One of the best movies Spielberg has ever made

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2012)

Black Hawk Down
The film "Black Hawk Down" is a fantastic movie that became a blockbuster hit soon after it was released. Black Hawk Down really showed brotherly love, which symbolizes how military squads can be like family. My favorite thing about the movie was the intense close ups of each solider and each weapon, plus all of the dramatic battle shots. One last thing that was my favorite about the movie would have to be, including the actor Ewan McGregor. The reason is he appeared as Obi Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars films from episode 1-3.
Evidently, the movie was a total success.With two Oscars, two Academy awards and twenty-nine nominations this movie exploded in theaters everywhere. The quote "We leave no man behind" out stood the movie and had a symbolic message. The story talks about a young man who wishes to be recruited by the army, this young man's name is Grimes. Every man goes into the army full of pride and thinks that this will become the best adventure in his life, sadly it turned out to be total chaos. Every solider in the movie was determined to rescue the injured pilots no matter what.
Every close up shot of each solider showed real fear, a fighting spirit and determination. This kind of spirit keeps solders energized and ready to fight again tomorrow and without it then where is the purpose of putting your life endanger if there is no fighting spirit and some one who appreciates your hard work. Each solder has a purpose on the battlefield which includes watching each others back and sometimes having to make the hard choice of rather letting you take the bullet rather then your comrade.
The battle shots sometimes take me into the actual movie. The movie shows that it can be me fighting a war somewhere in the future. You never think that you have it hard until you see this movie or you read something about a conflict happening somewhere around the world. Directors have the great opportunity to bring film making to the next level which is fantastic. Steven Spielberg did an amazing job on this film, he even brought a war that I didn't even though And made it fantastic and unforgettable.
Even though this movie was one of my favorite I do wish that there could have been for story and a heroic conclusion. Most movies that I have seen either end in great conclusion or they continue in another movie. This movie left me puzzled. I did intend to see a comeback from the United States military but sadly there was nothing. Nevertheless this move was fantastic, this movie is recommended for people who love brotherhood within movies, determination and those who have a fighting spirit.
