By the '50s and '60s, war movies had become big and impersonal. They almost never bothered to characterize the Japanese enemy as particularly evil; in fact, they never bothered to characterize him at all.
People go to movies on Saturday to get away from the war in Iraq and taxes and election news and pedophiles online and just go and have some fun. I like doing movies that are fun.
I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.
Thor: Loki, turn off the Tesseract or I will destroy it! Loki: You can't! There's no stopping it. There is only the war! Thor: So be it!
And it says something about our level of disassociation, that we can provoke these wars abroad but we're not allowed to see people get killed as a result.
Is it not better for a man to die for a cause in which he believes, such as peace, than to suffer for a cause in which he does not believe, such as war?
I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.
I'm not a follower of this or that religious leader. More wars are started because of religious leaders, and people are following and they don't know why... That is religiosity. That is what turns people into robots.
Does giving your piece of mind, bring a peace of mind? Or is it better to be silent and let the war inside subside?
War – conflict where people are made to kill to live. Caused by less than 1% of a population – and experienced by the rest.
I'm less of a 'Star Wars' fan, with googley monsters, than actually how do we bend this reality out, and how many other realities exist?
I wish that I had bridged the feminist movement and the anti-war movement better than I did.
War is not the continuation of politics with different means, it is the greatest mass-crime perpetrated on the community of man.
In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power, unrestricted and unregulated armaments, international anarchy, and preparation for war.
War, we are told, shapes character; it resolves the major questions of international politics, consolidates nations, and indeed, constitutes the principal factor in the progress of civilization through its successive stages.
The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined.
Of course I would never compare myself to someone who actually went through a war, but I definitely matured shooting 'The Pacific.' I'm more calm and I have more patience.
I see lots of cycles, for sure. There's the whole post-Star Wars era, but I don't think it's the whole story.
I have served in the Congress during two wars and I have seen the impacts on our military, on their families and on our national deficit.
I've lived through a war. I've seen burning corpses on the road side. And yes, I will tell you, peace is the only way out.
In modern fantasy (literary or governmental), killing people is the usual solution to the so-called war between good and evil.
