That’s genocide.” ...“That's not a war Mr. Atto. That’s genocide.” What those people in Somalia had to deal with every second of their life is absolutely heart wrenching, not even knowing if they were even gonna make it through day because their situations were so tough. My heart goes out to all the victims. No one has the right to take another person’s life. And the violence proves nothing but the degradation of humanity. <br /><br />Recently I saw this movie, Attack on Darfur, at the NY film festival and realize that Darfur needs as much attention as it can possibly get. I myself had no idea how bad it was until I saw this movie which is a very real portrayal of the horror going on there. Even some of the actors are actual people from Darfur reenacting their actual raping and torturing. I cried so hard, but I'm glad I saw it cause it really opened my eyes to what's going there.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705254336624273156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-38167531631899963942010-04-17T04:08:17.633-05:002010-04-17T04:08:17.633-05:00Loved this film too.

But, was really taken aback at how great it was. Still think The Hurt Locker was better though. www.movienewsfirst.comoliveobrien1978https://www.blogger.com/profile/10606321850264107997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-18173373744646332482010-04-14T11:08:30.916-05:002010-04-14T11:08:30.916-05:00It always astounds me how so many film critics go ...It always astounds me how so many film critics go after overt politics in war movies and then a war movie that doesn't overly address politics comes along and the first complaint is "Where are the politics?" No one can ever be happy.<br /><br />And, yes, I really need to get on the HD bandwagon.

The mission was part of an overall operation called Operation Gothic Serpent, the Somali name for the battle is Day Of The Rangers, and the alternate US name for it is The Battle Of The Black Sea.<br /><br />Someday when you end up with an HDTV and a Blu-ray player, be sure to pick this up. It's one of the better looking HD movies, and even looks better than it did on the big screen (or at least on the Cobblestone's big screen, the quality of which is up for debate).Wretched Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691397733214664019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-1102983836380346032010-04-14T10:00:13.263-05:002010-04-14T10:00:13.263-05:00One of my favorite movie out there, and this shows...One of my favorite movie out there, and this shows why Ridley Scott is one of Hollywood's most respected director. The film leaves the politics at the door unlike so many current war films. The character aren't developed excessively which is great because the movie is not a character study but a recollection of what happened on that day. Finally, the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer is also a feast for the ears.Castorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317266954630009383noreply@blogger.com
