And AS will obviously have to win something won't it? In spite of it being the worst kind of propaganda even liberal Hollywood still has to kowtow the MIIC. Can't be seen questioning that sort thing or yoi'll be branded as an enemy of 'Murica!
Or ... maybe "liberal" Hollywood isn't quite as liberal on some things as you seem to think it is? Particularly American "exceptionalism" and the American military?
Haven't seen AS but I'm curious to see how his death is covered. I thought Kyle's murder at a gun range was a bizarre example of poetic justice. The snake eating its own tail. Live by the sword ... die by the sword.
Yeah, helping out fellow vets who have PTSD and winding up getting killed by one. Such justice. Fuck his wife and kid too, right? There aren't words to describe the kind of person I think you are.
Don't feed than, man!
Sorry, won't happen again. He's safely on the ignore list with the other trolls. (Even Cutter isn't there, so you know I'm pretty tolerant usually.)

yeah that really was an inhuman comment. dude sounds like a stereotypical SJW - lashing out at the du jour cause without once considering what the actual truth is.

I'd rather have them focus on the actual science and the story surrounding what they did and how it was used. That's barely mentioned in passing in the film. I don't really need yet another film that demonizes straight white males. Again, learn to let go. Get over it. We ALL have our problems.
Well, straight white men are a persecuted minority. We have to watch out for ourselves, or we won't continue to dominate every aspect of the world.

Although Cutter is being confrontational about it, he's right. Imitation Game isn't a very good film and is blatantly manipulative. Cucumber-batch is good and there probably could be a good on-message film about this but the movie we got uses kid gloves to such an extreme degree (for instance Turing is never shown or depicted in a relationship with another man) that it ends up being a version of The Help. The Enigma code and how it weaves into the end of WWII is fascinating on many levels but this movie uses them as window dressing.
Cutter I also agree with what you said about Budapest. That ugly undercurrent is what makes this one of Wes' best.

I just said I saw the damn film didn't I? And I'm well familiar with Turing's story. In fact that's about all the film focuses. Everything about breaking Enigma is just an incidental sideline.
Uhhh ... isn't the film about Turing? And wasn't he in fact, instrumental in breaking the code? And wasn't his homosexuality, given how badly persecuted he was because of it, an important part of his story, not to mention history?
What would you have the filmakers do? Just omit all that stuff? Maybe they should have just left Turing out of the film completely, so as not to upset you so much.
