"Tom Cruise underplayed the politics, leaving it to Robert Redford to lash out against the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq at the center of "Lions for Lambs," for which the pair held their first presser Tuesday at the Rome Film Festival.
(snip)
"Our country has hit a point where we have lost so much," he said. "We have lost lives, we've lost sacred freedoms, we've lost financial stability; we've lost our position of respect on the world stage."(said Redford)
Cruise, kept largely above the political fray, merely expressing hope that the talky multi-strand pic in which he plays a power-hungry Republican senator "will challenge and engage an audience, so that they can come out and have dialogue."
Another anti-US film from elderly Lefties...how boringly predictable. Why anyone would support another America-bashing
Follywood flick is a mystery to me.
Particularly galling is the fact that Redford does his trash-talking on foreign soil.
America has been way too good to these Leftist “artists.” Where else could such an uneducated bunch be paid millions for their suspect “talent”?
Washed up and washed out Lefty morons like Redford and Gore are worthless and will reep their just rewards!
And you can be certain that the ‘Academy’will give it at least one award. Morons.
It’s the Fall of the Hollywood Traitor movies.
Just what the heck is wrong with Redford’s face anyway?
Ugly, isn’t he?
I suspect the effects of too much sun at high altitudes...and too much frowning at traditional American values.
Yesterday, I listened to George Carlin on a radio interview. He was railing about how anything commercial isn’t worth bull spit, everyone has sold out to commercial interests, etc. The USA is an exploitive, destructive country, blah blah blah.
If you want to buy his 12DVD set, he’s signing at Borders on 57th and 6th and he’ll be doing a date at....blah blah blah...What a hypocrite. He’s hypocrisy incarnate.
Name ONE
Redford: In the remake, you'll play Sundance because you certainly can't be "Butch".
Political ignoramuses making powerful movies is akin to babies with loaded shotguns.
And hopefully we will soon lose his old ass and Tommy will join his twin Michael in Baharain.
I couldn't have said it any better. When I saw the TV commercial for it and saw the 'satrs' in it, I knew immediately that it would be anti-US. *yawn*
make that ‘stars’
Similar dribble from Redford yesterday.....

Thank you - That was EXACTLY my first thought!
Best wishes for the happy couple.
I saw the trailer for this movie in the theater (there for Bourne Ultimatum). It comes off as a comedy. So anti-American it’s sad. The crap that is coming out of Hollywood these days is reaching an unprecedent level.
Whatever happened to the WWII movies staring John Wayne?? Will there ever be a pro-military movie made again?
