Doesn't mean they're not worth making. Full Metal Jacket springs to mind (anyone wanting to go to war after watching that really is nuts.)

Besides, a film doesn't have to be actively anti- war. Better to honestly depict both sides, ie the horror and the (occasional) necessity of warfare and let people make up their own minds.

What annoys me are action/ war/ Bruce Willis type films which show people walking away virtually unhurt from bullet wounds / car smashes / exploding helicopters etc.

I've nothing against the principle of realistic violence in films, or even unrealistic violence in cartoons, scifi (ie Matrix) and other "unreal" contexts. However I think it is irresponsible for film makers to trivialise and glorify violence.
