I have watched many movies, supposedly based on real events. No doubt, some of those movies were really good because of their distinctive visual appeals, narratives and other reasons while some of them were “so-so”. However, today, I would like to talk about a movie which I consider to be one of the best war films, I have ever seen.
The name of this movie is “Black Hawk Down”. This war film was made in the year of 2001, based on the 1999 non-fiction book of the same name by journalist Mark Bowden, about the U.S. military's 1993 raid in Mogadishu. The movie tells a story about a US military operation, which took place in Mogadishu, Somalia, in October of 1993, in order to deliver U.N food shipments, by preventing the Somalian warlords. But the military raid went disastrously wrong, when optimistic plans ran into unexpected resistance, resulting in the loss of 18 US soldiers and wounding more than 70 of them.
What actually happened was that enemy rockets, launched by Somalian warlords, brought down two of the US helicopters. Anyway, after watching the movie a couple of times carefully, because I really like it, I felt that no army, even if they are as great as the US army, would be able to take on its enemy successfully if they don’t have the resolve to risk their lives. After all, an army, which leaves their night vision gears, thinking that they would get back to their base within a few hours after successfully completing their military raid, planned nothing but some disastrous ending.
Anyway, I think that it is a good movie because it is made subtly differently, where no one person is clearly singled out as a hero, unlike many other war movies we see. I also like the fact that the movie doesn’t make any effort to cheapen itself by putting unnecessary weight into one particular moment. Finally, I think that the movie also has slick cinematography, good visual effects and believable action (as opposed to some “super-human” ones). All in all, it is a great movie.
