Black Hawk Down (2001)
Where's a little bit of objectivity?
God bless the dead.
A movie to honour US soldiers who died in an ill-advised military campaign in Somalia authorised by Clinton. It seemed to have good intentions to begin with and it looked as if they went to great length for authenticity.
As an action film it had some nice moments. What bothered me was that there was no attempt made to show the Somalian side of this crisis that occurred after the Black Hawks were downed, neither the militia or the civilians. Could it be that it does not matter to Hollywood?
A scene at the end was disgraceful. Were those Indian soldiers there to serve the US soldiers drinks? The way they came with the drinks on trays and towels on their arms made me think there was a 5-star restaurant in the US base. Even in the new millennium they still want to propagate a master/slave idea. I don't know what these film makers are playing at.
