Pure Unadulterated War, see it!

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2003)

A truly epic story that will take its place beside others like Schindler's List, Platoon and Saving Private Ryan.
The length of the movie is negligible when one considers the true horror before our eyes. The pace is real, the faces galvanizing in their humanness, the emotions are not over-charged yet bursting with raw violence and unanswered questions.
More happy, cosy Americans should see this, a few times; hopefully gaining if only the slightest gut-wrenching understanding of what war is really like, on the loosing side. If it appears boring to you, then you are lost, for you remember not, nor have interest in history and are bound one sad day, to repeat it.
This movie is not happy, nor should it be, but the horrible truth it speaks (yet only of one life here) needs to be poured like salt over our minds as we watch true atrocity; to keep the wounds raw, so as not to forget; ever.
I give it 10/10 for keeping the brutality of history alive in our hearts, thereby adjusting our perspective on life.
