I just watched this tonight. I thought it was very interesting, and reminds me of how some of you feel about the arabs now.
Has anyone else seen it, what did you think of it?

The most shocking and original scene is when the hero (Edward Norton) forces a black guy to bite the pavement and then he kicks his head from the back...ouch!
Very nice movie, not for the killings but for the messages that gives !

Yeah that scene with trottoar and the open mouth was very shocking. That must hurt so bad. Also remember not to drop the soap in a public shower!

Nope... It's a History about racism in US today...

I never felt & would never feel this way toward black or yellow or red or whatever color as long as they don't explode themselves in crowd of innocent people.
The movie is definately awesome.Nice acting from Edward Norton.

I would say Nice acting from everyone in the movie.
About Hitman: Movie (2007)
Vin Diesel is a hardcore gamer, and absolutely loves the Hitman series. For that reason I have faith that he wont destroy the movie.
Response: Well, Uwe Boll probably loved the Alone in the Dark games.

I don't know whether you've realised it or not, but (A) racists actually substantiate their fear and hatred with what seems like legitimate reasons and having watched the movie you'll know this, (B) your painting a whole race of people with the same brush, ignoring the fact that the palestinians have been an oppressed people for some time now, that they have no future and are retaliating in the only way they know how against an occupier with funding & politically backing from one of the most powerful countries in the world. I have no doubt if the Americans decided to send a little of that money to the palestinian authority it would stablise to a degree and they would fight in the same way as the israelis instead of reverting to martydom which has becomes something as de-facto standard whilst also possible to tie in with religiousbess,
I thought the movie was quite good, my only problem was the way in which Edward Nortons character had to be simplified into a more appeasing hollywood version so that everyone can sympathise instantly rather than understand naturally.
But other than that, yeah, great film.

WooooooW! Hang on a sec! I think you got no idea what they are talking about  I lived in Israel for 8 years, i know those terrorists. Israeli government said, you want ur own government etc? and they are like, NO we want to fight for it!
They will blow themselves up untill every single one of them is dead (aka never). Same thing now happens in Russia.
They will never fight the same was as the israelis. Even if they would have tanks, or bombs etc... they would still blow up innocent people. Those are animals, you cant really make a peace with animals.
I suggest to bomb the palestine and everyone will be happy.

Careful, they might draw up links that connect you with any recent and future act of terrorism 
I'm not going to bother responding to the rest of your post, best left for world headlines forum. |

New trend I guess...
But the movie has to be in everyone of your collections... Its very nice and brings a good message...
Especially when it comes to painting a 'kind' of people with the same brush...
