IbrahimMav: You're the dumb one here, the jets used in the movies are real life jets with real life capabilities but you chose to throw it all out the window and digest the shit they spoonfed you like a hungry trash baby. 6 Likes |

IbrahimMav: Hmm. Is top gun based on fiction though? All the fighters exist, the countries exist, top gun school exists. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by IbrahimMav: 10:30pm On Sep 14, 2022 |
GloriousGbola: I assume you're playing the devil's advocate, so i'll bite. The jetfighters, the countries, and top gun school are real, yes. However, being based on real life doesn't in any way undermine a fictitious element. Fiction by definition is something possible but not true. Where as fantasy = fiction, fiction ≠ fantasy. Many fictions are based on real life but their plots are fictitious, and this is where it matters. Can you draw historical parallels to the plot lines of the Top Gun movies? If you can, I'll humbly submit an apology for my grave error, But if you can't, then I see no reason why you would even attempt this question. 5 Likes |

IbrahimMav: I concur. For example, Ted Lasso has real life elements like the character is inspired by a real person, but the story itself is a work of fiction. |

pu7pl3: Lol, bro is basically grappling at straws. Got no real point to prove than to deploy strawman tactics. I didn't want to go on the numerous discrepancies on the movie and just focus on the few technicalities of it. And dude is thinking I'm badmouthing the movie. How come they can hit the runway conveniently with Tomahawks and didn't think it wise to use the same missiles for the site without needing to use costly trained pilots and expensive jets. That's basically the job of cruise missiles. To follow terrain, move slower than normal attack missiles, stay low and evade common radars, way cheaper and safer. How Maverick and Rooster conveniently went back into a site they just bombed and no interception could get into a jet sitting somewhere waiting for them. The jet was even conveniently armed and ready for takeoff with fuel inside. |

abduleez1: If this was a Nolan film I'm sure you'll see arm chair scientists and military startegists creeping out of the Woodworks to come and reduce the ratings because of the many technical fallacies but woe betide you to do that to beloved Cruise, dear America's sweetheart or you're very pro Russia 2 Likes 2 Shares |

pu7pl3: Don't mind the dude. In his bid to quickly discredit "Pro Russian" sentiments dude didn't know this movie is clearly based on past history and real life. In fact, Top Gun: Maverick is basically an adaptation of what happened over 40yrs ago and still happens or could happen in the future. Just with different actors, jets and countries this time. I just dey wait for GloriousGbola to clear him eyes first, because no be me him ask question. If he can't, then I'll just do the needful and wipe that Capitalist smug ego outta his @ss. |

There's some kind of bully alliance going on in this section. It has been going on for some time now. This alliance comprises of Kaycee7, Abduleez1, pu7pl3, and GloriousGbola. If you fight one, the rest will team up and bully you into submission, so I'm advicing everyone to stop engaging with these guys. They exhibit a hive behaviour that's as horrible as it's fascinating. Not cool. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

abduleez1: Of course, it's a propaganda movie. Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter But every major movie market is guilty of this, so why the rather harsh take on the this one? Our hero, his employers, and his students, all agreed that it is an "impossible" task. The thing with fictional tales that involves heroic acts is that they are replete with hyperboles - exagerations. This is the ingredient that makes the mundane look extraordinary. You know this. We all need a dash of the extraordinary in our lives, hence our love for fictional movies, books, etc, and yes super heroes Me thinks you protest too much. Makes me wonder if what irks you is beyond the movie. 4 Likes |

one of the ironies in top gun is that in real life, it was probably tom cruise pushing for val kilmer just as iceman was pushing for maverick in the movie. real life role reversal. val kilmer had a bad rep back in the day as a prima donna - and the man spent years out of the spotlight, putting on mad weight. meanwhile tom cruise is now one of the most powerful actors in hollywood. the irony. who would have thought the dark haired midget would wind up being the bigger star? make i sort my spell check before pu7pl3 bitch slaps my grammer 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 8:21am On Sep 15, 2022 |
IbrahimMav: Ahem, shall we begin..... This movie is actually based on an Israeli/Iranian operation against an Iraqi nuclear facility in 1981. It is also known as Operation Opera. F-16s and F-15 Eagles were used to bomb the facility. This was a preemptive strike against Iraq or any other Arab state acquiring nuclear capability in the region. This event partly has ramifications for Iraq's quest for nuclear power leading to the all popular "There are WMDs in Iraq"!! Thus leading to Big Sam's historical Operation Desert Storm as we know it. Also as recent as 2020/2021 Israeli forces destroyed parts of Iran's Natanz facility using cruise missiles. I'll be waiting for that apology post haste. 2 Likes 3 Shares

DrDax: This benevolence of merely looking at it as a fictional tale was not shown to Chinese similar movies in the past. Battle at Lake Changjing was mostly brought down for simply being a propaganda movie even though the story was as engaging as Top Gun and the visual effects and blockbuster action was up to par. The technicalities was brought to the fore here. So this case shouldn't be any different. Peace out. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Someone drop rating and then you and your Calibrating pal came together to rubbish the points even when you can't back your claims with evidence. It wasn't ganging up on someone when you both were enjoying yourselves. Brought you for accountability and now you feel attacked. How convenient. If can't stand the heat, then get outta the fvvking kitchen. You weren't being combative but found it easy labelling someone Pro Russian because his rating and views differs from yours just because of a movie. Let's continue the clown show. Well, they say Vawulence dey sweet when you aren't at the receiving end. Now let's call Forbes pro Russian. It's not as if I rated the movie poorly sef. How you dey expect my rating metrics to align with yours dey baffle me. 4 Likes 1 Share
