  It would be better to have war crimes trials to show how fucked up specific wars are.

  Being able to make movies showcasing your past crimes is not a sign of a healthy society…

    Again, this is not the government typically making these movies. It’s artists which are horrified by war.

  Who is “we” and what are “our” goals? Those definitions will answer your question quickly enough.

  All movies that glorify military violence should be treated cautiously even if the overall message is anti-war. Take Apocalypse Now. What will some people remember? The helicopters, Wagner, napalm in the morning. That’s not saying there’s no value in such movies, though.

    We: filmmakers

    Their goals: shine a light on how fucked war is. I cannot actually remember watching a war movie that didn’t make me deeply saddened by the brutality. Apocalypse now is a perfect example.
