Selma - good partial biopic of Martin Luther King. Should get more recognition, but black heroes dont get adequate recognition in hollywood. Institutional racism is far more damaging than a few arseholes in Paris.

It got me thinking of another film made in the 90s -Panther. Brilliant drama/doc about the Black Panthers in the US. Again airbrushed out of history, but the direct action was arguably more effective than King. Can you get the dvd now ? Can you fuck- found one copy on Amazon for £28. Luckily kept my vhs copy :D

Just compare the (lack of) attention and recognition that Selma got to a movie promoting islamophobia like American Sniper.

Selma didn't even make it into theaters here.

True, I have no interest in American Sniper. No Selma in Lebanon ? Racists :D

That movie's more or less just a bad copy of Hurt Locker with more Murica patriotism and cliches.

Has the probably most anticlimactic and odd ending I've ever watched.
Not at all. It's an amazing film about an American Hero. The ending was odd though.

Yeah, nothing spells hero more than a racist sniper invading a foreign country for all the wrong reasons and killing people [emoji38]

Racist is harsh. He was fighting for his country. He killed people who posed a threat to he and his fellow soldiers.

Calling an entire race "savages" is....well, racist. Regardless of what he believed in, every fighter in the world fights for causes they believe are honorable. ISIS fighters fight for their "country" as well. Mindless violence, imperialism, breaking international laws, invading foreign countries for no legitimate reason...etc. should NOT be glorified.

Can't believe you just compared a soldier to ISIS.

Well ISIS fighters believe they are soldiers of the Islamic State as well. You really think there are many differences?! :lol:

Fine, forget ISIS. How about a Nazi soldier? A soviet union soldier? What's the actual difference between them and US soldiers?

US soldiers are not ordered to eliminate a entire group of people, they aren't trying to control the world.
