Nicolas Cage's Lord of War

I was a poli sci major and I thought the movie was meh. The worst part was the retarded message they tried to bring out at the end.

Ughh, I hate when they do that. Like that stupid end of the world movie where everything freezes, and it turns out to be just a long gloal warming commercial. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I thought the lesson at the end was interesting. I haven't learned much about underground arms dealers, but I know that US, China, and Russia are amongst the worlds largest arms creators and exporters along with Israel... Maybe the idea of supplying weapons to both sides to create never ending war to create a demand for weapons is true.

That's true, but I much prefer a movie that is about what it is about, rather than trying to make a statement...because I believe it is more powerful to let people come to that statement on their own terms, rather than being preached to.

That said, LoW was very good, and at times, hard to watch.

I was not a poli sci major, and have not seen the movie.

This is an awesome movie. It's very witty, the acting is great, the action is good and there is an excellent plot.

I'm a poli sci major and that increased the enjoyability of my experience.. but the avg. use would clearly like it as well!
