The Tillman Story (movie review)
« on: February 20, 2011, 10:04:07 PM »
Watched it. It is a documentary and a Government hit piece. Nothing we didn't already know, all in all. Another lame "movie".

I watched it and what kind of struck me is that the Tillman family seems a bit disjointed and disconnected from their sons death. They seem very angry people.....even before Pats death. Pat actually sounded like a liberal to me when they were talking about things he liked to read...Noam
Chomsky??? Also he seemed to think the Iraq war was illegal and unjust. One very disturbing scene in the movie was his memorial service where his brother gets up and pretty much told everyone {drunkenly} that"Pat isn't with God or in Heaven.....He's ****ing dead!" Like i said before they seem a very strange family....kind of emotionally disconnected from each other and very angry. Not sure if that comes from Pats death or if they are just like that normally.
Call me "Asshole" One more time!

Yeah, the entire family seemed a bit "odd".
