“War”, critic: Alex Garland takes out the most rough and ruthless side of the war

Alex GarlandOne of the most interesting and favorite directors of the 21st century, premiere in cinemas WarHis new film definitely covers his military cinema after flirting with him in his famous thriller Civil warThis time the director joins the field Ray MendosThe war veteran to tell the memoirs of this at one of his worst moments in the war in Iraq. To do this, it combines a luxurious cast with the best young Hollywood stars: Joseph QuinnIN Connor KitIN Cosmo JarvisIN Michael GandolfiniIN There will be a dollarIN Noah SetuyuneoIN Charles MeltonIN D’Araoh Woon-A-Tai…

Story War He leads us to Iraq, where the American detachment of the Military Fleet is located in the rebel territory in the observation mission. But when everything seems calm, when receiving an attack from all the flanks that will leave them in a trap and with a very small margin of reaction. Together, they should try to survive and leave the area before the Islamists committed them.

The most terrible side of the war

WITH WartimeIN Alex Garland And Ray Mendos They perform an amazing movie on a movie that will bypass the genre of war. If the seventh art is accustomed to our grandiose battles or missions ahead, this film makes the opposite. From the very beginning, he shows us a leading team, which is part of one of the best trained forces on the planet, as they really are. A group of children who love to laugh, dance, smoke … nothing unusual.

Only with this letter of the presentation, the tape already completely demistifies the epic of war. But everything goes even further when the action explodes. After some long and very quiet 15-20 minutes, chaos suddenly arrives. Wartime This demonstrates how quickly everything is distorted in an armed conflict. And, above all, as the consequences are the most terrible, as soon as the situation is uncontrollable.

Explosions are here and there. Shooting everywhere. Scream. Panic. Despair. And, of course, death. War He teaches the coarse, dirty and intuitive side of the war. His main characters will suffer. They will be wounded or dead, because this is what is happening in all wars. And this is much worse than cinema and television always made us believe. You are very accused of a hand of this MendosThat in the film of his memoirs he seeks, first of all, hyperrealism and fidelity to what really lives from the inside.

Against reserves

The film reaches peaks in the dementia region and becomes unpleasant and difficult to see. Her soldiers did not romanticize the war, since she came into force to the premiere, War This is an obvious letter against. A statement about the world in order not to give more boys to die in the most terrible way.

Perhaps it can be criticized that the point of view is exclusively the point of view of the soldiers and does not give a greater prospect of why Iraqi uprisings, which are considered as simple antagonists without more context. In fact, they know about this lack of vision, because they try to facilitate it by setting a family of civilians who give the situation a more human touch. But in fact, it does not matter, the purpose of the film is not to talk about geopolitics, but about the disasters of the war, wherever you are.

It is curious that the anticipation of the cinema Alex GarlandThe field last year the prime minister took place Civil war Immediately before the election in the USA. Now that in the real world there is talk about the RUSME WarIt is impossible to leave this film with a field for someone, making sure that war is the path.

Technical child prodigy

A good part of the fault that the message Wartime So a deep Cale is how it is shot. Alex Garland He reaches the climax of his cinematic style with an impeccable film in technology. Each camera is placed on the exact site. Each plane is what should be. And the assembly increases all the sensations that are trying to transmit. At first they calm down, then an intuitive storm, panic and anxiety.

Wartime This is military production, which has nothing to envy any other film of the genre, for much more than millions of large than they are. Two directors cover practical effects and compress their unique location to the maximum. Everything happens in the house and on the street where it is located. They do not need anymore to create one of the exciting events, more animals, which once saw in this type of movie. At any time, the viewer will have the feeling that he is one more from the platoon, to be there with them. That is why this goes so badly.

In addition, you must celebrate how its distribution is. Garland And Mendos They developed a training camp within a few weeks before filming to acquaint their actors using weapons and military strategies. You can see how much they absorbed from the reality of the war, because in War They give everything to further strengthen this sense of reality. Wonderful choral work.

Summarizing, Wartime This is one of the best military films that are remembered. Portento in a technique that generates a feeling of overwhelming immersion. And the story that de is a warfare and the front of realism. An intensive one and a half hours of pure voltage and action, with very powerful images and impeccable composition. A very complex experience that will leave exhausted spectators.
