Sitting down for this documentary, I found myself in a state of shock at the sheer number of atrocities committed on people during this period, and most of them were carried out by our own soldiers. It was amazing to see how almost every family had such a representative member who participated in this particular incident, and how many families made their own version of events, with their own version of what happened to their loved ones. This documentary touched me deeply, as it did all of those involved. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to see the atrocities that we have committed to our own people during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I was fortunate enough to be able to see this film at a very high quality, at the San Francisco Bay Area Museum of Modern Art and at a live screening at San Francisco State University. I am glad I was able to see this film. I am also glad to know that my children, who were both born here in the United States, are aware of the horrific events taking place in our own backyard. However, the atrocities committed by our own forces did not take place in Iraq. They occurred in Afghanistan, and, unfortunately, many of the boys who participated in this horror show were left traumatized.

I first saw this film at the Sundance Film Festival, and I was blown away by this first ever documentary. The film was actually made by the same crew that made "The Last American Virgin" (yes, that film, too). This film is so honest about what the war in Iraq has done to the real American people, the documentary is so powerful that you can see the real effects this war has had on those who are living in Iraq and Afghanistan. This film was made on location, so we see these innocent children walking, waiting in lines, and standing in front of stores that sell all kinds of things. The documentary was done in English, which I would have never thought would be needed, because it is all about real life, no Hollywood cliches, no high drama, and no bombastic patriotic songs. This film makes you want to cry because you see so many people walking around their neighborhood, those who have lost their homes, who have lost their lives, who are so destroyed by war. They are just ordinary people who have suffered a terrible loss, and who you can never forget. One of the most powerful scenes is a scene where three Iraqi boys are singing at the pool, in front of an American soldier, who is trying to kill them. They are so innocent, and you feel so much empathy for them, because they are the same people that are suffering in Iraq and Afghanistan. These three boys have lost their mothers, but they are still trying to protect their home, and protect their friends. They don't know what will happen if they live in the wrong neighborhood, or if they move. This film is very well made and powerful, and I am proud to be part of this great piece of art that documents what the people of Iraq are going through. I am so proud to be from New Orleans, and so proud of my home state, where I know many of the people who are in this film, and I know many of the people who voted for these two men. This film, and all the amazing people that made it, are absolutely one of the most powerful and touching films I have ever seen. This film is truly moving, and powerful, and it is an incredibly important film.

Any real American patriot is appalled by the shooting at Virginia Tech. Anyone who has ever been to a college campus is outraged by the shooting of unarmed students at Kent State. Any real patriot is outraged that this type of behavior takes place on a college campus. Any real patriot is appalled that any young man with his first chance in life does not try to kill as many people as possible. Any real patriot is outraged that any man, of any color, can have an action film made about him. What does a college campus have to do with a military base in Afghanistan? I don't see how there could be any relationship between the two. The only group in America who would rally around the killing of unarmed young men is the black community. And the only group in America who would rally around the killing of unarmed young men is the group that is more dependent on drugs than the rest of the white community. This film says it all. We are all in need of discipline and self-control. We need to be reminded that it is the ends that must justify the means. We must not allow this country to be led by evil men who look down on the rest of us. We must also not allow our sons and daughters to be led by such men.

I have been a soldier in the IDF since 2006 and I have worked closely with the Israeli army, or military for short. When I saw the title of this film I was so thrilled that it would be able to bring me into this world and truly understand what I was witnessing, but I could not be more humbled when I saw that the director of the film was none other than Daniel Pearl, and he had joined the Israeli army to be a doctor in the IDF. I had never heard of this before, so I didn't really know who this was but I had a strange feeling about it. I knew that it was a film about the IDF and the trials of combat, but I didn't know what the film was going to be about, or what the story would be like. When I finally came across this, I was so happy I had never heard of it before. I am more then happy to say that this is by far the most important film I have seen to date about the Israeli army. The three main story lines are: Israel's occupation of the West Bank, the suffering of Israel from terrorist attacks, and the possibility of peace. The film goes in so many different directions, and sometimes it seems to be going in different directions, but it all leads to one goal. To bring Israel closer to a state of mind that it could achieve peace with its neighbors. The main reason I watched this was because of Pearl. I felt he had done such a wonderful job of bringing this amazing story to the big screen. The director had the ability to portray the pain, the emotion, the depression, and the fear. He showed the horror of war in a way that was emotional and yet very realistic, making it even more important that this is going on in the Israeli army. The director also had the ability to use the cinematography in the film to show the surreal world that the IDF soldiers live in. The way that the film was shot, the way he used the editing, the very clear and focused shots that really show the suffering of the soldiers, it was really amazing. The effects used throughout the film were also really good, making the film seem even more realistic. I also enjoyed how the director edited the film, making sure not to make it too long. Overall, I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes a story that takes them on an emotional ride that will leave you speechless. There is so much to enjoy from the point of view of the Israeli army and of the Israeli people. Even though this was supposed to be a documentary it still didn't feel like a documentary at all. I will definitely be checking out the others in the series, as well as being excited to see how the third episode in this series is going to go. 10/10

