I never saw so many creative people trashing other creatives than in this thread. I don't think Tarantino does drugs any more. Personally I thought Hurt Locker shouldn't win anything because it capitalized on the suffering of our soldiers. Ask them how much of the money it made went to our soldiers and to the innocent lives lost in our government's rush to secure rich! crude! oil. Before you start judging other creatives take a step back and look at your own work.

My Film? Here is the film I thought should have won last year.
- This video contains content from National Film Board of Canada, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.brandelec
- its a beautiful film and after seeing how they created the film it should have won.74LEO
- why was it blocked? i would be upset seeing the hours they put into it, but everyone needs to see this film.74LEO
- I saw it last year, it was decent. I actually have an archive of most of the NFB's short or animated films...ismith
- I don't think it should have won though.ismith

I'm with LEO74 here, way to trash other creative people. If I made a movie, I'd be jumping up and down to win an oscar!
I guess I could jump on the hate bus to be popular, but damn, what a sad way to spend your time, trashing other people who spend their life being creative with their time.

- i have no prob w/awards... it's just the constant dick-sucking that goes on in the speeches - usually THEIR OWN dicks too.PonyBoy
- like any of us would do much different? "I'd like to thank no one but me" :Pjfletcher
- You missed the concept of an award. It's for awarding the WINNERS and ignoring the LOSERS. Someone has to judge.monospaced

90% of military movies, work as advertising for the military.
Film crews often include military advisors that have to approve everything, from clothes to the actor's movements.So when you say "I'm sick of military moves making money off of our soldiers." you are not looking at the bigger picture.
From the Kid Rock song leading the movie at the theaters
to the high speed beauty shots of brave soldiers killing the bad guy synched to emotional/ empowering/ moving music.
You see.. inside the film there is tons of subliminal advertising...
From Marty mc Fly
to transfromers
Now I haven't seen the movie you talk about, but even if it portrays the military on a bad light, that's 1 movie out of a hundred.
The soldiers might not get a dime, but you can be sure the military gets thousands of new recruits every month just because of movies.

Funny that you guys are here saying we shouldn't critique the films since we can't create anything better. Ironically, the entire Academy does exactly this. They rate them in a committee, with opinions no more valid than ours, and give out awards to the best. Settle down now.

I'm just saying when a military movie is made how much of the profit goes to the families who have lost loved ones in foreign wars, amputees, mental anguish. Yeah I know recruiting centers have Hummers parked outside them. Your tax dollars at work. We all know how safe those Hummers were. I just feel there are better ways to bring the truth about war to the public and it shouldn't be by creating war movies. This is just my opinion coming from a person who doesn't watch war movies.
eol.
- total complete absolute bullshit.zenmasterfoo
- you sound like a soldiermonospaced
- military movies are propaganda not about bring the truth home. Its like you just figured out it sucks or something. Share profit? wateieio
- wow and you call yourself a zen master.74LEO
- ah my little grasshopper....judge not lest you be judged.zenmasterfoo
- the money goes right back to more recruits and weapons, welcome to the war business...Meeklo

the profit that goes to the families who have lost loved ones in foreign wars, is the same that goes to the families that have lost innocent people that were not wearing uniform and did not signed up to be part of any war in the very first place.This is my opinion, coming from a pacifist person.
- your saying that those people do get $$$ from the profit of war films?74LEO
- huh? not at all..
you say your worried about soldier families not getting money, I pointed out thatMeeklo - families of innocent civilians don't get money either, despite the fact that you don't seem to worry about themMeeklo
- i know its a double edged sword74LEO
- ThePublics0
so essentially, don't make any form of art or media pertaining to war unless the profits go to the soldiers??? are you fucking insane?
- not all but some. not insane.74LEO
- 74LEO = official jarheadmonospaced
- do you know how they got that name?74LEO
- I honestly couldn't give a shitmonospaced
- thats the point you just don't care.74LEO

I just feel that if you are using our military/soldiers as a form of entertainment that you should gladly donate some profit to those who have died, lost limbs and also their mental well being.
Now if it is being used solely as propaganda then we have to make sure that our kids are education on the repercussions of going off on a "Crusade" for the M.I.C.
- your logic fails memonospaced
- still no mention of innocent civilians who (also humans) have lost lives...Meeklo
- and the innocent of course.74LEO
