Act of Valor: "The film has no politics in it and it's not a war movie"
Here’s a look inside the rationale behind the single most disgusting cultural event of the year! Yes, it’s Act of Valor, the bloody shoot-em-up starring “real life Navy SEALs” (but only hot ones, and apparently mostly white ones) that is opening in a theater near you quite soon. This quote by one of the film’s two directors (two!) is amazing: “The film has no politics in it and it’s not a war movie.” Nope, how could such a thing be political??? Just Navy SEALS, stylizedly blowing stuff up to protect your homeland, hugging their little angel children, blowing down the doors of some Arab-looking dudes. On the plus side, this whole thing has made me forget about how mad I was about the Amazingly Loudly Close Incredibly trailer or whatever that thing was.
