The Character you hated the most.
The character i hated the most was the stupid FATASS tourist. So many time I wished Richard has beaten *beep* crap out of him. So selfish.

shareI kinda hated the American kids the most. I dunno why. All they did was scrunch their faces up and cry and whine.
I dunno, maybe I just felt this resentment with them because of poor Amelia not even getting to go to her son's wedding without having to drag the little brats along. Maybe it's not fair on the kids to be mad at them, but I couldn't help it.
Wow, you didn't see the same movie that I saw! I wouldn't get all too worked up about the entertainment industry trying to please you. No need to whine about some character being the way life has kids to be - needy, totally dependent on grownups, scared, & ready to do the healthy & healing thing to do - CRY! IF only all parents would allow their kids to be kids which is MUCH healthier than repressed feeling that adults do. humph.
shareI didn't find any of the characters to be worthy of hate. All of them were doing what they thought was right, in difficult circumstances. Some made foolish decisions, but none were malicious.
Still, the Moroccan police were extremely brutal in their methods, and the US Border Patrol agents were rigid and callous. The Japanese police were presented in a much better light.
The Mexican nephew didn't do right at all. He is very deserving of hate.
Also I find it hard to believe you think the US Border control agents did anything wrong. In fact they were just following the rules. Callous? Since when does a police officer have the right to make up his own version of the law?
Agreed I hated his character, every other character was good
shareYou thought that Richard and Susan Jones thought that leaving their children with a caretaker who is not an American citizen, and RUNNING OFF to sightsee in a foreign, unstable country, is doing the right thing? And you thought that an American man putting his wife in danger, resulting in her being shot, is the right thing?
The nephew was the worst. No doubt.The English tourist was hard to take as well.
People do go on such trips and most of the time it works out. I'm sure they thought they could trust the nanny.They should have been more hands on with the kids I agree but I think they did learn that the hard way. I can cut them some slack.
The "stupid FATASS tourist" had a lot of valid points. He was just a self-appointed group representative trying to look out for the safety of the other tourists. They didn't abandon the couple immediately, but spent quite some time there waiting for the ambulance. They had elderly people on the bus who had health issues made worse by the heat, some requiring medication that they inexplicably did not have with them. There was a valid reasoning that tourists have been killed in many cases in foreign lands without provocation. Of course, my personal opinion is those people should not have put themselves in that position if they were truly afraid of being slaughtered by terrorists or had life-threatening medical conditions they did not apparently consider fully when they decided to go on this trip. Nonetheless, I don't know if I could have left the couple abandoned in this village myself.
shareI also thought that the other tourists certainly had a valid point. They clearly felt sorry about what had happened but feared for their lives. And that older gentleman really didn't seem to be taking the heat too well. Nobody wants to die, it has nothing to do with selfishness (Although I will honestly admit that if MY spouse was dying in some hole in the middle of nowhere I would surely also blame those people for abandoning us. All a matter of perspective).
Anyway, I can't say I had a strong dislike for any of the characters. I didn't like that the Mexican guy was driving drunk and foolishly tried to escape the border police, endangering the woman and the children. I also didn't like when Yossuf started firing at the police, but he was just a scared boy, can't really blame him.
well actually it had everything to do with selfishness but thats just a natural thing, when it comes to a situation like that everyone is prone to simply look out for themselves
and everyone simply did think about themselves in that scene - the british tourist wanted to get back for his own safety, the wife of the ill husband wanted to get back for their own safety, the other british couple wanted to get back for their kids whilst brad pitts character didnt care much about their pleas and wanted them all to stay and wait with him and his wife
its selfish yes but it happens, in the end everyone only cares about themselves and their own family.
Innit
You're right, I actually worded that wrong. It IS selfish, what I meant to say is that one can't really blame people for thinking this way since self-preservation is, as you pointed out, completely natural.
shareAt first I disliked Brad Pitt's character for telling Amelia to cancel the wedding, but then I understood as the movie went on.
shareI thought the guys acted like *beep* when they found out the girls were deaf. It's one thing to lose interest but their smug looks pissed me off. I felt so bad for that girl, I was waiting for her to kill herself the whole last 20 minutes of the film.
shareall characters are more disgusting than the others, it's impossible to tell which one i can hate more.
i mostly will not be able to answer your reply, since marissa mayer hacked my email, no notification

Most of the characters were idiots who made stupid decisions, so its pretty hard to like any of them.

I hated the nanny. She was selfish and just plain dumb. After all those years of raising the kids she still decides to head down to Mexico AFTER, their mom is shot and recovering in a Moroccan hospital, she is illegally in the country, she never met a single family member that could care for the kids in case of emergency, AND allowed her drunk armed nephew to drive them across the border both ways. Everyone else was just uninteresting.
shareAgreed. I thought I'd be alone with this one. Such a female, indulgent, and short sighted stupidity. She just wasn't going to be denied and risked everything without balancing the risk/reward. Deserved to lose her citizenship and I have no empathy. Although... I have to admit... I know a lot of women that would have done the same thing.
