Pop Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 boring....another empty movie about courage, honor and sacrifice from an American perspective.....sick of those lousy movies.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would love to see a WW2 themed movie from a japanese or german perspective <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but if it isn't, Clint Eastwood's about to release a WW2 movie told from the Japanese perspective. If that was your post was nodding towards, then... whatever. The thing about war movies post-Saving Private Ryan (or war itself post-Vietnam) is that "the glory of war" theme has become rather quaint. That's why it's relegated to these schlocky action movies.

Rosbjerg Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) there isn't a mainstream pro-nazi or facist film .. I believe this is what he wants to see.. forgetting though, that these point of views are no longer German or Japanese.. Germany would never endorse films that glorified that part of their past and neither would Japan I believe.. -- and I liked the dark style of the film .. but not having read (or heard about) the cartoon I thought the Persians were alittle over the top .. they seemed more like semi-monters than anything..

Calax Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Recently? Recently? Batman: Year One came out in 1986/87, which was before you were even born! Further, it was a reboot of the Batman mythos following Crisis on Infinite Earths and was in the same vein as Man of Steel. Holy Terror has Bats going after Al Qaeda agents, not bin Laden. Miller's stressed that point several times. DK:SA was crap, I'll agree with that. There isn't a bloody thing wrong with being a patriot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Note: If your going to try and insult me, get your facts strait genius. Yes it was a reboot but it was a horrible reboot. You don't have a high class jewel theif turning tricks for 20 bucks on the street because you want to be grungy. As for holy Terror, you don't send a fake character after a real thing for the same reason you don't send superman in to capture hitler. It wouldn't work because it'd feel all wrong. And no, theres nothing wrong with being a patriot... just somthing wrong when you think that batman is to be your vehicle for patriotism. Batman is the antithesis of everything the law stands for. If you want to be patriotic, be nice to Superman fer christs sakes. yes... I do like posting willy nilly with minimal checking of facts... it's fun and often gets more of a response than posting correctly Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Admittedly he's an earth bound GOD who's used by the government, but usually miller treats Superman like the worlds best punching bag and makes Superman into the bad guy.

alanschu Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 So is your criticism of Batman in a role that other superheroes have been in (helping the military) more because you don't like Frank Miller, or because you actually didn't like the role? For what it's worth, I think Superman helping the military in WW2 was stupid, because it just leads me to think "hey, why didn't he just go get Hitler?"

Nartwak Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I can't really say I enjoy Frank Miller either, though in my case it has more to do with what I percieve to be his artistic limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
