its as much of a nation as Chechnya

Why? What makes this any different than the story of countless war films before it? Different uniforms?

Jesus man, have some pride in your nation. Or are you a shit-skin

Really though, what would a movie about any one specific battle have to say about war that the hundreds of films about war previously made haven't already?
I've seen these posts for years here and I never get it.

So do you understand now?

That's not what I'm saying. I mean why insist that a movie be made just on the basis of a battle that has a neat wikipedia page. Every "post historical events that should be movies threads" just boils down to that, and I don't get why a body count or some evocative medal of honor citation warrants an entire film to so many posters here.

God I remember we had to take a trip to see this in high school and during the first 20 minutes it had no sound, and then when sound came on everyone just laughed at how shit it was.
There's literally, like, a crucifixion in it at some point.
My Jewish friend got a refund because of the technical problems tho lul

Because movies are driven by the Hollywood powerhouse and that determines that war stories told from an American perspective for the most part.

This is coming from a Canadian too. We shouldn't need some war propaganda movie to thump our chests about national pride. We know and celebrate Vimy Ridge enough.

If the movie were to be made I'd want it to be more focused on telling a compelling story, how nearly every attempt to take it before failed than I would care about it 'forging Canada as a nation'.

This is not why.

> it was the battle that defined Canada as a Nation
This is why we as canadians want it made. There are plenty of movies made from the american perspective of everything but not us. You will never understand because i'm guessing you are not canadian.

Because Americans make movies. Why don't you leafs get off your lazy asses and make the movie yourselves?

>>81454487
because the majority of great canadian filmmakers begin in Canada but then Hollywood swoops in and offers more money, fame etc.
why stay in Toronto or Montreal making peanuts when Mr. Weinstein is offering you millions in L.A.
It's not a matter of being lazy you yank
