Isn't much of this conversation parallel to what was discussed in the thread about zombies? It seems that some sort of dehumanization is taking place in all of these settings (I, too, have seen True Lies many times--more than I wanted,but it was on AMC and somehow I ended it up watching it repeatedly). I don't believe I've seen Unforgiven, though I thought I'd seen just about every Clint Eastwood movie at some point.
In a tangentially related vein (or maybe completely unrelated), I just finished reading _The Warmth of Other Suns_ about the Great Migration of African Americans from the South during the first half of the 20th century. I think what shocked me most of all was how naive I had been growing up during a portion of that time period. I was and am dismayed about how strongly I believed in a just world as a young person. Now I'm just an older cynic. I wholly recommend the book. Carol Carol L.
