Rendition
I just finished watching the movie rendition, and I am really, really pissed. These are my rants after watching the movie. These rants are not really about the movie; the movie is decent. These rants are ignited by the movie, and fueled by earlier happenings today.
Americans, American government, and the culture is ignorant about anything outside it's borders. No, ignorance is a nice word. Let me say stupid, residing at a rock bottom of 7 levels of a stupidity hell. As stupid as an autistic turtle.
All Hollywood's movies show a deep screwed up understanding of the Middle East, Arabs, and Islam. I can say that because I've seen the real image. Ok, not only the movies. The culture, the public, the educated public, second generations, they are all sucked up in the whole fuggin American Exceptionalist culture. For four and a half years here now, I hear it in every persons voice tone; it's "we" and "them." Who is "them?" It's every none American. America and the rest of the world.
What pisses me the most is this; if you claim to be a world leader, wont you know something about the not leaders! It's like me saying, "I won and they lost." How did I win? "Well, because I am stronger than them and I can bench more than them." How much do they bench? "Why the hell should I know? I am the best. They suck!"
I go to UT, supposedly a great educational institution. I, also, meet everyday very smart people, or that's what they said. They can give you the I'm-smartass attitude and argue about things fulla crap. Make fun of all other countries and cultures as if god made only America. If I ask one educated question, people usually stumble in their shoes and mumble about they are "white and dunno nothing outside America." Then effin shut the hell up.
Here is another thing. If you watch TV, non Americans, celebrities, come on interviews or stuff. They always say, "I'm sorry for my English!" I think,"DUDE .. THEY want to talk to you. You are being nice and talking to them in their language cuz they are probably idiots and can't speak anything except English. Crying out loud, don't apologize!"
America claims to be a free country; country of freedom. I honestly believe it's a country free of culture. In some sense, may be that is their culture. Just leave the rest of the world alone.
