War Movie Response
This movie was heartbreaking. I had never realized before how horrible this time was or that there were deliberate plans to kill people for entertainment. The press was so afraid to release the truth during the wars. Instead of in-depth explanations about the disturbing instances, they chose to glorify aspects of less importance and focus on things that mattered less. With this movie, the only way that people finally got the truth was through wikileaks. Wikileaks videos almost always begin with multiple content warnings. This is due to triggering content of course, but also because the internet believes that enough warnings may discourage people from engaging in the video, but more importantly from engaging in the truth. There is such a stigma around war and violence that people are attempting to shield the truth from the world when in reality, as sad as it is, the truth needs to be seen, heard, and understood. People need to know what is actually happening in these times and people need to know the despicable minds behind it all.
“This wasn’t combat. This was reckless slaughter” stated an anonymous profile in the comment section of the video. This anonymous person was spot on, though. This was no real “war”, this was cruel, undeserved harm to innocent people of all ages. They had no idea this would be their last day of life, and seconds before it there were men laughing about it. It is disgusting, disgraceful, and scary that there are people like that in this world. It is just as scary as well that there are people helping to cover up these horrible people in the act.
