I did not see this one coming.
A blogger is claiming that Act of Valor is anti-semitic. I can't even begin to comment cause I haven't see the flick but this is a part of her spill...
Time to watch the film I guess. Afternoon showing here I come.
NOTE:
I am also aware that a good bit of controversy is always good to up movie sales. I'm probably falling for a marketing scheme but oh well.

By Debbie SchlusselI've been hard on this film but never would I believe that they would do this.
It’s official: “Act of Valor” is anti-Semitic tripe wrapped in the American flag with a Navy SEAL cherry on top. The movie, which debuts in theaters today, goes to great pains to tell you that the largest terrorist plot against America is perpetrated by a Jew. Did the Stormfront guys write this crap? In case there’s any doubt, “But you’re Jewish!” is shouted by a real-life Navy SEAL interrogator who heads SEAL Team 7 featured in the movie and goes by the nickname, “Senior.” Apparently “Senior” forgot this, but the last time I checked, the guys behind 9/11 were not named Osama Bin Cohen and Khalid Sheikh Horowitz. Ditto for the guys behind every major terrorist attack against Americans, whether on U.S. soil or abroad. The Beirut bombing and murder of over 300 U.S. Marines and civilians? Here’s a tip, Navy SEALS: It wasn’t perpetrated by HezboLox&Bagels. And the guy just sentenced for trying to blow up a plane full of Americans with his underwear isn’t Umar Farouk AbdulEpstein.

I'm going to see the movie sometime, so it will be interesting to see if this is just one step removed from a total copout like the movie version of "The Sum of All Fears".
ReplyDeleteThe lady looks like a nut. That said, even the 1990 Navy Seals film had Arab terrorists. I guess they didn't want to piss off the Arabs who we work with.
ReplyDeleteYeah uh no. Nobody is a bigger supporter of Israel and I saw the movie yesterday. It is not anti-semitic. It does however go out of its way not to use arabs as terrorists. That smacked as typical caucasian PCism. But the movie is not anti-semitic. Just because someone points out a nitwits jewish heritage doesnt mean he is anti-semitic. Rabin was a nitwit...and a jew....am I anti-semitic for pointing that out? Give it a rest.
ReplyDeleteyou need to reread the post. i'm not accusing anyone of being anti-semitic. that particular blogger is.
ReplyDeletemy critique of the SEALs remains though. AND there participation in this movie---to include the games they played to get it to the silver screen.
