Frickin' propaganda

Rating: 3/10 (27 February 2005)

Dear lord. When will Americans learn not to glorify their country so much in their films. It really is becoming annoying. "We Were Soldiers" "The last Samurai" and "The Patriot". Isn't one heroic victory enough. Why not just make a great Japanese film like "Zatoichi". Or can you not understand their language? Or are you racist?
Well, sure. I watched this, and thought it was good. Good battle scenes. Epic storyline. Very enjoyable. But look at the message. All this film does is try and show how horrible the English were. They may have done some pretty terrible things. But this is just not justified. The most cringe-worthingly annoying scene is in which the climatic battle has all of the epic music playing in the background, whilst Gibson slays all of the "Filthy" English. Bloody propaganda. Which leaves me to my conclusion.
