Veteran US director Brian De Palma won the Best Director award at the Venice film festival on Saturday for "Redacted," his hard-hitting Iraq war film. The dramatisation of the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl by US soldiers, was also honoured on Friday with the Future Film Festival Digital Award, for the film that makes the best use of animation or visual effects.
yep, anti-American european intellectuals love an anti-American Hollywood film maker....
Yeah I just love elitist Euro-Commies./sarc BARF
What does that guy do between global conflicts?
Shameful Award
I've already honored him with my personal digital award.
Taps his foot in public toilets.
For the same reason that no Hollywood people will make anything that even borders on an anti Islam theme. They are afraid. What a bunch of wussies.
but...but...
the left SUPPORTS the troops dontchaknow.
Well, I imagine a drawing of Europe, where you've got Great Britain to the west, and Poland to the east, and nothing of interest in between. At least as far as being friends to America!

I wonder what awards a film showing UN personnel raping civilians would win. None. It wouldn’t get shown.
What's the surest way to get your career back on track? Make an anti-American, anti-troop "film" that every leftist will embrace.
DePalma also made another anti-American, anti-troop film in 1990, "Casualites of War" with Sean Penn. What was the plot? US soliders rape a Vietnamese woman, kill her and try to cover it up.
He's a hack.
Case in point: the deplorable "Sum of All Fears", where the villains were changed from Islamofascists to neo-Nazis. I'm disappointed in Tom Clancy that he allowed his excellent book to be turned into this unbelievable, politically correct mishmash. (Additionally, Ben Affleck stunk up the place big-time.)
Link has info on who bankrolled the propaganda pic.
The reason the leftist director didn’t make a movie about Saddam and his sons portraying them as the rapist murderers that they were is because he is twisted. These people don’t believe in God, so nothing is off limits for them, not even telling lies about good Americans who are serving their country. It’s because the left is in the habit of accusing their enemies of what they are guilty of. It’s becoming their form of a mental illness, it has become such a habit that it has now morphed into mental illness fueled by their hate of God and everything that is good. It’s scary!
They are so afraid of the headchoppers they refuse to make a film about them, and instead make a film about something that cannot, would not, and does not want to hurt them.
REAL MEN in Hollywood, please stand up!
“For the same reason that no Hollywood people will make anything that even borders on an anti Islam theme. They are afraid. What a bunch of wussies.”
....yep....and I also expect that they have an eye on world wide distribution potential....let’s face it, if you come from the anglo-european, judeo-christian culture you only represent 15% of the world’s population and trending down.....the Muslim world is exploding population wise....I expect DePalma will do big box office bucks in the Arab world and will simultaneously be lionized by French cafe society and American academics.
Bill OReilly took on some lib arguing for this film, and did a really good job. He kept talking about how FDR would never have tolerated this, and didn’t she see how this helped our enemies.
At the end he kept saying, When are they going to make a movie about our heroic troops doing a wonderful job? Where’s that movie? She had no answer.
