One more thought on Green Zone
What does the studio think it is doing by producing an action movie with the Iraq War as a backdrop? Don't tell me that it is doing so for "patriotic reasons." Do they really think that such a movie will do well here and overseas? Is it more likely to foster anti-American sentiment than pro-? I am thinking that it may be offensive, exploiting a bad situation (even an unjust war) in order to sell a story with cartoon characters, and may create a worse impression of Americans. "Those stupid Americans, even when they are wrong they must find a way of making themselves seem right, by creating a soldier of a good soldier who fights against the corrupt CIA and brings it to justice."
