Realism at its best

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2014)

I can't get this movie out of my head. I hate to use the term. "It can't be unseen" because it sounds like a bad thing. I'm very torn. This is an amazing story of the heroism of these Navy SEALS. A true story that you become immersed into. There's a love and brotherhood shared by these men that was portrayed right away. The acting served them justice, it felt so very real. But on the other hand, the extreme graphic nature of war was also portrayed without anything held back. It was horrifying and heartbreaking and I cried quit a bit. Just knowing what's coming brought tears in some scenes. It was overly graphic and I can't unsee what I saw, but i also respect the produces for showing the reality of war without distorting or holding back. It was truth. Just that. I definitely recommend this movie if you can stomach real war visuals. And I mean more real than I've even seen, and I've seen it all. There were several times I covered my eyes, ears or both. But in the end I left saddened and overwhelmed but also left with a higher respect for our brave servicemen and women and also the realization that they are just people, like anyone else with lives and families outside of their service and uniforms and this reality grips you when the many photos and videos of the real men that were portrayed in the movie are shown at the end of the movie. There hasn't been a movie affect me so much in a very long time, if ever. And I was not the only one affected. I heard and saw many tears. I have a much different outlook after watching this movie. This movie will change you. God Bless the men and women of our armed forced.
