电影英雄上映, 此地的影评普遍叫好, Roger Ebert 给它三个半星, 我只好摇头叹气. 反而是平时让我又气又笑的Stephen Hunter说出了让我点头同意的话:
But, the tyrant argues, it's better that way. So the movie, in the end, endorses his right of conquest and unification on the grounds that fewer people will die than if the six nations continued to war against one another. To make an omelet, one must break some eggs, though nobody ever pays too much attention to the poor eggs. That's the justification of all tyrants -- tyrants in nations and tyrants in offices: Do it my way so there's less conflict. Obey me and it'll be better. Why do all this fighting against me; peace through conquest.
好聪明的借口啊, Bush一党人拿来"解放"伊拉克人民, 应该请人翻拍此片哪.
