"If..." or "Bonus Propaganda"

Rating: 1/10 (4 April 2010)

This movie i personally dislike, it's not a great sample of war film.
i keep questioning me, how did this movie were so awarded, if it didn't added me nothing (i say that when i compare The Hurt Locker with Schindler's List, Letters from Iwo Jima, Full Metal Jacket and others) i gave this movie 2/10. it isn't all bad... i liked the sniper sequence.
Maybe this movie wouldn't go so far if:
-wasn't directed by Bigelow (the you-know-who's ex wife); -the producers held the movie -regarding to festival exhibitions- for a direct rivaling with Avatar.(all the magazines and blockbuster afficionados who like to make comparisons -silly comparisons- love it!) this item is also related to the first "if". -wasn't "America's self affirmation of supremacy in war", or "bonus propaganda" (Avatar was "onus propaganda", who disagree with the in command American military prime)
When i say Bonus Propaganda, i'm referring to the subjective movie inclination to promote the America's great ego about invading other countries who disagree with their values.
