billpayersays...Love J.S. but I think a film about how Guantanamo has locked up and tortured 86 innocent people for 10 years might be more relevant for a U.S. audience. Yes, 86 prisoners cleared for release, still locked up.

Instead we get a film about how evil Iran is, by an U.S. director
brycewi19jokingly says...No, you're right, we should create a system where we all take a vote and dictate which movies directors and producers should be making.
No one needs to hear this story.

brycewi19says...Oh, and there is a movie coming out soon called "Camp X-Ray" about the very subject you want to see.

siftbotsays...Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, August 31st, 2014 4:54pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter brycewi19.
billpayersays...Yes, I am looking forward to that movie much more...
This one just seems like a rehash of Argo or Syriana
Yogisays...I will watch Camp X-Ray eventually but I sincerely doubt it'll tell any of the real story of what it's like being in Guantanamo.

Stormsingersays...Well then, by all means, go ahead and make that movie. I encourage you to do so, if you really think it so important.
What Stewart does is his choice, not yours, unless you're going to fund the project for him.

billpayersays...Hey cool it down yo, just giving my feedback on a trailer yo...
...s'what siftin' is all 'bout.
blackorebsays...Maziar Bahari appeared in a Daily Show segment 10 days before he was arrested. The footage was used against him while he was being interrogated and tortured. Jon Stewart had a personal stake in this particular story.
Also, no one is complaining about your feedback - it is the here-is-an-unrelated-topic-that-I-care-about bit that is cringe worthy.

Paybacksays...What right do you have to tell us to "cool it down"???
Oh wait. We should.

dannym3141says...Another video popped up with Kristen Stewart in it about camp x-ray after watching this one. The context might have been wrong, but i can understand why @billpayer said that - it's a terrible, terrible thing of which he speaks and it can feel frustrating when you care about those things but it seems to you like most forms of mainstream media only tell a certain side.
It is frustrating, and i doubt many people disagree with you that it's a monumental injustice, but the other side of the story does get told.. and i think the noticeable weighting is indicative of what the majority of people "want" to hear/believe rather than a calculated move to revise history (i.e. more cinema tickets will be sold by a movie in which a westerner overcomes perceived terrorism than one in which a light is shone on the possible human rights violations and illegal internment of innocent victims of the west's war on terror).
I was surprised by the 'kstew' trailer, looked ....intelligent and thoughtful?
newtboysays...I must say I find your comment confusing, especially when you consider that after the trailer ran a link to the exact movie you say 'would be more relevant' appears. Your comment implied that this movie (rosewater) was made INSTEAD of a movie about Guantanamo (camp X-ray), but both movies were made.
What's your issue? I'm confused.
