The USSR was such a cool enemy. Sigh.

:cool:

But you only see it that way because you see it from your point of view.

+1. And awesome accents, too. Not to mention the Hind. :yep:

Hollywood: critical and unconform: as long as the financial interests are met...:nope: It's a (stupid) movie, nothing more. People are way too appeasing against China. Smells like self-censorship.

In the next US Civil War movie they substitute the fractions through North and South Korea, so the Americans are not po'd.

And in the next WW2 movie they change the Germans to Iraqis - hey Germany's a big film market, too...

What the war movie industry needs is a generic bad guy nation. Sort of like they use the 555 exchange when the plot calls for a character to read a telephone number. :DL

Nobody thought of Mexico?

nevermind:dead:

One thing i figured out when i was still wearing a uniform.....Nobody goes to war thinking their the bad guy.

For awhile, i found myself questioning what was good, and what was bad. It's a question of standards, who's do you use? Theirs? ours? What makes their's any more righteous then our own, and who makes that determination? In the end, i answered this delimna for myself. I figure, my country tis of thee, for better, for worse, it's still mine. Right or wrong, its home, and that's enough.

Still though, nobody goes to war thinking their the bad guy.

Watch out! I come and get you! Take your country for glorious leader.

You'd like to think that if they thought they were the bad guy, they'd give up. The soldiers at least, probably not the leaders.

We were at war with Eurasia. Now we're at war with Eastasia. :sunny:

Sailor Steve, you've just won a one week all-expenses paid vacation at the Ministry of Love. Report to Room 101.

Don't mind the rats. :D

LOL. Reality control will soon be restored.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

1984 was one movie which lived up to the book that preceded it.

I agree. I was also a fan of this one.

I also recall liking this version at the time, though it may not have aged well.

And I've never heard of this 1953 US version:

Or this 1954 British version:
