Four Lions

Meer oor hierdie fliek

Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that - while terrorism is about ideology - it can also be about idiots.
MPAA Rating: R for language throughout, including some sexual references

Quite enjoyable, but not quite perfect. The humor is definitely dark, but if that's your cup of tea you'll enjoy it tremendously. The conversation is a bit difficult to pick up completely to an untrained ear, so the captions are a welcome addition.

This is one of the best ways to counter the root cause of Islamic Terrorism to who the stupidity as it actually exists. The real struggle is the same as Nazism, Communism, Anarchism or any ideology that counters the basic Truth of life. We were made by a creator (all of us) some of us come to faith and others are still on a journey. Our rights with faith which could be any religion, atheism, socialism, capitalism or even science "theories" should extend no further than the reach of our arm and our lives. We are here to love each other and make ourselves better. Once we step beyond this basic truth we are acting on the "lies" which I am convince come from a great deceiver. Everyone on this planet has a hard road to travel and charity should be honored and arrogance/violence ridiculed. The whole birth of political Islam, ISIS, Al Qaeda is nothing more than worshiping a past that did not exist and creating a future where free will and love no longer exist. Virtue is the choice of temptation and choosing in everything to do good and become a better neighbor, son, father, brother etc. We are able to know people and ideologies by their actions and we again see evil in the world.

So sad I only found out about this a few days ago! So funny
