Get ready for a new wave in poltically inspired film abuse
If this was WW2, we'd be speaking BOTH German and Japanese, and I would probably be a bar of soap.
"Redacted" stuns Venice
By Silvia Aloisi
VENICE (Reuters) - A new film about the real-life rape and killing of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl by U.S. soldiers who also murdered her family stunned the Venice festival, with shocking images that left some viewers in tears.
"Redacted", by U.S. director Brian De Palma, is one of at least eight American films on the war in Iraq due for release in the next few months and the first of two movies on the conflict screening in Venice's main competition.
Inspired by one of the most serious crimes committed by American soldiers in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, it is a harrowing indictment of the conflict and spares the audience no brutality to get its message across.
De Palma, 66, whose "Casualties of War" in 1989 told a similar tale of abuse by American soldiers in Vietnam, makes no secret of the goal he is hoping to achieve with the film's images, all based on real material he found on the Internet.
If you finish reading this you will see this is NOT a documentary but is, in fact, something BASED on real events. Real events which, like those in ANY war include actual CRIMINALS among us who get into the armed forces. Real events which are indistinguishable from those which occurred in WW2, or WW1 by our men ...BET ON IT.
This gets worse.
