Restrepo (2010)
A good document of war in Afghanistan
7 May 2012 - 2 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
The film as itself is very good. It contains scenes of actual fighting, which are not so often seen in documentaries. On the other hand, as a viewer one must start thinking about the conflict the film depicts. When you look at "the Dead cow scene", this is where the flow of my mind goes the other way. At first, I had sympathy for the soldiers in this film. Afterwards, when you see how they laugh at the man whose cow they have killed, and offer him "beans, rice and flour in the weight of the dead cow" as a compensation... Then you start thinking on what are those people looking for in Afghanistan, why are they not at home in the US? A very strong sentiment of rage goes through your body after wards.
