Black Hawk Down's good fun - you should definitely try and see that sometime. Quote:
Initially I'd heard it was only gonna be one prequel, so the whole thing about there being two of them's fairly new to me. The first news I read broke when the writing process was underway, so I'm presuming/hoping it's just a case of the script being two long for the one theatrical release. |

The War genre isn't something I'm too big on, but I'll definitely get round to watching it at some point. Same with The Hurt Locker, still haven't seen that. |

Superb cinematography and acting but honestly- what is the point? life will be a bastard if it all ends. No sense of genuine peril or religious allegory ( which I was expecting in this film). Disappointing.

Those two movies simply transcend a genre...

Isn't Hurt Lock About the Iraq War? Thus making it a War film. I dunno, I'll get round to watching it eventually. The Hurt Locked, Avtar and The Road are three modern films that I need to get round to watching.

your statement is a bit too general to mean much to me. how do they showcase their transcendental nature? "war films" is one genre that really doesn't mean much to me save the setting. i would classify most that i have seen as dramas(kinda like westerns).
favorite action war film: saving pvt ryan favorite dramatic war film: schindler's list favorite comedic war film: dr. strangelove

I love depressing movies in an odd sort of way. This was just soul destroying. Told me nothing new whatsoever about things if the world turned apocalyptic.
