Four Lions Page #3

Synopsis: Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while terrorism is about ideology-it can also be about idiots.

- Did you do it yourself or something?

- Yes, I did it myself.

So is he in or what, Omar?

What choice have I got, Barry?

Hes either in or Ive got to kill him.

Good. I knew you d like him.

Simba and Pumbaa were out on their own.

And Scar was looking for them and

if he found them, he d kill them, but...

- Dad?

- Yeah?

Did you blow up any kuffars?

What?

At the wedding?

Do you want to hear

what happened to Simba or not?

- Yeah!

- Right, so...

Simba and Pumbaa

were out on their own,

when all of a sudden they saw this...

...this big evil bird, this big bird,

that Scar had sent out to look for them.

This big, evil vulture, coming right at them.

'There it is, ' said Simba.

He spotted it,

this big evil vulture,

coming straight for them,

coming right at them.

Then what, Dad?

Well, Simba had to bring it down,

otherwise it d kill them.

So, what he did was,

he grabbed a stone

and he chucked it at the bird,

only he chucked it so hard,

it was such a strong powerful throw,

that his arm went all the way round.

Behind. He threw it so hard,

it went a mile behind him.

And it hit Mufasa.

Wise, strong Mufasa, Simbas dad.

It hit him accidentally on the head

and killed him.

But didnt Scar kill Mufasa?

Yeah, in the film.

This is real life, Im talking about.
