In Reply to: Maybe I am misunderstanding you but stereotypes do not come from movies posted by Analog Scott on December 26, 2006 at 16:51:24:
but I certainly understand your point.Ever see any clips of Hitler's propaganda films on Jews on History Channel or TLC? Powerful stereotypes created and made believable by constant repetition.
This film is carelessly bad stereotyping since it was meant for an international audience.
(Oh, I forgot about it showing my how simple-minded and brutal Muslims are.)

Interesting that you saw Muslims as being portrayed as brutal and simple-minded. Seemed to me the guy helping Brad Pitt was anything but. In fact no one in that village came off as either brutal or simple minded to me. Did tyhey really come off that way to you? The kids were, well, kids. their father was a bit brutal but i think with that group the featured disconnect was between the father and his kids. Not a particlularly Muslim thing. The government agents were ceertainly brutal but I think that is simply often the truth with agents of monarchies. Again, not something exclusive to Muslims. You'd see that fro real in many other african nations. You know the non-Islamic ones. So I gues I don't see stereotyping here. I see many people of each nationality clearly NOT being played as the stereotypes you are seeing.
The kids were stone simple, dad was harsh and brutal, the police were beyond brutal willing to shoot kids dead without blinking.Everybody gets a black eye in this one.
