[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anti-America movie playing in Turkey

Big suprise, right?

I thought this was funny, though.

Sam William Marshall, played by Billy Zane, is portrayed as a sociopath, killing people without a second thought and claiming that he is doing God's will, a thinly veiled reference to statements by President George W. Bush about America's "crusade" for democracy in Iraq and the Middle East.

Zane said he was not bothered by the movie's anti-American tone, adding that the horrors of war should be exposed. "I acted in this movie because I'm a pacifist," he said in a televised interview. "I'm against all kinds of war."

I am a pacifist, so I play characters that kill people! Yeah, me! I'm such a good actor. I guess I could make an exception if my character kills Americans, because they are bad.
The movie also stars Gary Busey. Well, he's just insane, so I don't really care one way or another.

lol

Didn't see that one, either!

I guess this is more of a Rambo type movie. Some guy rises up and kills all the evil occupiers. Sounds great.
