The Most Powerful Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2002)

Black Hawk Down was truly an amazing movie. It was as close to an accurate depiction as war as could possibly be made. This movie showed how horrible war is. The movie did not take sides on the conflict between the US Army Rangers/Delta force and the Somalians of Mogadishu, but simply showed the Sh*t the soldiers went through. The effects were unbelievable, and the Cinematography was in a league of its own. Imagine the memorable Apocalypse Now helicopter seen, now imagine one 100 times better, and you still are not close to Black Hawk Down. I read the book Black Hawk Down, and I was expecting the movie to really "flop" in comparison, but the movie was truly spectacular. It was very accurate in its story line, and it left a gripping image of the tragedies of war, as well as a respect for that those who serve in our armed forces. As someone who is planning a career in the military, this movie scared the hell out of me, and I believe that anyone who has an opinion on our military one way or the other should view it. THIS WAS THE MOST "POWERFUL" MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
