Thread 214340581

I haven't met a single person who's seen it more than once. I've been watching it / scenes from it since it came out. It was the last good film by Ridley Scott.

I'm so happy muslims have been gunned down in large numbers as long as I've been alive and I'm 37

the Somalis didn't look Somali at all and it was just 2 hours of mowing down feral blacks. Great way to unwind after rush hour traffic

>>214340581 (OP)
Were you born in like 2008 or something, everyone i know has seen it plenty of times and loves it

>>214340634
That's the answer to OP's question. It's not talked about because it features 100s of Black killing and getting killed while White US guys call them "skinnys." Doesn't exactly fit the current agenda of the film and critics.

>>214340635
I was 12 when I saw it in the theaters. Then I bought the DVD when it came out and watched it almost every night. I showed it to all of my friends and gilfriends and they all said this

>>214340634
>just 2 hours of mowing down feral blacks

and like that's what I love it for. Not the "feral blacks" but it was like 3 hours of great fucking action. I have the 4k rip and it's spectacularly cinematic.

>>214340862
>cinematic.

>>214340857
I don't think "it's not talked about" at all, people either say it's a solid war movie especially during the gwot years, or they say it's not that accurate and there are better documentaries

>>214340581 (OP)
One of my favorite movies

>>214340926
>not that accurate and there are better documentaries
It's a film and cannot be compared to documentaries not that there are any good ones (Netflix one was trash).

ive seen it like 10 times

>>214341211
There's the book, raw video footage, analysis from military including those who were actually there (not just US), and the timeline of what happened at the White House. But yeah it's just a film as you said

>>214340581 (OP)
ive watched BHD at least 5 or 6 times and would not mind seeing it again because it's a truly great film

>>214341445
>>214341445
>it's just a film as you said
I did not say it's "just" a film. I said it is a film. You generally don't compare films to documentaries as they are different genres. So are books and raw video footage. I am aware. Thank you. But still

it's a great film and I just never see it discussed or mentioned.

I've seen it many times, great movie.

>>214341872
As long as you don't confuse the film with reality, especially since it's a relatively recent event with nearly all surviving players still alive to tell you what happened, then I agree it's a good film. It's not total cap like Hurt Locker or anything

>>214341951
Of course.

This is excellent too:

The main problem is the movie citing Bush 41 for the initial humanitarian mission when the operation that led to the BHD mishap took place entirely during the Clinton admin. I've noticed military who were active in the 1990s get really grumpy at the movie attempting to shift the blame from Clinton. Especially since Adid's militia were trained by AQ that Clinton claims nobody knew about at the time, a connection that the movie made but was removed from the theater cut at the last minute. As a film it's fine (it's such a Michael Bay-styled movie that Bay made it again with 13 Hours), just don't cite it as fact

Burra burra...

>>214340581 (OP)
It's too noisy.
I don't like loud films.
Very non-white vibe.

>>214340581 (OP)
It's one of Scott's best. The problem is it's too morally taboo, because of the racial/political implications.

IRENE

I love it and have watched it many times.
Would never make my wife watch it though... she's iranian and watching it would trigger hours of ranting about evil americans and jews. She'd accuse me of being a zionist if I say I like it.

Certainly in my top 3 for war movies of all times, fighting for the first place with Letters from Iwo Jima. Damn i love so fucking much these movies...

I am currently in a position where I can't actually watch whatever I want on demand.
Simply a tight budget.
If I had more money and the time, I'd probably watch Ridley's whole filmography just to say I have.

>>214340581 (OP)
i rewatched it recently and its pretty shit. just feels like post 9/11 zogbot propaganda

>>214340581 (OP)
I've seen it loads of times
>It was the last good film by Ridley Scott
Indeed it was

>>214344764
Movies are free you aboslute cretin

I like how it shows the US military being retarded and all the Youtube reactors get mad at the UN for being late anyway.

