Hey, It's Only A Movie!

CNN reports:

ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) -- In the most expensive Turkish movie ever made, American soldiers in Iraq crash a wedding and pump a little boy full of lead in front of his mother.

They kill dozens of innocent people with random machine-gun fire, shoot the groom in the head, and drag those left alive to Abu Ghraib prison -- where a Jewish doctor cuts out their organs, which he sells to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv.

"Valley of the Wolves Iraq" -- set to open in Turkey on Friday -- feeds off the increasingly negative feelings many Turks harbor toward their longtime NATO allies: Americans.

The movie, which reportedly cost about $10 million (euro 8.3 million), is a work of fiction and does not purport to level allegations against American troops. It is part of a genre of popular culture in Turkey that demonizes the United States.

The film comes on the heels of a novel, "Metal Storm," about a war between Turkey and the U.S., which has been a best-seller for months.

Well, whaddaya know, a movie that dares to demonize the American military -- and it's not even made in Hollywood. What's the world coming to?

Actually, reading the first couple of paragraphs of the above article I thought it was a remake of Team America: World Police and the troops would be singing "America, F*** Yeah!"

What is interesting here is the fact that the most virulent anti-American propaganda pales in comparison with what our cultural elites say about ourselves. The only "transgressive" image in the whole thing would appear to be the Jewish doctor [there are still some taboos in modern America].
