Title: Voices of Iraq
Post by: videoholic on October 26, 2004, 09:13:06 AM
Marc Cuban was pimping this movie on the radio the other day.

There is a clip that lasts about 6 minutes.  Couldn\'t imagine watching crappy DV on a film screen but to each his/her own.

It isn\'t a bad movie at all.  Wasn\'t what I expected.  Certainly a better view of the Iraqi people than any journalist or filmmaker could get today.  

I think this also brings up what a lot of people forget - when a dictator is removed from power and his totalitarian regime is destroyed there is a power vacuum and as the case lawlessness is rampant and only compounded so by the insurgents.  

I think if most Iraqi\'s think like the people in this film (or the 6 minutes that we can see here) then Iraq will be allright in time.

i think it\'ll be pretty decent for what it is...even in that 6 minute clip, you seen views from both sides of the spectrum...some say life was better under saddam, while others say that despite the violence, life is better with better with saddam gone...

that said there was the one iraqi chic that stated she wanted to be a lawyer...definitely a cutie,and i\'d show her my LONG arm of the law :p....heh,heh i lose some points for bringing down the topic a bit...
