"The right wing will come at this movie. I have done something that just cannot be done. You can never say anything critical of the troops."

Well here is a “short film” that someone made years ago:
Don’t Ever Forget - Remember The Blood Of Heroes (flash presentation)

oh let’s not forget Body Double
the only good thing was the song Relax
What he does is not protected by the Constitution. The crime of treason is spelled out in the Constitution.
He provides aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war and sours morale at home and abroad by making up stories of our troops raping people in Iraq.
This same crap was sold again and again in the US and the UK and Egypt and Turkey...
Some people lost their jobs publishing the hoaxed photos (some sourced from a porn site, other sourced by a treasonous Brit who urinated on a man posing as an Iraq prisoner, only thing was the truck he used in the shot was not deployed).
Just because John Kerry was not punished for the treason of lying about war crimes to Congress (he said decades later that he did not stand by those words, the words of “an angry young man”) does not mean it wasn’t treason.
No, we have a spineless Congress that never wanted to prosecute Henry Fonda’s pro-North Vietnamese daughter so you are unlikely to see anyone prosecuted for treason.
Art has nothing to do with it.
Isn't that the truth?!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
We’ll wait and see how DePalma’s next movie does. I know I won’t be seeing it.
Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are there to weed out terrorists and keep them from coming here. Hey Brian, do you think it would be better if those terrorists did come here? Evidently so.
It’s difficult to respond to an effort like this knowing the man spent a long time creating this film. How do you address it just right? I think the best way would be to herald his selection of topic, and realize how he tarnished the whole of our troops with this one act.
The Iraqis, the Iraqi government, the people in the region want us there Brian. Even the Lebanese people are saluting their men for taking out terrorists in Lebanon. Only you and your fellow travelers are determined to create another massive genocide in Iraq by forcing our pullout, to match the one your buds created in Cambodia and Vietnam.
What’s the matter bud, wasn’t 3,000,000 dead souls enough?
You are one sick human being. And by the looks of things, there is an epidemic in Hollywood these days. It’s something that baffles me, how supposedly intelligent men could stoop so low.
I have no use for any of you. It’s beyond me how you can look at yourself in the mirror.
Not anymore.
And a younger Melanie Griffith.
“Dress to Kill” was interesting to say the least.
As you all know, he did do “Casualties of War”.
Get a DVD player and start a collection of classic films. You can order them from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
The antidote for de Palma disease: Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Ford, Hawks, Ozu, Fleming, Mann, Lang, Curtiz, and more!
What an ego.
I wonder if he would ever mention that Billy Zane and Gary Busey went there “first” by appearing in a Turkish film about Abu Ghraib (Busey reportedly played a Jewish doctor who stole organs from prisoners for sale to wealthy Americans and Israelis).
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE NATURE OF THESE FILMS, BRIAN.
My question for “Mr” De Palma: How does it feel to live in a country so free that you can smear the very young men and women who serve to protect your freedoms? You must be very proud of yourself.
He can’t even begin to mimic a Hitchock movie...a monumental failure as a director.
Heavens no! A Hitchcock movie
The comments on this thread indicate that this movie’s events never took place... I’m pleased to learn that it didn’t, but I’m also sure I remember hearing about this. When was the story discredited?
The sickos that did this crime in Iraq were brought to justice by the US military...How’s hollywierd been treating Roman Polanski’s anal rape of a 13 year old girl or woody allen having sex with his adopted daughter?
I’m trying to find funding for a movie about a Hollywood director and actor who go to an enemy country and provide them comfort during a war and while we are under threat from the first country. In the end they are hung for treason. Kind of a twist ending.
De Palma didn’t make a film based on any court case. His legal advisers had him fabricate his own “fake but accurate” tale of GI Rape.
If the film is so compelling, make it after we’ve left. The film’s sole purpose is to turn the American people against the war effort (and to recruit for Al Qaeda).
No. You see in liberal-world the first amendment means they get to speak and if anyone does respond than that is equivalent to attempts to silence them.
