Just another case of the UNCULTURE, UNTHINKING, LIVING in HIS OWN WORLD, TYPICAL AMERICAN . (no disrespect intended.) This was not an AMERICAN movie, thus ideas, pictures portrayed, and stories being told, will not conform to the TYPICAL AMERICAN IDEALS. I think Robin Williams doing a Don Rickles type routine on a special a fews years back said it best when he said (wearing a sony walkman), "This time we won't even need Pearl Harbor, you won't even here us coming." mark. ps. if the shoe fits .....
