In the Valley of Elah |
Two things I’m principally mad about:
1) War is fucking hell and I don’t need a sermonizing Haggis to remind me of this. And I can’t stand to think of how this is all fucking with people’s lives, what it does to people when they come back. All right. But this film borders on excusing things like Abu Ghraib and what happens in this film: it’s not the soldiers’ fault at all, it’s just war man. The horror, the horror.
2) Something about making such a conventional, artless film out of this, with chase scenes and the usual whodunit procedural narrative and blah blah blah really turns my stomach… And basically insults the intelligence of all viewers, regardless of their position on the war. It’s just a DUMB, cheap film.
Ugh, the guy is such a self-righteous fuck.
