One of the central ideas in one of Staley Kubrick's masterpiece is to be restored to the film's detail page on Prime Video, after its disappearance caused an uproar.
It is so hypocritical that we’re constantly told violence and confrontation is never the answer. Laws are passed making it illegal to even defend ourselves. And then 90% of the movies and TV shows are about the glorification of crime, and violence, often with egregious gun usage.
They even made a free video game for this purpose. But I don’t understand how anyone playing America’s Army would conclude that they want to join the Army. You die several times per day.
Also not realistic. Where’s going to sleep at 11pm then waking up at 2am to prepare for a convoy that leaves at 6am? Where’s loading a radio repeatedly because it keeps losing freqs? Where’s kicking hummvee tires and checking the oil and calling it good only for it to break down 3 miles down the road?
It’s one of the dumbest things about American culture.
We have such unique choices about what is acceptable and what isn’t in our entertainment.
Curse words? Bad.
Violence? Okay.
Nipple? Bad.
Guns? Okay.
Yeah but remember the 80’s where cartoons couldn’t have any real violence in them at all?
He-man Thundercats. Hell Transformers only got away with the violence level it did because they were robots shooting lasers.

The people who make movies are not the same people who make laws.
It’s not arbitrary. Guns and violence are okay because America wants to normalize them joining the army and using them for their imperialism.

Can’t even call a toilet a toilet. It’s a bathroom or restroom.
Americans use the word toilet. It’s the thing you sit on, not the room itself.
