there was humans at war, at last.

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2005)

The Film is a masterpiece, a jewel, the actors were fantastic and the soundtrack by Zimmer outstanding. Tired of seeing war movies which are a simple succession of unrealistic heroes actions or exacerbations of special effects (from Rambo to Saving Private Ryan, Behind the Enemy Lines,etc, etc). This one is what I was waiting for, contemplating, in an artistic way, real human aspects of war, with real characters with a personal story that affect in their actions in coherent manners and in complexes ways. The overwhelming atmosphere of the movie, far away of being boring, is also a very good representation of what the war is for the minds that must confront it. Lots of transcendental inquires emerge from what it is being showed and some interesting answers are insinuated, what makes everything more interesting for the one that is prepared and receptive. The film made me feel that I never want to be at war, loosing my wife, dying stupidly blowing my as by accident or because an ambitious lieutenant. Common ones made people want to be in the place of the hero, presenting characters that are almost invincible and, of course, natural seducers. Another funny and perhaps transcendental question about all this is why most people prefers the second type of movies.
