Can there even be a depiction of war that makes war seem like a good idea?
The film has been widely criticized as pro-war propaganda while also praised for its technical finesse.
Nearly everyreview on Letterboxdmentions disappointment in A24 for releasing this movie.
Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland’s ‘Warfare’ depicts 90 minutes of warfare in real time.
I also thought that this must be why gender roles are so important to conservatives.
Without the concept of masculinity, how would they convince young boys to voluntarily endure the horrors of war?
Especially this particular war that was fought not for freedom but for… oil.
So, how isWarfarea pro-war movie?
The families homes are destroyed when insurgents attack the SEALs and one soldier is minorly injured.
It is based on the memories of the SEALs involved and the process was cathartic for them.
The soldiers inWarfareattempting to evacuate after their mission becomes FUBAR.
This is pretty cool.
The nonsensical world of the film reflects the nonsensical nature of memory, especially memories surrounding a traumatic event.
And then theres the stuff I didnt think about until I read reviews from others.
The boys pump themselves up before their mission by watching themusic video for “Call on Me” by Eric Prydz.
