Alas, it does. That is why the traitors in Hollywood make movies that celebrate traitors.

Check “Bridge over the River Kwai” where the honorable British commander, who’s men were being murdered by the Japanese in a disgraceful fashion, yet still resisted, was presented as a collaborator.

It’s fiction homeboy. Means it never happened. It’s not meant to reflect on history AT ALL.

I’ll give you a summary of the movie. It’s about a bunch of actors who pretend to be soldiers...

It’s the same with any movie. Bridge over the River Kwai was a film about a bunch of actors, pretending to be soldiers...

It’s... A... MOVIE...

People like you are boring and I don’t care what you think.

And people are entitled to be liberals. The last thing I want in this world is for everybody to suit your tastes and political leanings. That would be my version of a living hell.

You don’t want to watch the movie, don’t watch the movie.

Have a nice day.

'Kwai' was more ambigious than that. By the end, it's not clear who was in the right.

Wow talk about over simplifying. Kwai is about an officer who gets caught up in the show of being a British officer and loses sight of the war around him. He doesn’t really collaborate so much as decide to show everybody how awesome Brits are. And let’s not forget all his questionable stuff happens after he spends a few days in the hot box, we’ll never know how much of his brain gets left behind. It’s a great movie, great book too.
