propaganda

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2008)

i don't know whats wrong with all the people: such a high rate for such a stupid propaganda movie?? sorry i don't get it. the action is good and the effects are great but thats all there is. it's definitely not an anti-war movie or something like that. as proof look at the credits: ever dead gi is listed with his name but non of the 1000 dead Africans!! hello?! the army kill that much people in just a couple of days and that is a drama for the army?? i would say 16 to 1000 is a pretty good body count for the us army. the so called story is full of stereotypes. everyone who has ever seen a war movie knows them by hard: the film starts with the soldiers saying goodbye to their families, there is the typical scene: "we will not leave one man behind", the coward who becomes a hero bla bla bla. boring! the technical side of the movie is perfect but thats not enough in my eyes for a movie to get a good rating. a movie needs a story. this movie as no story. it's just another commercial for the us army: real man, honor, bravery... if you want to see a good war movie watch the classics: full metal jacket, platoon, apocalypse now, hamburger hill