>>214344876
>and all the Youtube reactors get mad at the UN for being late anyway.
huh

i saw this in theaters when it came out. someone brought their child, around ~10 years old. the boy kept laughing any time someone died on screen. it was more jarring than the film itself.

>>214344850
My isp complained.
>inb4
yea yea I probably did it wrong.
i'm still gunshy about pirating tho.

>>214344954
Change providers or just don't be dumb. I couldn't imagine paying for any piece of media I watch unless I go to the cinema

>>214340581 (OP)
This movie is just the cast of "that guys". Seriously no actual movie stars just "that guys" like that guy from game of thrones or that guy from that tv show

The Monkey Dust cartoon version was better

>>214345828
>Orlando bloom
>Eric banner
It has loads of actual stars in it?

>>214340862
Americans think they look tuff in a toy helicopter

>FUCKKKKKKKKK
>THISSSSSSSSSS

>>214346059
Only bloom you could consider a real movie star. Eric bana is the classic "that guy"

>>214346833
Not sure about that. He's the 'star' in a few good things. Same with Josh Harnet and Euwen Mcgregor. You either don't pay attention or just watch shit movies

This movie was boring as fuck. It consists of a ton of famous actors shooting each other and showing up for 5 minutes of screen time. I had no idea what was going on a lot of the time. Its 30 mins “look at these fancy helicopters flying over Somali beaches”while Rachid Taha is playing and 2 hours of coastal desert town shootouts. It is well made though and supposedly quite accurate to the actual events. Maybe it is more of an American thing.

>US Army refers to this as "The Battle of Mogadishu"
>in Somalia it is known as "The Day of the Rangers"

I liked it when that one dude got shot in the back after joking how he didnt need a backpl8 because he wasnt going to run away.

>>214345828
Ewan McGregor, Tom Hardy, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom and Josh Hartnett are not ‘that guys’

>>214347312
Hartnett was a star yes but guys like Tom Sizemore, William Fichtner, Jason Isaacs, Ioan Gruffudd, Hugh Dancy are typical "that guys". Not real movie stars. Neither is that Scottish cocksucker

>>214346833
Bana was the star of more stuff than Bloom, who is mainly remembered for franchises where he was secondary

>>214348212
>>214348223
don't forget jaime lannister is in this too. it's like the band of brothers of movies, EVERYONE is in blackhawk down

>>214348212
Eric bana absolutely is. McGregor is known but not a real movie star.

>>214348234
I already mentioned him. Yes he's the typical that guy. Especially in that movie with tom cruise

>>214348223
McGregor was a big deal then coming off the back of Trainspotting and Star Wars, and many of the lesser known actors have become far bigger names in the years since, such as Tom Hardy

>>214348239
Women watched troy for brad and Orlando
Not for that Australian retard
Lol

>>214348239
24 years after it came out you might consider him one but it doesn’t change the fact he was starring in huge films that decade. He was the lead in Hulk and Munich. He had a bigger role in Troy than Bloom. He did very well for a few years

>>214348254
Tom became a star but nobody know who he was in the movie
Ewan was popular in uk and people know him because of star wars but he's a Scottish cocksucker. Not a real movie star

>>214340581 (OP)
I liked the martian.

>>214348285
>was the lead in Hulk and Munich
Both of these movies flopped. Norton is the most popular hulk

>>214348298
Learn to fucking read you silly cunt, I didn’t say Hardy was a star then

>>214348328
Norton’s Hulk did not do well and he was recast because he wasn’t popular. And Munich did well. Not an argument

>>214340581 (OP)
𝄞Gortoz a ran...

>>214348358
Not it wasn't. It's one of the lowest grossing films of Spielberg career lol

>>214348309
Don't give a shit
The movie is good unlike that trash ang lee hulk movie with that charisma vacuum eric bana

>>214348541
You said it was only packed with 'that guys' which is just wrong

>>214346788
this guy was real bad guy irl

>>214348541
bana was great as Hector, he just got overshadowed because Pitt was channeling pure essence of the alpha male as Achilles
