Kudos for knowing what the heck you are talking about, compared to most of the other comments.
I was a little disappointed that the trailer was all action, and didn't give any feeling about the theme. It would've been cool to at least start the trailer with the cobblestone streets and horse-drawn coaches to show that it is the 19th Century, and not the 1930s like it seems based on the car shots. They didn't move it in time, did they??
Everyone's saying this movie is set in Victorian England. Queen Victoria ruled until 1901. That car, and the WWII-style German helmets, don't look "Victorian" to me.
And besides the Victorian anachronisms, why is it never daytime there?
The debate over war in Iraq
Yep. Good versus evil right there, no doubt about it. Well, except for the "good" part.
the neverending saga of Israel & Palestine
Yep, once again it's good versus evil. Well, again, as long as you ignore the requirement for the "good" part.
Why is it that if something or someone is evil (like Palistinian suicide bombers or Saddam Hussien) that makes anyone believe the opposition to those things is morally good?
Iraq is run by a very, very bad man. That does nothing to provide any moral justification for killing another 250,000 iraqis to secure oil rights.
Palistinian suicide bombers are evil. That does nothing to provide any moral justification for imposing martial law on Palistinians in Isreal, and it does not excuse fifty years of condemnable human rights abuses by the Isreali's.
Stop looking at the world as black and white. Because, that point of view forces you to think that anything that's not "quite as evil" must somehow be "good." That way of looking at the world makes you into a moral cripple.
Slashdot is jumping the shark. I'm just driving the boat.
