Title: Beautiful film
Product review: This is war, not seen through the eyes of some macho Rambo-type goon, nor even through the eyes of simple, naive, young men. This is war through the eyes of a contemplative, someone who is just a bit more sensitive and introspective than most. It is beautifully filmed, and the contrast between the beauty of the environment and the extreme violence of the war is harrowing. There is a definitive scene about half-way through where a young soldier, pinned down by gun fire, touches a small plant in front of him....the leaves of the plant close in reaction...but this is heartbreaking...innocence and beauty and subtlety juxtaposed against violence, hatred, and high caliber machine-guns. This is both a great war and anti-war movie.
