Thread 213372517

why did LT ignore all the letters he sent?

>>213372517 (OP)
Is that Thomas Lee Jones and Pedro Pasquali?

>>213372532
No, that's Benicio del Toro.

>>213372526
Because he already knew the guy was losing it.

And probably a unhealthy amount of disconnect about training men to kill, when you yourself have never killed.

>>213373349
I dont believe that's the kind of thing you can teach without having done it.

>>213372526
Cognitive dissonance from knowing that he was part of a machine that broke young men and turned them into killers with a short lifespan

>>213372517 (OP)
So, were the dudes in the beginning hunters or sweepers?

>>213373659
his father taught him all the l33t moves tho and he killed alot of people.

thanks for reminding me about this movie. I don't think it's worth a download but I'm gonna stream it right quick. It's almost like the First Blood when he's evading law enforcement.

>>213372526
Reading is for fags

this movie is on the "ill watch it every few years" rotation

>>213373659
there's a million subhuman niggers first offender killing all the time on the world, shooting you just because you didn't surrendered your wallet or talk back, I don't think it's rocket science, you fucking loser

the difference is in IQ, for someone with a high IQ who wouldnt ever want to do something like that, you need immense training to take away their "civilisation" take the societal conditioning away from them that makes them productive, law abiding, fearful of imprisonment, etc.
someone with a high IQ is aware of all the terrible things that will happen to them and their victims, thats why they dont commit crime. you have to carefully crack away at this conditioning in a normal human being to make them able to remove their empathy and compartmentalise being able to kill everyone in this combat area i'm suddenly in, and then going back to society where i have to wait in line to order a an overpriced drink.

great movie, underrated and low key. seen it atleast 5 times. del toros character is the badass stoic type that makes women squirt.

>>213372517 (OP)
a rare movie thats kino and just awful at the same time

>>213375662

I'm pretty sure those guys were looking specifically for him. plus they had those tacticool looking scopes on the hunting rifles.

and tommy lee jones plays his regular cop/fed character, detached from the others. but in this movie he gets his hands dirty a lot and actually fights man to man. it's perfect.

Watched the movie for the first time because of this thread. It was surprisingly bloody. TLJ was involved in a lot more of the action than I thought he was going to be pretty cool. The last 20 minutes felt rushed, but still an alright movie.

No clue if it's real, but it's the move I pull out every time I'm in a paranoid fantasy of being attacked. Just needs some armpit stabs to get all the juicy arteries.

>>213372526
because he trains killers, assassins, and one of them was talking about issues with who he was being sent to kill.

>>213375662
sweepers lt, they had military optics

almost felt like a mgs3 movie with the cqc fights

>>213382601
Come the fuck on.
The fire would never get hot enough for that shit.

>>213382601
>didn't fold it once
Is he TRYING to reject the mandate of the red sun over Nippon?

>>213383201
a "campfire" does actually have the potential to get hot enough to make steel malleable. it needs to be really well fed and efficient though, sitting it in the coals of a weak fire would not work.
the fire would need a shape, heat blocking, efficient fuel like thick dry wood.
also his end result would look much rougher and the process would take very long without adequate tools. but it is completely possible and the movie just dumbs it down.

>>213383550
It's more kino for LT to use the (more effective) natural method, attuned to nature, while the Puerto Rican must beat and twist his environment with fire to forge his weapon.

>>213383867
interesting way to look at it!

>>213383983
It's to reinforce who the story wants you to believe is the good guy and bad guy at that time. Of course, the truth is more complicated. It's a thing that makes me think writing LT to be more schizoid, autistic, or otherwise neurodivergent could be interesting. The movie suggests he may be a chickenhawk, trying to participate in the military as a civilian. Hannam is a victim of a system in which LT is a willing tool. What if LT simply could not make a living as anything other than an outdoorsman, and then an instructor? Rather than a pure hypocrite, he is one trying to balance his conscience with his career.

>Dear LT, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'

>>213372526
LT owed the man $20 from back in the day and the being a tracker doesn't pay well enough to cover the interests.
