IF This Film were Made Today, how it would be...?
This movie was made back in the 80's when russia was basically USA's enemy #1.
Hence, The Afghan resistance fighters r shown as honourable, vengeful yet merciful heroes (as indeed they were).
HOWEVER...If this movie were made today by hollywood (considering USA's current war campaigns)..... how would those fighhters have been portrayed??
My guess is... dirty, unshaven, 2-foot long beard, with hook-noses, and dark circles under their eyes......saying things like "dirka dirka mohammed jihad".
and most likely...they wouldve been speaking in Arabic not Pashtu.... since hollywood doesnt bothering researching anymore (Watch "Homeland Security"), coz they r all the same dirty towel-heads right?
Probably even add in a touch of wife-beating or slapping around an innocent western girl.
