Real meaning of the movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2006)

I'm tired of talking to people who say they love this movie because of all the explosions and violence. Am I the only one that watches this movie understanding what those valiant men sacrificed on that day in October? Even though the movie doesn't explain exactly what occurred, it gives the viewers a good idea for what happened. But if you want to know everything that went on that day, I strongly suggest reading the book by Mark Bowden after seeing the movie. I did that, and was able to really get a feel for what both the Delta men and Rangers went through. Anyone who hasn't seen this movie should see it as soon as they can. It has some of the best editing and effects I've ever seen in a movie. The sounds in the film are astonishing. From the gun shots to the whistling of the RPGs, it's very well done. I'd have to say that Black Hawk Down is by far my absolute favorite movie.