In a lot of ways, the movie is a very good example of how to film a documentary. You get to see the real people and the politicians in the documentary. It was fascinating to see the situations. I recommend this documentary to anyone. It does a very good job at showing the reality of what's happening and what is happening in Iraq. I highly recommend it to anyone. The movie will make you want to know more and that is exactly what this movie is really about. The movie is not as deep or as powerful as some movies, but it's worth seeing because you will learn a lot about the situation that Iraq is going through. I know I will because of this movie. I highly recommend this movie.

I went to this movie with some doubts, I knew the sound was terrible but I wasn't ready for the personal story of a soldier that didn't have a choice. Having to make that choice on a horrifying day, on a bleak, cold night, with no one to take care of you. This soldier, that you don't even know is there. Seeing the horrors of the place, the harrowing scenes that reminded me of the war in the desert. Seeing the broken bodies of the dead. This is a story that would have been impossible to tell. If you didn't see this, the movie will say that it's not. In the beginning of the movie, you get to know how many there were and how they died. There is no false modesty, this was only made to show the real horrors of war. I saw this movie a couple of days ago, and I can't stop thinking about it. It was so harrowing that I cried, but I was never about to admit that I was in the theater for a good time. I was only glad when it ended. This is a movie that should be shown in schools about what was happening in Iraq and Afghanistan. I hope the Iraqi and Afghani people have a chance to see this movie, and learn about the horrors that they are facing today.

It is a master class on how war happens, but it isn't like other war documentaries, because this one is the true story and what really happened and what happened to the civilians who were involved in the war. The movie starts with three years of occupation of France. It is then revealed that the Germans took over all the towns of France, but they were the good guys, the local population were mostly civilian that don't really take the Germans very seriously. A journalist is sent to "routine" work and he becomes very familiar with the problem. The journalist is then sent to Dachau and tries to help the prisoners, but they refuse to talk and get angry when he is trying to do something useful. He decides to break the news about the prisoners. The journalist gets mad because of the way he's behaving, he gets even a few prisoners to talk about it, and they get a bigger break as the war ends and they are able to talk more, even to the media about their problems. He tries to convince the prisoners, but they are too scared of the police to tell the truth, they are the ones who got mistreated and then they get help. The journalist doesn't get more help and is now very depressed, because he didn't do anything to help the prisoners and was too busy dealing with his own problems. The journalist ends up in hospital and he's transferred to a psychiatric hospital, there, he's diagnosed with paranoia, paranoid schizophrenia, and he is finally help. As a result, he's declared insane and his charges is transferred to another psychiatric hospital. His psychiatric case is the main part of the movie, because he couldn't escape from the influence of his persecutors. I was touched by this movie because it was all of my hopes and expectations were never met, because of the way the German government treated the prisoners. They put a lot of people who were, like the journalist, from the lowest class in the camp, and they thought it was okay for them. I'm sure the people in the other camp would have been the same way. The movie is an excellent example of how a person, who was working to help and care for prisoners, can turn into a maniac and he couldn't escape from the problem. When I watched the movie, I was a bit sad for the American reporter and I think that he suffered the same as the prisoners, because it was all about how a journalist could ruin an entire war, and how a reporter can do anything and not be afraid of what he can't do. This movie showed that a journalist can't get a second chance in life, because if he does, he will be punished, because it was all about how much the journalists can get to hurt the POWs and to make them forget that they fought a war for freedom. You have to think about this movie to understand how the people who suffered and died in Dachau were treated.

