A disgusting and disgusting nightmare redefines the “War Film”

There was never It was a movie Just like Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza “Warfare”, who feels flammable and packing before all. There is no true story here, no traditional conspiracy, and certainly does not develop a personality-it is purely experimental, and in the actual time to chaotic hell that asks the viewer to witness, feel pain, exhaustion and tremendous terrorism of the actual battle scenario. He does this without flirting even with one exciting moment, or issuing a specific judgment. “War” throws you directly to smoke and collar, and you are expected to struggle with your personal reaction to the visceral massacre of everything.

Those who are in the “support of the forces” in the hope of obtaining an honor to salute the flag of men wearing the military uniform will be angry. Those who want to make a public statement about the useless war, or American foreign policy, will leave a hanging. But those who embrace the experience created by Garland and Mendoza (who participated in writing the movie together) will find one of the most unique cinematic experiences per year. Many films were launched to film a realistic photography of military fighting, but “war” seems to be the type that reaches the final model, and perhaps unforgettable.

This is the least exciting war movie ever, but by design. Instead, it is an experience depicting what it means going to work in a boring job to be terrifying.

The “war” was born on a group of Garland, similar to the button button, “Civil War”, “Civil War”, “ Where the talks with Mendoza, his specified military advisor, led to the choice of the two to cooperate in a film based on the real latter experiences as a soldier in the Iraq war. With the commitment to photograph all the details as accurately as possible (they do not claim any moment in the movie that is invented or modified, and every major rhythm of interviews and memories was extracted from the participants), the duo chose to adapt a very bad day from Mendoza and his colleagues from his soldiers. Specifically, the 2006 mission ended.

An unprecedented campaign to kick early. Good luck in remembering any names, and do not expect any character to learn a Hollywood friend and has something similar to the bow. Garland and Mendoza included the audience with the family as if we had known them since the ages, and this is just another day. Boredom of the first half of the film is the first deliberate hour – this is a boring task, and these men are just … they are waiting. An integral part of a house from two ungrateful families, sitting tight, watching the streets through their guns, chatting about nothing, really.

And when things get worse, they are very mistaken. The sudden angels that exist and then the resulting chaos – are all surreal, loud and difficult – put you effectively in the shoes of these men. The effective audio mixture in particular converts a perspective, as it translates the area of ​​the head of each letter into distinctive audio seats. When the wounded screams begin, they do not stop for the rest of the movie.

According to the design, the film does not cast any direct judgment. The film does not tell us to feel angry that the supreme in the United States of the military allows these forces below, because the rescue mission is painfully slow. Likewise, it does not tell us that we are angry that this family has literally acquired a house occupied by innocent men, women and children, and to turn their home into a craftsmanship. “These things have happened,” the film says, forcing us to admit that these soldiers can use their strength and authority in irresponsible ways while showing moments of tremendous courage and shattered weakness. He is messy, he is worrying, and encourages a complex reaction. If you feel uncomfortable and conflict about the whole thing, you fell into the film network.

They are the details that build that web. Instead of the story or plot, “Warfare” is fully assembled from the details, and moments you feel vibrant like memory. There is no love story for the job here, and violence never deviates towards anything similar to anything exciting. We cannot see where the bullets go, and we cannot know who “win” or “loss”. But we are witnessing an unconscious man who wakes up, and we realize that his legs are burning. We see as trained soldiers who are constantly stumbled to the wounded men as they fail to watch their surroundings, and send them to episodes of pure torment. Most of all, we see despair people, who make impossible decisions that are torn directly from the adrenaline.

“Warfare” provides us with pictures, as Mendoza and his colleagues remember them. Then he leaves the judgment for us. It is a responsibility for a few films to allow the audience, and the pressure of that task feels crushing.

There is a reason that no representatives are mentioned while writing this review: the character and the development of the aforementioned characters are not among the goals of the film. There are many well -known actors (Will poulter, “Strange things” destroy Joseph QuinnCharles Milton, among others), and no one gives bad performance. But when the goal is originality above all, the film only allows these actors to be present in moments, to allow us to experience the nightmare to them. I could not tell you something about them in a way that exceeds the basic details of their role in the family – they are accompanying and not personalities.

It is an option that fits the goals of the movie, but it also serves as a two -border blade. “Warfare” is frankly in its display, and it dares even how to form it and its structure. As an experiment, it cuts the bone. But as a movie? Well, this is more striking to rule, as a style He is Article here, and we must accept that the blocks of traditional story building such as “Personal Development” have been sacrificed for complete indulgence.

“War” is a difficult movie Love In the traditional sense, but it is a kind of films that you can easily like. When the literal dust abandons, the audience stumbles in the stage of the stage, you can feel a thousand different conversations, and ready. By not taking these conversations on the screen, Garland and Mendoza are demanding that you have after the truth. There is a special strength in it.
