Sad & pathetic

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2002)

I know that war exists, I actually lived through a civil war for over a decade (lebanon). Before going to the movie, I knew that it was about war but maybe I expected to also see something intelligent and a human side to it instead of simply people shooting. All I have to say is that I can't understand why someone would enjoy this movie. If you tasted what war is in your life, you would hate the movie, find it sick & spit in on it. From the beginning of the movie until the end, all you hear and see are weapons being shot and people getting killed like some video game. There's not 1 minute in it where there isn't violence. It's as if the point of the director is: shoot & kill as much as you can!! I didn't find it entertaining and after a while I didn't care who was dying anymore, the whole time I was shaking my head thinking to myself that we humans are the most pathetic & sick creatures on earth. The only refreshing thing about the movie is seeing a couple of DOGS and a DONKEY. It reminded me the true value of life & that at least the animals do know how to appreciate it. Watching people kill each others each second shouldn't be entertaining, if you had lost some of your loved ones in a war, you would DEFINITELY NOT FIND THIS MOVIE ENTERTAINING, YOU WOULD FIND IT SICK, no matter what the political reason is! I really hope that they stop promoting war, there's another way to deal with problems. Take out the weapons and everyone would be forced to sit down and talk. Believe it or not, most of the weapons of those terrorists in the movie were actually BOUGHT from countries including the USA. How pathetic is that? Anyways, I'm not reviewing the movie about it's technical part and how well it's done, some people are even saying it could win oscars, but to me this movie is sick & not watchable unless you enjoy seeing us humans killing each others. You may not agree with my view but I hope that you will at least understand.
