War is not some sort of Nintendo video game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Combat is a piece of war. But war is a totalizing, uncivilized experience.
War is not a thing one wants.
War is an arena for the display of courage and virtue. Or war is politics by other means. War is a quasi-mystical experience where you get in touch with the real. There are millions of narratives we impose to try to make sense of war.
In real life, it's war, and war's not entertainment. War is 'old men lying and young men dying' kind of deal. That's a saying; I didn't make that up.
War is not an academic exercise.
I think it would be impossible to make a movie about video games if there wasn't some violence that we know from video games.
This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.
War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.
War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent.
This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.
