Perfect illustration of American arrogance; a ‘discussion’ at gunpoint. Why America is so unpopular in many parts of the world.
Really nice. Makes the top 3 in futureshorts easily. I was sure it says something like that in the back when i saw a glimpse that there was some writing on the backside.
What a great short and final twist…
Reminds me of Evelyn Beatrice Hall’s quote [Misatributed to Voltaire]: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
powerful…
zabet2, I think you missed the whole point of the movie.
“God is dead” is the quote from Nietzsche.
Great film. Great film. I’m from Texas myself and a firm believer in the American Dream and patriotism and this spoke to me. I’m living in Germany with the military and I receive the same kind of pressures that were depicted in this film. One thing to add though, perhaps it would have been better to use color, to show the contrast of the two flags and the shirt, drinks ect could have their own meaning. Great film thought, 5/5
i want that shirt.
Loved everything! Especially the twist at the end!
Very interesting, well thought of. Nice delivery. In God we trust! Does he trust us?

Netolerantnym vhod zakazan!
What a twist!
Pretty good. Just shows how a little misunderstanding can end.
i am not really pro violence but this film really does a great job in portrait the how the ignorance and lack of tolerance of some people brings suffering to the world, today. we are living in a great age, lets use the information and knowledge we have. great film.
Fuckin’ awesome! 5/5
google it. Or visit Wikipedia. Everyone in EU knows Nietzsche
its a lie, it should be “There is no God” instead “god is dead”
Acting like an idiot, just because one choose to feel insultet, sometimes backfires.
Brilliant film - great atmosphere.
You could have just as easily typed that into google.
what does Nietzsche mean? i dont get it!
great message, portrayed well
