Title: Restrepo
Review: "One platoon. One valley. One year" (imdb.com). American soldiers are sitting around talking, reading magazines, playing the guitar, and showing pictures of their families. This scene in the war documentary, Restrepo, directed by Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger, shows the raw emotion of soldiers in the middle of a war and the relationships among men that have been strengthened through tragedy. Restrepo has been praised by many, and it was The Group Jury Prize Documentary 2010 at Sundance Film Festival. It was also nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. This recognition is not just because of the interesting cinematography or the intense battle sequences, but because of the emotional scenes the directors were able to capture and the ways in which they put those scenes together to make the viewers able to connect on a deeper level.
