I didn't even see the word "another" in Harle's post. A few posts up I said I saw the movie on bootleg. You are so stuck on trying to get a "gotcha" moment on me, that you now follow me around. Leave me the fuck alone or get reported. You need to just chill...When you make blanket statements about racism that hold little or no weight, I feel compelled to call bullshit. This movie doesn't even have Arabs in it, and as mentioned above, is not even produced in Hollywood. Therefore your statements had little, if no, merit to them. I'm sorry if you feel picked on, but if you're going to put something out there in a public forum, then you need to be somewhat accurate. Do you not try to call me out when you think I'm wrong? If you feel like you've been wronged, then by all means, report me. [Edited 2/4/09 20:46pm] | |

Amaxx said: jockeyb4u said: What? I just watched this movie and didn't see one Arab in it. They were actually Albanians! And this kind of thing is rife in Europe, with Albanians being behind most of it! The movie uses actual happenings as it's premise. Another point! The film hasn't come out of Hollywood per se. Luc Beson directed it & a French prodution company was behind it! The Prince and the older Prince are depicted as Arabs not Albanians. The WHOLE Western media is trying to lynch the Arabs image-wise, Hollywood ain't the only guilty party. | |

jockeyb4u said: shanti0608 said: The fight scenes were very far fetched if you ask me. Everyone that shot at him had horrible aim. Yeah, thats my problem with most of these,one man vs the world movies. That plus, they kept trying to drill in the fact that his daughter was innocent. But other than that, the movie was very watchable. [Edited 2/4/09 18:42pm] 
So that was 'innocent' behavior I witnessed? I won't go into what may be spoilers but come on . . , I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

It's the Albanians that are supplying their whims, lusts, whatever. Whole Western media? I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Which makes them part of the "villan" category by sheer accident, right?  Sorry, it screams "Same script, different bullshit ass movie" slogan to me.
Whole Western media?
Actually thats an understatement,,,,since some Arab media outlets cater to the same tactics as Western media when it comes to the portrayal of Arabs. [Edited 2/4/09 23:58pm] | |
