Reasons Why A Film Like '24hrs' Should Be Banned by cutebobo(m): 12:00am On Mar 08, 2015
I still dont understand why a film like this is not banned. if u carefully notice from the first season till the current season, they are promoting terrorism. Why on earth will they make such a film so real when some part of the world is being affected. Come to think of it, if the islamic terrorist are watching this movie, what do u think is happening? they are gaining lot from it in terms of the skills and so many ideas not known to them before.
'24hrs' is not only the film promoting such act, one bad example is also 'strike back'. i really don't feel comfortable anytime i stumble into films like this. its as if they showing reality show. Please guys, say something about it.

You don't get it. They are trying to tell you good will always prevail over evil at the end no matter how it starts or goes on. Jack baker always sends the terrorists to their grave or to kirikiri prison for their terrorist offence. Terrorists should bear it in mind they will end 7 like terrorists in 24. I love that series to the core. Still my best.

the western world would never give u current trends

they are two steps ahead..

so it would be at the misfortune of terrorists if they learnt from movies..

white house down, olympus has fallen.. are examples.

it would be laughable if terrorists tried that.

The movie 24 has taught me to always be on the alert and think ahead. I am now more cautious of people around me and my environment especially on security matters.

It pays to see the movie because you will be more enlightened.

First of all, let's define the term 'To Promote'. Urban dictionary defines the term as to support or actively encourage. Now, let's try to solve the theme of 24 using this definition:

24 is a TV show, where the plot revolve around two things: good vs evil. Evil invariably sets out to destroy, while Good always save the day at the tenth hour. The show's aims were simple: To let the audience know how the world works, to let 'em know what motivates the terrorist, and most importantly, why they (terrorist) must be stopped by any means possible. That's not promoting, bro, that's creating AWARENESS. 24 is a show specifically created to educate, instruct as well as entertain the audiences - It's theme being COUNTER-TERRORISM and all.

If it were intended to promote terrorism, then, Evil would have been at the protagonist role, Good the antagonist, and the theme would be only 'Terrorism', instead of 'Counter-Terrorism'.

Don't write what you don't know, bro.
