"Black Hawk Down"

As Usual, I am slow again...but nonetheless, I still managed to catch it.

The official poster on the DVD
Starring Josh Harnett, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Ewan McGregor and others based on the real life story of the Somalian war then in 1993. It is a good one abeit that one may feel a sense of heavy-heartedness at the end. It is so realistic that I cant bear to stay glue to my chair. I dont wish to see such a sight as it makes my blood boil. Nonetheless, I still watch it. It truly depict the humanity as it is. Coward, Bravery, Community forces, war savagery, life and Death. There is one scene that left a big impression on me.
One is the one on the pilot of one of the black hawks down. He was being rescued by two marines. But in the end the community forces of Somalians actually overwhelms them. They fight till the last. But guess wat the somalians did? They actually tear and attack the dead corpse of the marines. Gives me creeps. Seems like a bunch of black ants trying to carry the piece of cake across the floor. This is the imagery that I linked with the scene instantly. Hope this does not offend anyone. (I am not being racist or having any discrimination here but this is how the movie is portryed or rather the director lead audience to think of. Yeah I know the underlying discrimination conscious of the director.)
Following wic they found the pilot and tried to do the same thing to him. I can see that he is scared and he longed to see his wife and child by clutching to their photos.Duno whether it is his luck or not, he was taken hostage by the warlord. Very emotional scene I must say. You can feel his terror and emotions for his family as he fear death..
The director is Ridley Scott. A famous director I must say who actually got funded by Shaw Brothers on a film called "Blade Runner" starring Harrison Ford. I think he like to make a lot of action movies. But nice though.

Removing casualties amidst the war and rubbles from the "Black Hawk" down
It makes me wonder after the film whether US actually advocate for peace or do they rush things so that they can get over and done with without proper planning or it is that the situation in war is like that, taking risk as if nobody's business?
I am not sure but this film cetainly left me wondering that.
