WAR MACHINE

>>83251405
it was a pretty shit movie that was too derivative, had no real direction, and really belongs on netflix. I like brad too, but he couldn't pull this off.

>>83251405
>McMahon

uhm why is the WWE man dressed as a soldier?

All Pitt comedies have been tryhard satire for suburban zombies to feel politically informed about their country.
>OP is a kinospouting two-liner memer
Proof once again

>>83252294
What or some sophisticated films for the not suburban zombie aka the more enlightened individuals such as myself?

genuine question

>>83251962
>uhm why is the WWE man dressed as a soldier?

It was going to be a fictionalized biopoic of Stanley McChrystal, but they felt it was wiser to change his name.

How come there's always a bunch of VA fags that go around harassing people about stolen valor bullshit yet an actor, getting paid millions to pretend to be a soldier gets a free pass?

>>83251405
Brad Pitt is such a lightweight actor my god. He just does the same vaguely southerny accent and makes dumb faces.

>>83253886
damn really makes u think

>>83253955
I honestly believe it's a fair a valid question

>>83251405
Anyone else feel like this movie majes you feel for McChrystal/McMahon and realize just how retarded the Obama admin was?

That Hillary seen though.

>>83253886
He's an actor

He is depicting someone who was in the military, not pretending he was in the military himself

If Brad Pitt started dressing like thi every day people would probably give him shit

>>83254201
that's kinda my point though. Those "stolen valor" people do probably wear that everyday but they aren't profiting off of that. Not a million dollars worth that is...

Just because he's an actor, he gets a free pass?

I'm just trying to understand the logic honestly.

And depicting and pretending on a film set is literally the same thing. All film actors/actresses pretend for a living to be other people, while profiting a fuckton of money from it.

>>83254333
How much he profits has nothing to do with it and with movies it's obvious to everyone that Brad Pitt is pretending, he's not tricking anyone into thinking he is part of the armed forces

>>83254083
Just remember what the nigger said in the movie while McMahon was talking to the marines.

>"I'm confused why the fuck we have to retrain ourselves when the civilians are trying to kill us just because we're marines? that shit doesn't work like that"

MERICA at its finest, if you dont obey then they shoot you.

ok that was suprising and movie was surprisingly good.

>>83254460
LOL, you gotta be pretty flexible to stretch that far, ANTIFA

>>83254074
you're dumber than I thought

>>83254514
as opposed to being surprised the movie didn't surprise you?

>>83254442
Exploitation is bad if they do it every day but if they can make a profit and film it and that's okay?

Do you hear your own logic?

>>83254333
Son, are you clinically dumb?

>>83254633
You are just pretending to be retarded now

>>83251405
It was interesting. I liked that it wasn't really a war film and thought Pitt gave a really entertaining performance.
But there was no clear direction, it was just a series of events with an unsatisfying conclusion

A more fictionalised version of the story would've made a better film I think

>>83254633
Shut the fuck up, you retarded cocksucker. Actors pretend to be other people for a living.

>>83253886
There are no VA fags that go around harassing people. You don't know what you're talking about. Stop.

>>83254694
I'm talking about exploitation from both sides.

>>83254705

But aren't they appropriating my military culture?

>>83251405

Everyone of these military fags go out of their way to film this and get butthurt over a costume they wear

>>83254770
I'm a veteran. I do not believe you are. So no, nobody is appropriating "your" military culture.

>>83254760
You are talking about things you clearly have no understanding of at all

>>83254770
No.

>>83251405
I'm glad you enjoyed it anon, but I think it was a pretty flawed movie. It didn't work very well as satire, and it didn't work very well as a pseudo documentary either.

>>83254828
And what does that have to do with the VA?

>>83251405
this looks like SHIT

has pitt ever actually been good in anything?

>>83254828
When you grow up and get your first real job, you'll understand the difference between a costume and a uniform.

>>83254849
It wasnt a satire nor a documentary, it is based on a real general that tried to kick USA in the ass to do the right thing but even someone successful and weird as him cannot do that.

>>83254923
if you weren't a pleb you woul know

>>83254833
It's about exploiting profit from people who have actually served vs stolen valor videos in which said person is exploiting that they are military for who knows what; attention, military discounts, etc.

Hollywood gets a pass because we all know they are actors, but it's still exploitation. People in war and shit really die and here comes pretty looking people, pretending to be military, get to go home and living with billions of dollars

>>83254967
LOL he's never heard of Fury or The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford

>>83254928
No, it's a costume. Uniform makes you sound like you should work at mcdonalds.

>>83254991
One has nothing to do with the other

>>83255032
Gr8 B8, kiddo. Mom's got your tendies ready yet?

>>83255032
Even people who work at McDonalds are more respectable than you.

>>83254945
I know, the story of Mcchrystal would have been far more interesting in a straight take, especially as the entire surge ended up being an inevitably pointless and doomed exercise, but they didn't. Honestly, the material was there, it just came down to shitty execution.

>>83255059
If you follow those stolen valor logic, then yes it is! It's exploitation on both sides

>>83255136
I wouldn't mind seeing some modern movies about some of history's more notable Generals like Billy Mitchell, or Doolittle.

>>83255149
So don't follow that logic. Problem solved.

>>83255106
As someone who works at McDonalds, fuck you. I want to burn this place to the ground. I have respect for OP, fuck the military and fast food.

>>83255149
No, that argument doesn't work at all.

They aren't stealing any valor.

>>83255136
>would have been far more interesting in a straight take
Explain further.

>>83255229
Both sides are pretending to be military.

