joining us is peter berg, writer, executive producer and director of "lone survivor." that are so meaningful with regard to your work. it's exceptional. there is also some lefty bloggers jumping on the train here. amy nicholson is one, l.a. weekly, we discussed her quote when it came to "lone survivor." she said, as the film portrays them -- >> the seals. >> yes. they're attitudes to the incredibly complex war on terror were simple. brown people bad. american people good. what's your reaction to that? >> first of all, i try not to ever engage with film critics too much. my mom once told me, you can't allow the good words to feel too good because then you're going to allow the negative to feel real bad. so you got to try and stay in the middle and generally film makers, i think most of us try and not ever engage with any one critic. that being said, i am aware of what this young lady said in regards to brown people being bad. i'm not sure what film she saw. marcus luttrell was saved by a man named muhammad. he and his entire village of of ans who believe were the brown

for the film's director, peter berg, this is not about politics it's about honor. >> i thought that marcusary opportunity to pay and acknowledge a sacrifice these men are making. it was the most satisfying film that i have ever been involved in. >> the first time that it wasn't about me or my experience. it wasn't me hitting my growth as an actor. >> reporter: the story would not have been told without muhammad, the local villager who saved and cared for luttrell. refusing to hand him over to taliban, despite death threats. >> i owe him my life. >> people talk about honorable men. that's honor what he did, in him risking his life and his village and his children, to rescue a complete stranger. how do you do that? i was never privileged to see, until i went to afghanistan, that there are a lot of amazing people. they are also at war with the taliban. >> reporter: luttrell now has a 2-year-old son, ax, he doesn't know yet, but he'll tell him about his experience. >> we'll have a discussion about it. with his mother and myself. he's going to see it eventually. kids do that. >> i have the same

over the fire is a true story based on a book that marcus luttrell wrote who was the lone survivor peter berg directing and he wrote a few good sport is that true i have no he did not write it for me but you know i've done i've worked with pete before and you know he kind of offered me this role and at the time i was hoping i could do it and it was a he's like it's a small role but it's a good role and i want you to do it and you know sure enough when i when i kind of got there that there really was no small role in that movie because it's just it's such a important film these guys are basically superheroes you play a navy seal i play a marine who basically you know is running the communications for the seals while they're on this mission which is hat was was the problem with the mission was the communications and the satellite was a problem like the communications kept going in and out where do you shoot that was shot in new mexico which i was actually doing last vegas at the same time so i was leaving this light hearted funny set with my heroes in vegas where we're partying and then getting

peter berg brought us very, very close to that. did you shoot those scenes when they were falling down the mountain? this is what the casting director had to say. >> this was obviously a very violent, intense experience and we were determined to do everything we could to capture it. we did that without any wires, without any dummies. we had some of the fiercest stunt men that i've ever encountered throwing themselves off of those cliffs. the actors wanted to, ben foster in particular. i was constantly having to pull them away 'cause they all wanted to get in and get after it. it's a testament to how much the guys wanted to honor these seals. >> then the close-ups of us when you see us, it's a guy on a sled, camera man on a sled hooked on to -- like a sled -- you know how it looks like the top of a garbage can? he's on one of those. it's so old school that you got a guy -- when i start falling, he's right beside me being pulled from a guy that's connected to the road. >> when you can't see the person and they don't know it's you, i

in the process, i understand peter berg at one point told you and the family members when you see this> well, from the time i knew they were going to make a movie, i tried to tell myself it's just a movie. it's just a movie. so when he said it was going to be graphic, i'm not a big movie goer and i particularly don't see movies that are violent. so i braced myself for that. peter was very thoughtful for all of the families and he called me before we were invited to universal to see a rough cut, to let me know that it was graphic. i chatted with him for a while and he said yes, but donna, you need to understand that it's graphic. and i understand, i understand that, peter, but i also have to tell myself that it's just a movie to be able to get through it. >> sure. i understand that completely. what was the hardest part to watch? >> at the end of the movie, peter has done an amazing job of depicting these men not just as warrior, but also as husbands, sons, brothers, friends. and at the end of the movie, he shows still images of all 20 of the men and some of the images they're in their m

real reactn what is going on, i turned to former chairman of the national labor relations board, peter some berg. i think a lot said in that interview speaks for itself. what is your reaction? >> it certainty does. you asked some very good questions and you hit it on the head and so did he. these are entry level, seasonal part-time jobs, when the fast-food worker improves himself and graduate from school they move on to another job but the vibrant economy as ours need these kind of jobs. melissa: right. >> the labor unions know this they know what kind of jobs these are, and they know the franchisees simply can't afford to pay $15. this willpl result in decreased employment andce higher prices. i'm sorry. melissa: i don't know whyme he would expect to support a family ofix people on his first or second minimum wage job while he is a full-time student. i mean that's not what those jobs are for. you don't expect those peoe to be trying to support a family. you expect them to be students who are lrning a skill, also learning money at the same time so they can be in sccool. so then they can have a f

>> i think peter berg and the cast and the crew, they did a great job with what they had to work witho a book, one book, that's tough enough. and then when you want to take it from the literary sense and throw it into a movie, that's got to be almost impossible. to make it flow right, 'cause there was so much going on. but i think they can a great job with what they had and i think if you go in there and watch the film and you come out, you have an understanding of what we went through. >> marcus, you say in understanding and i'm sure those scenes have played through your mind countless times and it's our privilege that we even get to see what really happened there in your mind and in your opinion and in your experience. your wife, melanie, went with you to watch it. how important was it for you to have her have a visual to what you've been through? >> she's got the toughest job in the world. she has to deal with me 24/7. she knows things that obviously nobody knows. she's the one that i go see when i'm having a bad day and i vent and i need to talk to somebody. so she's definitely ha

sometimes the answer is shamelessly obvious as in the case of franz peter -- [inaudible] roman catholic bishop of lin berg, germany, who just finished spending $42 million to renovate his episcopal palace. the bishop who, i have to say, looks and sounds rather like a sesame street puppet -- [laughter] is likely to lose his seat, so egregious is his self-love. less egregiously self-loving bishops who have spent far too much on their own comforts and splendors -- but not enough to attract international attention -- will probably keep their seats and be spared. and let's not even go near the subject of all the bishops who out of fear of discomfort have covered up for untold generations of pedophile priests. but even when greed or self-protection is not involved, never underestimate, never underestimate what a smug sense of superiority will do for many a religious chap. this smugness is invariably accompanied by the need to be exclusive. my religion is better, purer, more -- [speaking in native tongue] than yours. indeed, there is an aspiration that runs through religious history no matter which religion is b
