There are films that leave the viewer in some kind of limbo and do not allow one to easily draw conclusions and outline an idea in just a few words. "The Bang Bang Club" is one of them. Stories of people obsessed with their profession or hobby always captivate and inspire admiration. The heroes of this film are four real photographers working in the dangerous spots of South Africa during the civil war, who are ready to expose themselves to bullets for the sake of a valuable shot, and thanks to whom the whole world can see the cruelty of war. Of course, such personalities will evoke both gratitude and admiration, because attracting public attention to the truth is no small matter. On the other hand, they are vultures, literally flocking to corpses, death and blood, and the more brutal the frame is, the more pleasure they will experience. They are inactive, do not come to the aid of the wounded, do not take sides, have almost no sympathy and oppress everything human in themselves, everything that could interfere with their work. And yet sometimes they break down and don't know if they are doing the right thing.
The film doesn't give you the opportunity to take sides or say "well, you can't do that!" Heroes cannot be condemned or justified. This is simply a story of four people, based on real events. Good acting, excellent editing, high-quality camera work - everything was done on a very high lebel. I recommend this film to everyone who likes ambiguity and eternal moral questions of this world, which will always remain without a single correct answer.
