The movie was interesting, but it was also frustrating. I hope the young lads watching this movie realise this is 'just a movie'.
In the movie, there were characters who made substantially delayed decisions, indecision's, poor attitude from some characters, the main character needlessly elevated risk to himself and/or his fellow soldiers due to personal and interior missions lead by uncapped emotion etc... etc... etc... .
Then the youngest solider, the one who kept falling to pieces throughout the movie until he was finally injured; what in the world was he even doing there... would a military not send a solider, who is obviously not copping, back home? I don't know how this young solider in the movie even made it through military training (with regards to soldiers being strong not just physically, but mentally strong as well), little own the military finding him mentally fit enough to go traipsing about a war zone when he clearly could not cope and he clearly did not have the necessary mental skills. Would lack of copping skills not come to light long before a solider got onto a tour? Am I off base on these thoughts?
Yes, I realise it's 'just a movie'.
Yes, the movie is 'interesting', but I wish the director had made the movie more accurate.
