| vaio said: But the same tension is at work here as in Metal Gear Solid 4: the director is telling us that war is hell, but he is also showing us how exciting it is. In MGS4, war is the toy itself, by design. And when Rambo transforms from sulky boat-punter into the implacable killing machine of old, the audience shivers in pleasure even as it winces at the close-ups of bullets ripping flesh. |
I remember an interview with the man who translated the first Metal Gear Solid for the West. He was asked if there were all that many differences, translation-wise, between Metal Gear Solid and Twin Snakes, and he answered that there was only one real line changed: it went from "war isn't glamorous" to "war isn't good", because the cutscenes showed that Snake's mission was pretty damn glamorous...
