So I saw the film "25th hour" last night, and this extract concerned me:



The film itself is actually quite good, but it disheartens me to see stuff like this in a film which is openly viewed by the public, and young minds especially.

Should this kind of thing be cracked down on more heavily by the law?, or is content like this openly accepted in the modern world?  *sigh*

discuss...

Your seeing it all wrong (of course IMO). In art you simply expose the absurdity, the problem, the ignorance, the absurdity/idea does need to be denounced, it denounces itself. It should not be watered down at all. If someone cannot see the reality of it; that is their fault. To water it down makes the character analysis - invalid and in-authentic. Exposure is a form of social commentary.

Seriously what is with this? your acting like its murder. Even though this is a film people feel like this in the real world, so lets take it him as a real person (Edward nortan) if he felt that way its up to him, hes angry yeah but its his oppinion. You live in the UK do you think ITS OH SO GREAT how muslims take advantage of us huh?. Cracked down on by the law? your talking about eradicating freedom of speach and the democracy of this country, you may not like it but everyone has their owns views, oppinions, arguements and what not, even if they are false, invalid, racist, discriminative you can't change ones views.

Btw I agree with him on the slavery ended 137 years ago SO MOVE THE FUCK ON.

I haven't seen that movie, thanks for the watch though.

Basically he said fuck everyone (except the Irish) nothing wrong with that.
The movies is restricted to adult viewing and we are all old and grown up enough to know that it wasn't real and only a god dam movie.

well i recall watching a part of the movie before, he said fuck to everyone but irish because he is irish himself, ...in the other way around people can say alot of bad and sterotype things also about the irish. but for me all i say is: try not to make to much enemies... its better to have allies and friends then enemies.
