Strangely ironic

Rating: 4/10 (29 January 2005)

Ironic that the movie has such an undercurrent of falsehood. The survivors are, in many cases, false. Users of the grace of others.
Similarly, the movie's makers are using the names of actors who, in several cases, appear for only minutes. George Clooney, John Travolta, Woody Harrelson. Each is featured in advertising, and each has a minor role. I felt manipulated, just as the soldiers themselves were manipulated.
It would have been art if I believed that the producers were callous enough to have done this on purpose. Perhaps I did not learn the movie's lessons well enough.