This is definitely one of the most beautifully made documentaries i have ever seen. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. This movie is so well made and so beautifully made. What I can say about the film is that it tells a very important story about the very important topic of war. It tells you all about the so called "Children of Iraq" and about the human psyche. This is a film that you need to see if you haven't already. It will shake you up and make you think about the war. I really can't say enough good things about this movie. This film is like a very deep and meaningful time capsule to the war in Iraq. I truly recommend this movie to everyone who wants to know more about what the war is really about and the psychological effect it had on so many people. It also makes you question if war is really worth it. Well, it's a no brainer that war is not worth it. Do yourself a favor and see this film. It will change your perspective and make you think about what you know about war.

No wonder that this film has had so many negative reviews. It's so true to life. I just wanted to point out that the German army had used black uniforms and carried out large scale killings of Jews and Arabs when Allied forces first arrived in the Netherlands in May 1940. You can just imagine the atmosphere, the costumes, the language, the dances and the reveille. The black uniform and uniforms were used for months, and it took a long time to get an understanding of the situation. But when that understanding finally became possible, the troops had to carry out the military operations. I just watched this film and I was shocked by the brutality, the costumes, the music, the music in the films. It was very sad to see what happened to people. I just hope there's never a war again. The British army is fighting the Germans with modern equipment, that means tanks, but it doesn't mean that the British will stop their old fashioned ways of working. They are still producing bad movies, this is a brave attempt at showing the reality of what happened.

To say it does not get any better, after watching this film you can forget all your previous films and give this one a chance to rise to the top. This film will show you how America was transformed into a fascist state. It is great to see the British working class getting beaten back. It shows the evil of fascism. Now I could not stop talking about this film, it has a great story, all the scenes are made extremely well. This is a film you must see, in every way.

I watched this movie twice over the summer, and I am still stunned. It's one of the best movies I have ever seen. I am not a guy that watches a lot of documentaries. This is my first time. In fact, I watched this film only twice, and I have to say it was worth it. I want to say more, but I don't want to give away the story. This is a man's story, and how his life and country are changed forever by a courageous young man who didn't listen to all the stuff the media told him to believe. Not a movie for everyone, but I think it should be watched by all. This is how wars should be fought, not in some fictional battlefield, but in real life. I strongly recommend everyone should watch this. I am proud of Tom DeLay, and I thank him for standing up for what is right. Thank you Tom DeLay. Tom

This is my first review on IMDb but after watching this movie I felt that I had to share my thoughts about it. I thought it was an excellent documentary. The video quality is very good and it made me want to learn more about the history of the Haitian revolution. It definitely keeps you engaged. It's the sort of thing that I would recommend to someone with a general interest in history. I did not find it boring and I thought it was very well put together. You can tell that these people who are interviewed have a great deal of passion for their subjects. They feel that it is a historical story and they want to bring it to life. This is a great documentary. The best I have seen.

I wanted to go to see this movie because I like War movies, as in the style of the movie is rather Western as well as the fact that it has been made in English, which I appreciate. But I was lucky because my girlfriend and I saw this movie as it was being shown at a private screening. We were fortunate to get a seat at the very back which was very good. It was very crowded, with people sitting right behind us and right behind us. It was very loud, and I could hear the other people behind us. The movie itself was very interesting. It was not the type of film that has people running from gun battles with the Nazis or shootouts with the Nazis. It was more a movie about people being displaced in a war, some of which is anti-Semitic. The movie did show a lot of anti-Nazi sentiment, and some of the other anti-Nazi sentiments which is why it was very important to me to see it. I am German, and I have experienced anti-Nazi sentiments in the past, but this movie did make me realize how much anti-Semitic sentiment is out there. Not to mention the "Nazi" version of the Holocaust which is what the Nazis did to the Jews during the Holocaust. The people in the movie were very very honest with their stories, and I think that the movie gave a much more accurate portrayal of what happened than any movie made before or since. The people who wrote the movie are not the intended audience, but I think that everyone who goes to see a War movie needs to see this movie. It is a good movie which is very informative and gives us a more accurate perspective of what war is like.

