The Dictator, Thoughts on Democracy and Muslim movie

Great movie. IMO, out of control

I wanted to point out that this movie probably should of offended more during its release than Innocence of Muslim. The difference is that the dictator offended the cultural aspect of Middle east. While Innocence of Muslim offended religion, Islam, which is the culture of the middle east

Thoughts?

Tbh from my pov, that movie is just pointing out a exaggerated western view on dictators.
As far as ive been able to read up on gadaffi he seemed like a good man.
Also ive been trying to find videos of "anti-gadaffi, and pro-gadaffi" demonstrations...
And there always seems to be alot more attending the pro-gadaffi round abouts.

The dictator just shows its point in a exaggerated way.
Like south park does in alot of their episodes, if u look past all their nonsence they have some true and good messages.

Havent been able to find any bad stuff on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad either.

Ali-g was ok
Borat made me laugh so hard a little bit of wee came out
Bruno didn't bother to watch

But this could be genious

Not a fail, I completely understand where you are coming from.
Although I would be led to believe that it was made more to offend us then them.

I'm not offended by anything, and I actually found the movie to have some funny parts in it.

It's certainly art imitating reality in a way.. a lot of stuff he says truly makes sense in double speak.
