Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Well you know, it's not quite perfect. For a movie set in Morocco, not too many Maghrebin in the main cast, which also adds a bit of hypocritical bitterness in the pivotal La Marseillaise scene. It's a powerful moment of resistance against the nazis, but also they're singing the French national anthem in a colonial protectorate of France.

It's an all-time classic, but we shouldn't get carried away and ignore its flaws.
