it was also filmed real time, like the whole thing covered just 90 minutes
interesting you use those words...my first remark after was 'jesus, so all that for what? did they even get to do their mission, what even happened to the marines??'' the body language of the Iraqi combatants stepping into the street at the end conveyed the same feeling.
this was really good. not for the queezy. not a single one was shot, the casualties were all from the ied. that is remarkable. every one of those guys brains was scrambled, that was almost as hard to watch as the physical injuries. yikes.
i couldn't believe that first Bradley just pulled off and left them lying in the street. huh.
i don't know if this will make sense, but the style actually reminded me of Anora. no exposition, no narrative, we're just dropped right into a point in time and go! i guess Civil War was like that, too. i mean i realize objectively all movies are like that... but the feel is different, stuff just happens. i like it, whatever it's called.
