the true horrors of what war is to change opinions.I don't know about the rest, but I've been ready since we got attacked on our own soil. Maybe others will be ready when we get attacked again and they make 3 more G rated movies about it......

i think 3 kings was a gulf war movie... n i thought that movie was an ok movie... not great... and black hawk down wasnt gulf war... that was in africa... and apocalypse now was vietnam
and the 9/11 movies... i think they mostly all suck because we already know everything abot 9/11 and we dont like the images that they are putting in movies because they are dumbing it down for the slower people...

i'd actually prefer no movie on Hezbollah vs. Israel an American filmmaker would turn it into another Islamic hate fest and make Israel look "right"
