8.5/10 was kind of disapointed at the beginning cause i thought it was an action flick...but the end of the movie was worth the wait. Jennifer Garner put up one hell of a fight against the big Saudian. |
I thought the start was incredible horrifying but it just became another pro american drama flick with lame points of understandings between two cultures :/

House of Sand and Fog - 8/10
Started of slow, but liked how it ended
History of Violence - 8,5/10
The Kingdom - 5/10
Tries to show both perspectives of middle eastern terrorism. Yet it fails
American machoism and egocentrism

no american will ever be able to make a balanced war movie 
...unless the war happened to not involve america, but pff... like thats ever gonna happen... tell america there might be a conflict anywhere, and youll hear 'WARRR!! WEEEeee!!!!!'.. its like telling a 5 year old that theres free icecream...

private ryan wasnt balanced, but it was a rubbish film. if spielbergs name wasnt on the cover, and hanks name wasnt on the cast list, the movie would never have gotten the acclaim it did.
and no, america can not make a balanced war film. its always americans = great heros that never do any wrong, other side = pure evil... i mean i get it, you cant sell a movie to the americans where the americans arent the pure light and goodness fighting evil demons, so i understand why it is the way that it is, but one should never expect to take american made war films seriously or expect them to be anything other than biased...

Saving Private Ryan was a good film, regardless of it's American bias. I get the impression you just don't rate Spielberg and thats why you deride it.
Still, it's fashionable to hate what the majority love, hows that working out for you?

you cant really expect a culture (american for example) to make a movie that derives totally from what they believe in (valors, norms), because it wouldnt appeal to the viewers much and they wouldnt be attracted to the characters or the goals represented by the story. So personnaly i'm not expecting big budget film to NOT be biased, hell! even documentaries trying to be objective for academic purpose often fails to that.

actually i quite enjoy spielbergs earlier stuff, and thought minority report wasnt bad, but saving private ryan was dull and seriously nothing special.. its a film that floated purely on the cast list and the directors name, not because it was a well written interesting story.
and i didnt dislike spr because of bias, i dont even SEE american bias in their war films anymore because its something i just automatically accept and ignore now - hell, i even thoroughly enjoyed the opening beach sequence, that was great, but everything after was pretty average. |

The opening scene was fantastic. One of the classics I will always remember. But, I can't remember the rest of the film...only the ending battle scene and that they found Ryan. Sums up this 2.5+ hour film. Still epic but mainly because of the opening invasion scene.

well thats pretty much what i said. awesomely fun and cool opening beach sequence, followed by a very VERY blah and average film that mostly got such high ratings because of the 'names' involved in production.

Has someone ever seen "The Visitation" ?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435770/
Is it worth to see ?
