I read some web posts saying that his Jewishness only comes up in the later part of the film when he contrasts his faith with that of the maverick American officer, Billy Zane, who is a crazy evil evangelical Christian. It was said that the movie bashed Christianity more than Judaism.Originally Posted by AdrianII
But regardless, the whole Jewish doctor steals organs thing is just too close to the nastiest anti-semitic tales for my liking. Soly has a stronger stomach than I.
As to the topic of Turkey's "humiliation", isn't it a sign of a dangerously insecure and nationalistic mood that the arrest of 11 people can be seen as a country's greatest humiliation? The Iranians bagged a bunch of British troops on the Iraqi border a year or two back and it hardly registered a flicker on the richter scale with the UK public. I mean losing an Empire might be a national humiliation (or, in these politically correct days, maybe having created one in the first place is the true blot on the national copy book). I can even see losing a land war in Asia as causing a scarr on the patriotic pysche. But just having 11 special ops soldiers arrested...???![]()
