The flag at the end...


why was it shown with such dramatic effect? American propaganda?

reply

Naturally the flag is pro-American propaganda. I find less fault with it because its expected, even though it is a waste of physical effort. I doubt people would be risking their own lives further just to deploy this flag.

What really stuck out to me, as brain-washing propaganda that is used on its own citizens, was all the police and fire fighters that were instantly responding to injuries just as they were happening and while the 2nd large earthquake is still taking place. That is there to reinforce the idea that the government gives a damn about its citizens, tell that to the victims of Katrina.

Haha, what is funny is that I watched the whole movie and I kept wondering why there weren't any American flags visible. Usually in these movies you see a American flag with dramatic patriotic music playing as the camera circles around it.. with a eagle flying nearby.

But yeah, believe me when I say that I ended up laughing out loud the moment they FINALLY showed not one but two flags in similar manner one scene after another.

I am starting to think they just want the world to know that the movie was made in America, the greatest nation on the planet USA.

Typically American crap.

The flag was shown so all you idiots bashing it realize how free you are to write anti-american crap on here.

If I watched a German movie and saw them hoist the German flag I would be ok. If I watched a Russian movie and saw them hoist the Russian flag I would be ok, and etc.

Its funny watching a bunch of paranoid Amerophobes think that a Flag in a Cheesy Disaster movie is some kind of propaganda. Or Flag Waving is only an American Thing. Like You wont see it in None-American Movies. Because i have seen it in None-American Movies (aka The Sinking of Japan). Too me your just a bunch of retards looking to bitch about how Americans are now the new Nazis. Because it had 2 seconds of a Flag. That didn't have no secret message or even made a political statement. America dose have its problem. Like every Nations. You know like Europe's problem with Muslim terrorist killing Cartoonist. You Know America might be full of Redneck Gun Nuts. But on the plus side, when Muslim terrorist try that in America, They get shot. But if you hate America so much. Then please don't bothering watching American Movies. There your Flag Waving problem is solved. Have fun watching Reruns of Benny Hill and "Are you being served". Wait until China is making all your movies. You'll be seeing there flag a lot more.

It was there to spawn yet another inane debate/argument on IMDB. Mission accomplished. 