>Brother has an air force ID and looks similar to me
>Regularly borrow it to buy food around town
>One day a guy who saw me order stops to ask me questions because he says I don't look like a pilot
>Tell him to fuck off
>He demands to see my drivers license
>Tell him to fuck off
>Get my food and leave while he calls the police

Fuck you military faggots I just want 20% off my pizza

I thought it was ok. I just saw it 2 hours ago. Brad pitt was charming and his character work was good. The plot lines went everywhere without direction. The story felt like it would of been better suited for a mini series i.e. one episode about him trying to talk to obama, one with not-clinton telling him its hopeless, him commanding. instead of trying to fit it into one movie

>>83253886
>VA fags

Can you translate that to English? Any other language? Your post may be the most retarded on this board, which is quite an accomplishment.

>all this reddit spacing
you're lucky I graced this shitty thread with my presents

>>83255357
So wait, is your brother still in the Air Force?

>>83255321
No. Brad Pitt is not pretending to be in the military, we went over this.

>>83255433
For a few weeks of his life, getting paid a few million dollars, yes. He absolutely, 100 and ten percent was pretending to not only be in the military but he was pretending to be someone else.

>>83254333
>Just because he's an actor, he gets a free pass?

He's not fraudulently wearing the uniform and saying he served in order to obtain that which is not rightfully his. He is acting.

Acting is not real life, shithead.

>>83255493
For the time he was in this shooting it, yes he was pretending he was in the military.

Of course acting is not real life. But when you try to apply these veteran stolen valor logic, it doesn't add up.

>>83255413

>>83255542

>>83255542
>veteran stolen valor logic

>>83255570
acting is pretending. It's a literal form of art. But it's all make believe and pretending at the end of the day

>>83255357
Fraudulent use of a military ID is a Federal offense, jackass.

>>83255640

>>83255662
Both you and your brother are faggots and probably suck eachother's dicks

Netflix wanted to bring this movie to Cannes but it was so shitty that they pulled it out and went with the korean and Jewmbach one instead.

It's a unfit out of pace and unfunny piece of shit satire film which goes nowhere.

Glad DNC killed the author's book so he didn't need to see what a clusterfuck his book went to into film.

>>83255692
Yeah, "Republitards". You tell em, ANTIFA! ANARCHY! ANARCHY! ANARCHY! I suppose you wouldn't mind if I got a car loan with your Social Security number, right? You're not a Republitard, are you?

To be honest, it's not like anyone in the military is actually important. You're all throwaways. You go out there to "fight" and "be somebody" but most likely you'll come back shaken, fucked up in the head, and worthless to the world.

But goddamn, you best be sure to call out someone who just wants a shitty discount on food and the movies. Was the war worth it for 10-20% off of shit?

>>83255991
I used to think like you, then I outgrew the High School mentality

>>83255692
Fraudulent use of a government document (hint, it doesn't belong to your brother) is not "stolen valor", it's illegal fraud, but your rage is hilarious. That attitude is why people like me regard people like you as inferior pieces of shit and do our best to fuck with you when we get the opportunity.

>>83256043
So your brother is a throwaway?

>>83256067

>>83256092
Yes, he's the black sheep of the family, like all military

>>83256092
I'm not the brother/military guy but yeah, he probably wasn't worth anything when he got deployed and he's only worth a pizza discount now so yeah probably

Are we the weak ones? I'm not the loser who had nothing going for him and joined whatever fag branch was available.

Let's be honest, not even the government values you. People in the military aren't really worth anything. It's pretty funny to know that you're brainwashed into fighting and you can only respond with yes sir, no sir. Talk about being a sheep. When one of you gets killed overseas, noone gives a shit really. You're just a drop in the bucket. It's not noble or honorable. You're a bunch of brainwashed kids with weapons told to aim it a certain way. But you'll never be an individual, you're nothing but a stat when you get killed. You get a nice 3 day weekend that noone gives a shit about. I get a free Monday, I don't care that you and your butt brothers got killed.

Then they have the same type.

Also, it looked like Brad Pitt was doing an impersonation of George Clooney playing the character.

>>83256765
That wasn't the point I was making but that's a fair assessment of what I was saying. I was actually trying to tie stolen valor logic towards exploitation from Hollywood.

If they are so upset over someone wearing their costumes, then equally they should just be as mad as an actor/actress making money off of the situation. pretend or not. It's trying to use logic against what they say.

The entire point I was making was that stolen valor people are dumb and their logic doesn't make sense.

Wew lad, you're retarded. I ain't a soldier, or even American, but you honestly think that soldiers aren't worth anything? Based on what? Contributions to society? Lemme tell you, whatever you think you're worth, even if you're some scientific genius, you're only able to make yourself useful because there's a government that guarantees your livelihood and it enforces that guarantee with its military. The military is the only reason you have any rights at all, you dumb fuck.

I get a nice 3 day weekend cause the families of dumb soldiers and "brothers" get to mourn and stupid shit.

Stop being all military defendant. They are all useless sheep who can be easily brainwashed and manipulated with money

Watching this right now

Pitt's performance is awful, just screwing up his face and doing a silly accent

>>83258968

It's comical on purpose, I think. The whole movie is kind of like an exaggeration of real life while at the same time very believeable because of how the reality is truely fucke up. Even the casting choice of Kingsley as yet another generic brown skin leader addds to the ridiculuosness. I feel like him watching the Dumb and Dumber movie was included to show the directors feelings about the war: that both sides are equally retarded (the left and the right, democrats and republicans, conservatives and liberals, etc).

All the characters are swapped around racially. The man vs himself blind to his own limitations schtick got old fast but they repeat it to make a point.
Listen to the Europeans, they know best, throughout. In histories 20/20 hindsight this gets tiresome.
