Does the film 'London has fallen' not sit well with anyone else?

[T*]

I don't really enjoy seeing my home country being destroyed even if it is for a movie
Like
It really doesn't sit well with me especially since we've had events such as 7/7 and even now a looming terror threat

Am I being stupid for thinking this film is really quite insensitive?

[Scarlett.]

We've seen America destroyed in countless films, even after 9/11. It's just a film, and it's pretty cool that its set in the United Kingdom for a change.

[RichardG]

I haven't heard of it until now but I just watched a trailer and thought it looked super cool

It's just a film

I can't wait to see it, Olympus Has Fallen was amazing.

I think you're being over sensitive

Plus it's actually a sequel to a film in which this happens

[Kazanne]

I liked Olympus has Fallen and am looking forward to this one,I see no problem,it's just a movie.:shrug:

This.

As long as it isn't a Film based on a disaster like 9/11 or the Titanic it doesn't bother me really as it is only fictional.

[Toy Soldier]

Yeah... Compare the number of Hollywood films featuring Britain being potentially destroyed vs the number with the US being destroyed. It's not like they discriminate, they usually fictionally blow up their own country :joker:

[Niamh.]

It's just a film Tom :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

The last time I went to south london it looked like it had already been destroyed

Its a Film
that could become real.

It has nothing to with 7/7
its more up to date

[Glenn.]

The only gripe I have with it is that's it's about the American president being hunted in our country

[Niamh.]

Why would you have a gripe with that?

[Josy]

Don't see the problem, it's a movie..

That makes sense
Killing the USA President
is top of Terrorists lists

[Toy Soldier]

Yeah, why would the leader of another country ever be in London? I can't be 100% sure, but as far as I know that's only ever happened once before. When President-Bob Thornton got served by PM Grant after he tried to touch up Tiffany.

OH SNAP HUGH!! OH SNAP!

[Glenn.]

Why would you have a gripe with that?

When I heard they were doing a London has Fallen I wanted the queen to be under attack

[Niamh.]

ah ok

[Toy Soldier]

When I heard they were doing a London has Fallen I wanted the queen to be under attack

The Queen? What exactly would "fall" if the Queen, or in fact the entire Royal Family, was to be taken out? :shrug:

"Oh no help help! They've taken out some rich folks and life will carry on exactly as before! :worry: "

[Marsh.]

How is it insensitive?

If that was the case no war/disaster movies would be made.

It's different because this one is your home country what about the rest of the world?

[JoshBB]

I don't think you are stupid to find it insensitive, I remember seeing a gif of big ben being exploded (im assuming from this movie). If it's terrorism-related, then very bad timing. But it is just a movie, thank god. :)

When wouldn't be "bad timing"? Terrorism is as old as civilisation, Josh.

[Marsh.]

Yeah it's like saying you can't have a film with murder or guns or death or natural disaster etc etc because it's so relevant. It's always relevant somewhere in the world.

[Kazanne]

Yes Your Star is in that

:evilgrin: Can't wait to see it arista.:wavey:
