Black hawk down

Black hawk down were made in 2001 in United States of America. The film won Oscars from best editing, best sound and were nominated for best director and cinematography. Black hawk down is a story of American elite strike teams mission to release small city from withering warlords grip. Sounds Like a basic American super soldier movie right? However it´s different from others because it´s based on actual event.

The battle of Mogadishu happened between October 3, 1993 and October 4, 1993. The battle of Mogadishu were joint ops mission witch goal were to capture Somali warlord  Mohamed Farrah Aid-id and the movie focuses on rescuing party for crew of two shot down Black Hawk helicopter. A lot director didn’t  change the code film is still a triumph for American ”saviors”.

Storyline is still old same first 30 minutes is spend to watch bald people speaking meaningless fuzz and showing how evil hostile is. When the battle begins, it´s same old story: American propaganda: hundreds of Somali militia are shooting group of American soldiers on a ground without any effect. However after couple minutes Americans are forced on defence still they seem to get over whit it without a scratch. The rest of the film is just meaningless stuffing when rescuing party is trying to get to crash side. however in that stuffing the secret of success is hidden, because that’s where the tide changes and Americans are starting to drop down, which brings the movie more realistic. of course Americans are not going to lose but in this movie they don’t get any miracle power but air support which is much more acceptable. Another funny fact is that everything else than American things seem to blow up Movie doesn’t show much about the citizen’s view or even the city it’s purely about soldiers.

Personally I think that movie were made to defence USA:s massacres and to get more soldiers to world. During the raid more than 1000 Somali got killed by ALL forces and 19 American were killed.

The movie is not to be recommended for those who require a deeper meaning or something stimulating. but those who enjoy action and all that other stuff its very enjoyable.

One thought on “Black hawk down

  1. I think this review is done very well and the writer has thought everything what is said about the movie in this review. I have seen this move a few times before and I liked it very much. Blop considered the movie a little bit deeper than I have ever done, but I can’t nothing but agree with Blop in every point.