I loved this film so much. I watched it on TV with my 15 year old daughter and she could not stop watching. We watched the whole film. It was so powerful. It was just a wonderful story of a man who loved his country, loved his nation, loved his people. I also loved the other story told of his work in this movie and the military. I learned that there are other stories like that of the POWs. I did not know that in the movie. I wish I could tell all my friends to watch this film. I think it is a great story. I hope I can tell more of it. As a military officer myself I have a very strong feeling that we would be better off if we learned more about the POWs, their families, and their families after we leave the service. We have a lot of old memories and a lot of new ones. We must make sure that we do not repeat the mistakes that were made by those that were captured. If you have not seen this film, and would like to see it, do not let it dissuade you from doing something good. I am so glad I watched it.

This documentary is the first feature length documentary on the actual things that happened in the El Cajon, California, military base. During the war, that soldiers fought in. Throughout the war, that enlisted men faced situations that were not only painful, but also deadly. They faced many kinds of trauma, from loss of limbs, to having their nerves shot out, to having their conscience broken. All in all, this documentary brings out the reality of what these men went through, and I thought that it was very interesting to see the people that they had to meet as well. I highly recommend it. 10/10

Thursday, 04 Jun 2020 18:55

A classic of sorts, a British documentary that takes us to the bombed out world of war. Using archival footage of captured footage and interviews with survivors and victims. It's no documentary, but definitely a fascinating visual masterpiece. Or in some cases just what seems to be a visual masterpiece. The lighting and the camera movements are all very impressive and the story is well told. Not the most original, but definitely fascinating and well acted and written. If you like the idea of capturing the horror of war, this documentary is for you. Not the most enjoyable of films, but definitely worth a look. My rating 10/10

Saturday, 30 May 2020 13:16

Watching this film for the first time, I could not stop thinking about how bad the movie was. I was shocked by how much I had hated the film. It was a hit and miss film. The things that were filmed were truly horrible. The most poignant part of the film was when Pyle talks to his parents and his aunt, and has them yell at him for what he has done. It is such a sad thing to see what is happening in Iraq and to see a guy run to his parents to apologize for what he has done. I felt so sorry for him and what he must be going through. I have just come back from seeing this movie, and I could not stop thinking about what the director and the actors had to go through. The film has to have a 10 to have the impact it did, it was truly a bad movie, but at the same time, the importance of the film cannot be missed. If anyone would like to see the film and don't want to see it on a big screen, then I would recommend it, otherwise it would be best to stay away from this film. The performances in the film are very realistic. Watch the film and you will know what I am talking about.

During the last days of the old Soviet Union, the forces of the Soviet party crushed the forces of the "Bolsheviks" and gave the most famous phrase to one of the most important leaders of the resistance in the Soviet Union, Leonid Shevchuk. The statement was: "Do not defend your buildings, but defend the Soviet Union". It was just a simple slogan that was important to many people in Russia in their fight against the old Soviet regime. In 1992 the Communist regime finally fell, a handful of people survived in Chechenia, but almost all the Russian people lived in terror. The Soviet Union had come to an end and suddenly the death and the broken lives of people was turned into a war against people of all nationalities. The film says, at this time, the situation in Chechnya was extremely volatile. One group of Russian people had escaped from their gulag, the other had a very low, miserable life. The film shows the two stories of two people who escaped from the prison and then into the war in Chechnya. The woman is Alyona (from the film, the female voice of Olga Volkova, who plays the woman in the film). Alyona is not the only one who survives. The people in the town of Samara find themselves in the same situation. Their life is divided. They live in the lowest class in a working class village. They don't even have the right to vote. They have the right to a doctor and a lawyer. It seems like the death for each family in the family. It is not as bad as it seems. The only way to get money is to get a lawyer and help the people of the village. One of the main things that is kept in mind in the film is the "destruction of Chechnya", the number of people that died in the Chechenian death. What can be the reason? What is the damage? What is the cost? The people who have survived in the war also lose their future and there is nothing left for them. We are not sure about the real death of everyone, but we can be certain that it is a huge number. What can be said in favor of the film is the fact that it is very well made and the director is intelligent. This is a film that needs to be shown all over the world. It is time for a change, for the people of the world to understand the true history of the Chechen nation and the way it was destroyed. When it is shown in the European Parliament, the governments should show their opposition to the horrendous war in Chechnya. They should see the victims, the destruction of the people and then we will know how cruel the war really was.

