@LUVELACE: I am from Italian descent. All 8 of my great grandparents came to America in the early 20th Century. None of them or their descents butchered anyone.

@HoraceGreenley: Two things I love about the authenticity of the movie is that sound guy Gary Rydstrom painstakingly located the real sounds of the guns online. There is also a POV shot where the camera operator shook the camera by duct taping a drill to the side of it! Take THAT, CGI!
