one of the most powerful and thought provoking films you will ever see

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2006)

quite simply, this movie is one of the most thought provoking, disturbing and utterly human portrayal of real life that your ever going to get.
as a 19 year old, i went into it not fully understanding the subject matter, came out not really understanding all the details, but the main thing i got from this film, which was driven into my mind through the mesmirising acting of a superb cast, is that in war there is never one side to a story, no side is ever completely innocent.
i cannot possibly explain the impact this movie has. the realistic and gritty filming makes it seem almost as if your walking along with the characters. one of the group. you feel their emotion, and piece together information as they get it.
no comment is ever going to do this film justice. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT, you will remember it. this film is truly a masterpiece, and will be remembered for years to come. though the situation was based on real events, the emotions, and the concepts are easily applied to modern day.
what most upset me, was that 30 years on, and we are still making the same mistakes.
just because somebody is on the opposite side, does not make them the enemy.
i fight you because u fight me. you fight me because i fight you.
its horrific. this film is a must see.