After watching the documentary about their experience in the invasion of Grenada I became more and more outraged and appalled. The use of the "military death camps" in the film just don't stand up to any reality of what actually happened in Grenada. I also couldn't help but get emotionally emotional when I heard their stories of suffering, of which some had to witness. I am glad that I saw this documentary and learned a lot about the terrible events of Grenada and I believe that it was done so in an unbiased and unbiased way. That is why I thought it was a must watch.

Thursday, 21 May 2020 09:24

From the opening credits to the end credits, this documentary is in my opinion the most important film ever released on this subject. It is not just a documentary. It is a major celebration of the heroic efforts of men who risked everything to fight and win the war against Germany. This is a visual work. It is an intense study of these men and of how they face all the challenges and difficulties that come with war, and especially with the task of saving themselves, their families and country. This film is a pure testimony to the value of the men involved in this mission. It is an incredible testament to the lengths to which the German people will go to protect their children and to save their homes. It is a testimony to the determination and love for country and the strength of a people that can overcome their greatest dangers. The music is a beautiful expression of the spirit of a people that knows that their existence is held by something greater than themselves. The musicians of World War II represent all the great musicians who came before, including Jewish, Gypsy and Black Mozart. Their music is very much alive. I truly believe that this is a time when it is important that the world hear this message from these brave men. To me, it is not enough to know the names of these men. I have to know the stories of their lives. I have to know the music. I have to see the incredible visual, historic and artistic work that has been created. For this I salute the filmmakers and the people who gave this film its artistic direction and make a real contribution to history. Thank you.

The first of this series is "Behind Enemy Lines," which I have watched six times. In it we see the withdrawal of the U.S. military from Vietnam. Over the years this movie, with its distortion and ridicule of war and the U.S. government, has become a wonderful propaganda tool. This is a classic case of an overly-articulated, hyped-up, oft-outraged film that's only told half-truths or exaggerates. It's easy to dismiss the special effects here, but they are well-done and make the movie. But it's the subjective portrait of the movies' makers which is most distasteful. All the parts of this movie are thought-provoking and mind-blowing, but I personally did not like the first half of the movie. Here we see the amazing perfection of Hollywood-like techniques of effects-daring shots, and lush war scenes. But this half of the movie is all about the misuse of the special effects and has no grounding in reality. That is one of the reasons I like the second half, which is about the U.S. government's crimes, and the role of the anti-war movement. It's very interesting and thought-provoking, but also controversial. The people who watch this film with an open mind will have to take a critical look at the way the movie is presented.

This is a great movie and it makes you think and look at the world in a new way. All the people involved in this movie did an incredible job and I'm really proud of them. They went through lots of pressure in order to get this movie made and they did it very well. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to think and figure out what is happening in the world. It really makes you think. But if you want a movie that is easy to watch you could do far better. This is not a movie that has your full attention, but you will be entertained and it will make you think and if you don't like thought provoking movies you might not like it as much as I do.

Since i was about 9 years old I remember a friend told me that there is a ghost in his house that i have not seen. My friend is now 44 years old and still believes in ghosts. Well i just got out of this movie and it really surprised me. This was a great way to put it. I would like to ask you some questions. How many ghosts were there in this movie? What was the color of the ghosts? Did the ghosts look like ghosts from the future? There were so many questions that i can't even count them. This was a great movie and I hope that if you read this comment you see it. Great job this was a great movie and hope you get a chance to see it. Thanks

I have watched this movie 4 times in the last 4 weeks. It truly reminds you of the terrible things in our lives and the horrible things we have to face. That is why I think it is an essential watch. I think that most people who are in favor of the war in Iraq may be in favor of the war in Iraq. I think that most people who are against the war in Iraq may be against the war in Iraq. This movie will make you think for sure.
