In Reply to: "...and of course, the military personnel all speak as 20th Century Americans- accents and idioms" posted by Steve O on January 21, 2010 at 14:46:06:
Using one's freedoms to criticize a free society is as easy as taking candy from a child...and Cameron is rewarded for it with millions of dollars. Now if he was an Iranian or Chinese director making films criticizing the draconian practices of those governments--that would be admirable. Cameron is one of those privileged few who is given the freedom and means to dig within himself and share his vision and what does he choose to share? Demonizing the corporate and military types that ultimately have ensured his freedom and means. I see no value in that. Just a voice that is half guilt complex, half nothing to say.
