Also, it is amazing to see that such a classic film is entertaining people to this very day.

Why's that?

I suppose because they have probably never seen anything like it before



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

No, I mean why do you think it's so amazing that an older film could still entertain? I'm puzzled by that notion, especially since I still enjoy movies that were old when my parents were born.

Afghans are in fact amazing people. I spoke to some, even fell in love with an Afghan girl once ;P you just have to see what lies "behind the curtain"

I think its always wondrous how devastated nations can remain "human" Afghans suffered probably more than any country I know during the last few decades yet its normal to meet some of the most kind and fun to get along with people.


Don't you mean War Torn?...Devastated sounds as if it got hit by multiple natural disasters..

It's very simple. It wasn't an old movie when it came out. People who watched it didn't think "wow, people of the future sure will look back and see how primitive this movie is", to them it was just an entertaining movie.

It entertained people back then, so why shouldn't it now? It's what it was made to do.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I think i worded what i meant to say wrong. I mean the older films are generally better than what we have today i think. I meant to say it's good that they liked it despite the cultural differences (i weren't sure what to expect but it was nice to watch) and proves that if a film is that good, people can forget about what's happening in their own lives for a little while.

Ah, gotcha. I can see that!

It's all good until 5 years down the road they are brainwashed and want death to America.

You know that's just U.S. propaganda right? More americans die of peanut allergies every year than terrorist attacks.

Exactly, and he speaking of people being "brainwashed" is quite ironic.

I'm not saying they all are terrorists but I'm saying many will believe what I just stated. Doesn't mean they actually go through with it.
