Saw Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down in NYC
last night.
This is one of those rare times that I go to a
public movie performance.
It's hard to say what I really thought about
this film. My first reaction is that although
the film is beautifully well done, it's overly
too long and its just a non-stop show of bloody
carnage.
Of course, a film like this needs to be made
to realistically show civilians what war situations
are like. This is a true story, and one whose
importance should not be underplayed by toning down
the graphic reality of it all.
I think that aside from Private Ryan, this
is one of the most realistic war movies I have
ever seen.
All I can say is that I liked the film, but
would not want to watch it again except for a
DVD review.
**** I must warn everyone that this film is more graphic
than Saving Private Ryan was. ****
