A Girl Named Jen. I agree with you. What I did was try to get Robbie away from the typecasting of someone. I think the answer from Robbie did that.

There are some flashbacks during the film but since it was the last twelve hours it was more about those that denied him, even Mary who initially denied him but then turned and went to him. Graphic, yes, horrific yes, unbelievable brutal yes. But that was what it was like. I think that some would rather watch the film within their church and others at home. I could never buy the film because I could not stand to watch it over and over.

I believe that by showing the brutality we best depict the reality. It continues today. If we clean it up we take away the impact of the lesson to be learned. I don't think it was gratuitous violence.

And yes it does leave you with hope.

The biggest thing is don't let others make the decision for you as to whether to watch it or not. We have the ability to make that decision for ourselves.

Hi Chisum and Jen

Hope my post above didn't annoy you or anyone else my point is simply that I don't understand when countries like the UK and the USA are constantly portrayed in an negative light simply because some star wants to make a statement usually to boost his or her ego.

Gee Robbie, being an American has its benefits. Everyone loves us and always portrays us as a positive role model for the rest of the world to look up to and love. Having no enemies just spoils us to death. Besides Gibson can you think of anyone else who has an axe to grind against the British? Maybe Mr. Bean?

Chisum

I wouldn't say everyone loves you yanks as there have been many anti-American movies portraying the country in a very negative light. Being pround of your country is no longer all that common. Mr. Bean however is cool and a true Brit especially the actor who plays him!

I to have not seen the movie but it has been accused of directing blame towards one section in particular. If this is true I would not be surprised because Gibson has a track record of this his portrayal of British people in both Braveheart and The patriot were simplistic, stupid,atrocious, false and offensive.
