There aren't many war films that enjoy watching,
and this was one of them.
I'm not even sure why.
The characters are believable and there
Isn't so much pro war talk or pro America talk.
In fact the one place i do remember seeing an
American flag is where they keep the dead people.
I ended up watching this due to curiosity really.
I'm not a big fan of war genres and this whole Iraq
thing is just far too overrated for me.
I wanted to get in on the hype about James Cameron's
ex-wife who made a film that contends Avatar
for the Oscar on a serious level.
And it does.
These are the kind of film i like to see get nominated for
best picture. Although - i must say the final choice of
soundtracking - very very poor!
Shame on you music supervisor.
But the style is pretty cool.
Guerilla filming is the way to go for war films.
And a subdued score just gets me every time.
Somehow violence and beautiful music go hand in hand.
I have to admit - i do find the idea of diffusing bombs to be
pretty exciting.
I remember watching loads of films and always wondering how they
know which wire to cut.
So much pressure on so little.
This is a great film to watch, what i found particularly funny
were the two famous appearances getting snubbed out quickly.
Brilliant.
I do find small casts seem to go further in story telling.
So...Best Picture - i'm not sure.
I've seen better films.
But this is great film still non the less.
