Very disappointing...

Such a frustrating disappointment

Memorable, crazy movie

Excellent but underrated film

War, war, what is it good for... Sing it again. Yeah.Oh, boy.I have a nagging doubt that the Left doesn't really grasp the concept of war at all, or how it relates to humankind, politics, psychology, and just about everything else. The Left has an almost embarrassing way of over-simplifying every single complex issue (while over-complicating the very simple, straight-forward ones), and this they display in abundant quantities in this goofy attempt at a "documentary".But it's interesting that as anti-war as they (allegedly) are, they would never complain if Hugo Chavez or any other Left-wing idol of theirs started a war. War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!... Except if it's a conflict initiated by Marxist rebels. Then it's a "good war". This is when killing becomes "necessary" and "acceptable".War! What is it good for? Absolutely everything - like killing Imperialist Capitalist Western swine! Sing it again... Yeah.On a serious note, with a title like this, the Left have once again prevented one of their numerous propaganda films from reaching those whom they wish to convert. As it is, the only people who saw this film were the already converted (i.e. brainwashed). As far as I know, propaganda films are not judged by how they were made - but by how many people of differing views they can reach.Nice try, but no cigar - yet again.To get my extensive "Left-Wing Propaganda in Cinema" list (+comments), email me.

This move in my opinion is one of the most important movies of the year and for that matter the last 5 decades. The underling problem with the ideology of the leaders in this country is what this film hits right on the head. This film is not talking about victory or loss it's a move about brain washing an entire country for political and financial gain. Unfortunately as long as people take this sort of; Oh well that's just the way it is; kind of attitude and ;Oh were just oblivious and we let our government make decisions for us; the people who made this country are the ones truly being dismissed. "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. Thomas Jefferson"

I'm getting very tired of the Hollywood crowd trying to force opinion on the Iraq war. Everyone agrees war is bad but this movie is just a joke when it claims the USA's government only wants never-ending war since 1945 with no reason.This film conveniently skips over just and victorious combat like the "Operation Desert Storm" war when the USA liberated Kuwait from Saddam. It also ignores how Saddam continued to violate ceasefire agreements he had signed up until the day his control of Iraq was taken from him. That doesn't further the argument so let's go back to the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" thing. The war in Afghanistan isn't even mentioned once.. perhaps because the USA was victorious there too and we can't have that.I think the thing that bothered me most about this bit of bleeding heart liberal propaganda, complete with crying babies, was that they never bother to tell you why the USA is always promoting war as they put it. Are we to assume that the USA and it's government since WW2 is inherently evil? Do they start wars for fun? Come on, throw me a bone here.I've already given this movie more consideration than they gave their audience. I gave it a rating of "1". I would've given it at least a "5" if they attempted to give a possible reason the USA promotes war other than that's what they always do.Not recommended for educated people.

I am a very critical thinker and have prided myself on not being taken in the propaganda of our business (greed) interested media. After seeing this movie at an University of Oregon symposium I am shaking my head at how easy it is to manipulate the mass population, whether it is by the right or the left, and whether they are on guard. I never connected the dots before on how easy it is to sell war and just how gullible we all are.This movie should be shown in every critical thinking class at both the high school and college level. It is a wake up call for all of us to protect ourselves from the subtle, effective media propaganda that influences us in just about all our decisions. Although this movies is critical of our current president and his politics, it doesn't treat kindly those who preceded him in the office of the presidency. The way things stand today the choice between Democrat or Republican is simply what ever we have been told it is and doesn't equate to the reality of politics where money rules. I probably have talked to most of my friends about this movie more than any other movie this year. I can guarantee you more than one epipthany.
