The reel thing
Real life violence is more disturbing than movie violence, that’s a fact, as this brave Aussie individual filmmaker/journalist, Ware, takes us, may’be, too close, sometimes, to the ongoing way in Iraq, while this was early times, for that number one, infamous and hunted terrorist. Here, they’re after a smaller important party, with a price on his head. This is a stark and grim ride amidst bombs, be headings and some truly scary, and dangerously serious moments, one involving the welfare of our filmmaker, who’s made something short of a masterpiece, and a beautifully written V.O doc too by Ware. The film has a nasty air to it, and that’s how it should be seen. He’s one of the bravest and ballsy filmmakers, I’ve seen, this side of war. At the end of it, my Dad commented, jokingly or not, “I hope he didn’t go back”. No joke, that very realization had me in a pith of worry and concern. Probably the best, up close and personal view of this endless nightmarish war you’ll ever see. Be warned, some of the violent images, are stark and shocking, and will be heavy on some viewers, one in the second to the final frame of the still breathing enemy, you thought initially was a goner. There are a few stereotypical moments, that has us feeling we’re just watching another in the field doco on this war, but I’m no saying that as a criticism. A non issue. For the most part, it’s a frank and unsettling journey into the blackest realities of the war, the meaty part of the footage of Ware’s trepidation and dangerous exploits, really starting mid way.
Witness life as it is
It’s always difficult to rate a documentary like this one, because of the theme, death, deceit and terror. We cannot glamorize the facts as they are and it makes no sense trying to say it’s good, average or excellent. It is what it is.For the ordinary viewer, being able to detach him or herself from the horror and wishes to rate it for its information, perhaps a 5 is about right. For those having been in war situations and have witnessed it first-hand themselves, will refuse to watch or rate it, to block out their own memories.
War is bad, very bad and terrible acts do happen.
