Some critical thoughts

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2015)

If Hollywood mirrors the development of US society, then there is a frightful thing brooding in the US. Battleship, the Expendables 1 through x and now this lone survivor show very much respect for the heroism and valor of persons whose primary occupation is killing other people without giving it too much of a thought. Why is a Talibanleader a bad guy when he kills 20 marines? What were those marines doing there in the first place. Following orders, just as these navy seals were just following orders. It's not OK in the US to criticize the poor guys following orders. You must 'support our troops'. This film shows a Triumph des Willens. And that is quite scary.
