It worth watching, the original director's message

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2010)

Basically the movie is definitely not bad, i'd rather say good - an original message that war is a drug. Sound giving, especially the plot, the play, the dialogs, the reality of a country in an 'after war' period. However terribly worn out theme about heroic adventures of the American soldiers on a way of democratization of the world. I'm sorry, i'm not trying to offend anyone's feelings, but not all soldiers in modern conflict zones are such a heroes. Comparing to 'Redacted' in describing the soldiers' day-to-day routine, this movie almost shows us that war is actually not a worst thing that could happen to people, no matter if you're occupied or you are the occupier. I suppose that what is shown in this movie is true to some extent, and not all Iraqis feeling them selves as occupied nation, but i'm still in doubt. But it definitely worth watching.
