Newyork (2009)..Did the movie humanize terrorists? - Page 2

Yes, I understand that this can be disturbing... it's a bit similar when women fall in love with certain very violent criminals who spend time in prisons - to me, too, it's disturbing.

Anyways, terrorists should at least always get punished/killed.

Dil Se showed how even sensible humans can get dragged into terrorism by what they had to endoure... the SRK character really tried to hinder her to become one (she hadn't yet killed anybody)... he sensed that she had explosives on her body (a suicide killing), so he prefered to die with her instead of allowing her to kill other people (except him). It was a movie strictement against terrorism.

Never saw that movie and i am glad i did not. What about Dil Se? That dealt with terrorism too..i guess Manisha was one? Never saw that one as well but thats what i heard

Dil se was hard to understand. Yeah Manisha was terrorist and that movie too kinda humanized terrorists.

There was another movie Maachis but that movie showed if you walk on the wrong path you are bound to face the consequences.

That wasn't my impression, though... the terrorists who dragged the Manisha character into terrorism to make her a suicide killer hadn't been shown with sympathy but to manipulate her into revenge...and then, she couldn't leave them anymore because she couldn't quit the group/was attatched to that group.

In real life most of the terrorists r trained from childhood n they live in a troubled environment so killing becomes normal for them. Imagine instead of reading books u r given guns to shoot n taught how ur ppl were tortured so how would u know what's wrong n what's right.

Not all terrorist have same sad back story because they r brainwashed to think there is a life after death n this life is just a test. These terrorist dies n ppl sitting on top earns billions who were masterminds.

If terrorism ends what will happen to billionaire dollars weapon industry. Why do u think USA keeps on doing wars across the globe. First they earn through war then through terrorism. In global media they say country needs democracy after war it becomes a terrorist state for them.

Tortures also lead to ppl becoming terrorist which happened in case of ISIS. Lakhs of ppl were killed n 60k women were raped in Iraq. What will be the mindset of children born in those times n who saw everything.

In movies main character if shown is villain then only back sad story is put otherwise when they r just villain then no backstory. They r just greedy or power hungry or psycho. How was jaskirat's case any different from what manisha went through in Dil se n john in new york.

Even in Dhurandhar they tried to show Rahman n Iqbal as softie at home n have some sad back story of torture because Director gave equal importance to villains..

Bollywood movies have always glorified terrorists because of their connections with Dawood

Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam movies glorify both Naxals and terrorists due to influence of communists and Islamists

People who read books and consider themselves intelligent read Arundhati Roy who has defended and glorified every kind of terrorism and violence for years

Support for terrorists is actually a very "woke" thing to do

But then why in recently released dhurandhar jaskirat killed all men in his enemy's family that too with AK 47. Was it act of terrorism or just revenge.

I think no human has any right to kill any other human

Only God can kill any human not any human

Yes some ppl suffer a lot

Like i watched Mission Kashmir as kid

Yes Sanjay dutt had killed Hrithik family by mistake

Yes Sanjay dutt was wrong

That do not mean Hrithik become a terrorist to take revenge

and what does he do kill the lady who is his mother who took care of him after his family is over

Do not forgive Sanjay Dutt but why kill his wife

Not all are great to forgive

By that logic most Ukrainians must have hatred of Russians and kill them

Or most Jews should kill Germans

Or most Palestinians must kill Isreal jews

You must understand that this war is between Israel government and hamas a militant organization

Its not between Palestinian citizens and Israel commoners

Commoners cannot decide any policy its govt that decides

So why attack or kill commoners who listens to them anyways

Instead if your family is killed go help old age home ppl and kids who are orphans live better life you will get peace and happiness

Your family will be proud of you in heaven seeing you have become a good human than go around killing other party innocents

This war is not between israel n hamas this was is for making greater israel. A state only for jews who have been ousted from 100+ countries in past. Jews is the most tortured community in history so they feel they should have a country for themselves so no one throws them out n hence the genocide of gaza ppl is done.
