Wow what arrogance and perhaps cluelessness from the writers, soldiers are over there committing war crimes on behalf of the American plutocracy, and they have the gall to say the forces are there to "restore stability". I'm as big a fan of FPS'ers as the next guy, but if they are going to use real world locations, at least make an attempt to learn about the situation there first.

How would you feel if another country invaded you town or city for its oil, then killed tens of thousands of your women, children, students, reporters etc, but if you fought back you were branded terrorists. Walls are built to divide you from your friends and close family, stealth bombers, Black Hawks, Apaches and UAV's patrol your skies, tanks roll through your streets, yes that's stability we are bringing to you backward folks.

I just looked up the deathcount in Iraq, currently it's sitting at ~100,000 civilians. The people that buy this game and support the developers are basically saying that these 100,000 deaths, many of whom are buried in mass graves, are nothing more than a joke.

A couple from last month:
8th Feb - Father and son shot dead in Al Moushahada, north Baghdad
10th Feb - Mobile phone shop owner shot dead in central Falluja
11th/12th Feb - Student by explosive device in Yaychi, southwest of Kirkuk
15th Feb - Man shot dead in front of house in Kirkuk

You're missing my point. I didn't mean it *should* be done that way, I meant it *can* be done that way because the frame of reference is clear.

As for your examples, I think they prove my point. The Christmas Vacation scene uses tons of angles and moving camera, so you need the 180 degree rule. The American History X example is extremely simple with almost all the shots concerning the father and son who are sitting at an angle to each other, so the rule applies. And the Donnie Darko scene is actually a little confusing because they break the rule with the mom and son, and they are sitting at an angle to each other.

For some reason I imagine this as a @kronosposeidon father-and-son bonding moment. Too bad he didn't get to see too well out of the lab coat.

while the movie was fantastic and shone the light on how a persons perspective can change in the face of great danger and hardship.the interplay between father and son in this bleak and barren world is worth watching the movie alone but THE BOOK is soooooo much better.

i thought the movie rather poignant.
yes it was dark and brooding but the dynamic of the father and son was what i focused on,maybe because that was the core of the story.
we watch as the father goes from a man of hope and faith in humanities basic goodness to one of pure cynicism and mistrust and it is his son who takes up the banner of hopefulness and ends up being the sole proponent who attempts over and over to remind his father of what is "good" and "righteous"in his own childlike fashion..
it was these shiny moments that really came through in an otherwise very bleak look at a planetwide cataclysm.

Thanks Eric. Was trying to get this under attention for a while, and failing hopelessly. Glad to get some help.

So this is like the 9-11 equivalent for the Brits?


That's a bit tasteless, it got lots of coverage for 2 reasons, one, its not the first in a long line of footballing tragedies, and two, due to the nature of the people injured and killed and the way they died (fathers and sons often go to watch games together), not because of someone's malice, but because of mismanagement.

And that's why I think this event sticks in peoples mind.

Also it could use *80s
