TB17 0 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 good movie, quite sad, just one q, was there any more significance to the marble besides it being sort of a calling card for hamza? Also it seemed like a lot of the movie was cut, it didnt flow in the beginning very well, or near the end. Link to post Share on other sites

Same with the nails and screws they find Link to post Share on other sites

Also it seemed like a lot of the movie was cut, it didnt flow in the beginning very well, or near the end.SPOILERS The significance of the marble was that when the FBI girl recognized the marble from the bombs, they realized that they had caught the big kahuna (sp). I just saw it, and I thought it was absolutely amazing. Some political jabs but not too distracting. I'll go see it in the theater again.Best line - Jamie Foxx "I told her we're gonna kill 'em all."

eYank 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 yeah but the marbles are used in bombs as projectiles but yeah your right too Link to post Share on other sites
TB17 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 SPOILERS The significance of the marble was that when the FBI girl recognized the marble from the bombs, they realized that they had caught the big kahuna (sp). Nah I figured that out, I thought there was some other hidden meaning to it, like it represented something. Link to post Share on other sites
Jeepster80125 0 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Nah I figured that out, I thought there was some other hidden meaning to it, like it represented something.I don't think it had any other meaning than to tie that family and three finger apu to the bombings. There were several instances of the marbles being found or noticed during the movie. Again, I think they just tied everything together.Please don't let my 12th grade English teacher see this post.

Suited_Up 2 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Great, great movie!It's rare nowadays that you have a movie that's good, start to finish and doesn't try to be overly funny or hokey or have something stand out that you have to say "Well, if you get past this..."Good stuff.

Jennings7 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Watched this movie last night. Nothing special. I think it would have been better if I saw it on the big screen though. Peter Berg is a good director but he shouldn't use the wobbly camera so much, it just seems like such a wimpy way to film action scenes. "Let's just wobble the camera really fast and hope it looks like a sweet action shot". Link to post Share on other sites
