One of the best movies by Nicholas Cage this year, just got home from the theatre.
I read a couple of reviews which say that the topic is mostly irrelevant to movie goers, I just say, Piff... just the American way of choosing to ignore the sensitivity and reality of the subject. The last words of Nicholas Cage in the movie is the highlight of government participation in illegal arms dealing, it's not surprising for people around the world other than their own. Of course the American people see themselves as the world's most compassionate people. They consider themselves as the wor'd greatest police, but they forget that they're one of the 5 largest arms dealer in the world, and one of the most powerful countries in the UN council, "an epitome itself". A highly political-drama, a reality not new to the common intellectual Filipino.
Movies like this are highly criticized by critics here in America, saying, it's just another attempt of Hollywood liberals to portray intellegence. That's what's very frustrating here, movies like this one, are often ignored or accused being unconvincing, fictionalized, and flawed.
But for me, however the American people insists on these topics as fiction and unreal, they don't really see the real picture from where they are. But for countrymen like us, this movie's topic, is not new to us.
In denial man ning mga common Americans diri, ilaha gyud dayon nang atakehon ang writer sa movie, unbased daw ang accussations thus very fictional. There might be a couple of these Hollywood Liberals like Nichols who courageously portray their political views on film, pero gamay ra gyud ni sila diri. Mga Americans sobra ka ignorante, para nila santos na gyud kaayo sila, and these kinds of movies destroy their country's world rep**ation. Duh.. kebaw nami daan uy!
Writer/director Andrew Nichols "Lord of War"
