Act of Valor

Torture, drugs, smuggling, cartels, jihadis, suicide bombers, guns, lots of sniper kills, submarines, mini-subs, high-altitude jumps, speed boats, door-to-door search, chaotic shoot-outs, and calm, cool, humble courage. Plus no trashing of USA and even interrogations are polite.

A poem runs through the film that I looked up afterward, from Tecumseh:

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
even a stranger, when in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.

Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools
and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled
with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep
and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I don't know if any of you know, but we have an actual movie star in our midst. He was in the greatest movie ever made-- Rambo II.

Are there any tits? Is it a Pro Israel propaganda piece? I didn't read your whole review.

I did like it. Plot and acting are thin, but they're like duct tape holding together lots of cool action scenes.

No nudity. Fully clothed military wives, women soldiers (communications), and a woman doctor.

Israel not mentioned, but any movie that accurately depicts the threats in the world is a pro-Israel piece.

One of the villains is a Russian Jew who works with jihadis, which will lead many of my tribesmen to conclude that the movie is not good for the Jewish people. Unfortuantely, though, given the substantial presence of Russian Jews in Russian organized crime, the plot choice is credible.

Yeah, Russian Jews are known crooks.

WTF? Really?

I think by that "logic" Triumph of the Will is a pro-Israel piece. Interesting possibility.

Yes, this is the leap of logic (from one person to indicting all the Jews) that my tribesmen fear when they say that a movie or news even is not good for the Jews. Incidentally, with Purim coming up, this is the leap of logic and persuasion Haman made in persuading Ahashverosh to authorize slaughtering all the Jews.

The Persians are an ancient and wise people. Forward thinking, you might say.

Persians today are perhaps the most backwards people alive. They're almost more inbred than the texans.

Yes they were. Odd how Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to Israel to build the Second Temple, while Ahmanidejad and Khameini deny that the Jews have any historic ties to the land.

That would be odd if it was true, but of course like everything out of your mouth, it's not. Nobody says that Jews don't have a historic claim to the Levant, but they're not the only ones and their claim does not supersede others. My Christian ancestors ran the Holy Land for quite some time; perhaps we should invade and run off all the Jews and Muslims and create a new crusader kingdom?

Correction: it was the epic film "Rambo III."

Yes.

On a side note, this thread went in a good direction.

That's right. You were one of the pirates that helped Rambo get the prisoners out of the POW camp right?
