what should we start at? i mean there is no doubt that the best thing would be if they wouldn't make this movie in the first place. but cause we're nice, positive people we'll start with the good things about this movie: you can see demi wearing almost nothing. and now for the bad stuff.
You know, what's really tragic about this movie is that it could have been a great awful movie. It's the most formulatic movie I've seen in years, the story is as stupid as you'd expect, nobody in the entire crew thought of opening an atlas and realizing that Lybia doesn't have a southern shore to the Meditarrenean sea, and the camerawork is the most ridiculous one I've seen in a main-feature movie. No doubt about it - this is one movie that could have climbed very high in the Worst movies chart, especially this year, when we're starving for really bad movies.
But.
it could, if it wasn't racist. and we don't give them even the respect of being the worst movie ever. the message of this movie is if you are a guy it's the best there is. if not, and you happen to be a women we can forgive you if will try hard enough, but if you're gay! god will forgive you (and not even her if they had anything to do with it)
Well, I always knew homophobic and racist people exist, and that some of them even make movies. So if I hear about a movie preaching for White Power, I simply won't go to see it. A racist movie that pretends to be preaching Equality, of being feminist, is much worse. You all know the story: Demi (a woman) joins a group of marines (men), just to show that women can do it. Will she make it? Three guesses. In the course of her training, some black marine tells her about the history of his family, and how women today are treated as inferiors, as black people were once. So, it's not only about feminism. It's about Equality, for all people, black or white, male of female, they're all the same. Unless they're gay.
the first thing they ask her when she's joining this project is if she have someone (male) home waiting for her, cause they don't want it to blow up in their faces. and when they want to kick her out of there they just "frame" her of being a lesbian. she was the best soldier in that group. so she's probably will be better then anyone else in the real war. but she's LESBIAN! she's got to be kick out!
Demi - whose name in the movie is Jordan O'neill; her parents were big basketball fans - is super-woman. Nothing less. She can run faster than any man, stay awake longer, and has impeccable morals. But even she, when kicked out of her unit, doesn't think about suggesting that perhaps she would deserve an equal opportunity even if she was gay, and that it's really nobody's business who she's screwing in her own free time. She doesn't; she just pleads innocent. "I was framed!" she cries. Even she understands that if you're gay, you have no right to be considered human.
and you know what really bothers me about all this movie? it's that it's demi and ridley scott. in her real life she's known to be at least "gay friendly", and he made thelma & louise that is considered a "we do think that they were gays"
Unbelievable. That Ridley Scott - he made Alien and Blade Runner, too, for Amanda's sake - will be involved in such a miserable movie - The word "Disappointed!!!" doesn't quite covers it. Some guy I discussed this movie with even said that perhaps he only meant to raise the issue of gay rights (or rather, lack of rights) in the army. For me it seems like I will go to some Harlem Ghetto, scream "Fucking Niggers!", and then say to the gang that's packing up to kill me "Hey guys, take it easy, I was just raising the issue of inter-racial alienation!"
it's probably too late now, but don't go to see this movie. cause if i had to say just one thing about this racist movie it's:
ridley scott - suck my dick!!!
