that talks about a lot of tension and problems he faced in filming.

it's really difficult to argue that the film was masking anything especially since the goal of the film was looking at a personal/introspective voyage based on a book that was originally set in world war I. all the other stuff just sort of came up out of circumstance. furthermore, people of different cultures are used to portray cultures other than their own all the time. does forrest whitaker portraying idi amin or don cheadle playing a rwandan make it any less authentic? not really.
