Local people took a video at the scene and interviewed the survivors, which was later sent to TIME in the United States. The weekly magazine exposed the matter and aroused international attention. British director Nick Broomfield then went to Iraq to re-enact the process and make it into a movie to let the world know more about what the US military is doing in Iraq today. When I checked the information of this director on the Internet, I realized that he was not easy. He made more documentary films to raise topics, such as the story of the female serial killer; the story of the Chinese girl Qu Snake going to the UK and so on.
The movie "Haditha" is reminiscent of the massacre of American troops in My Lai Village (My Lai), Quang Nam Province, Vietnam on March 16, 1968. In order to defeat the Viet Cong guerrillas, a group of American troops killed 128 indiscriminately. civilian. The Vietnam War movies performed by big stars in the past 30 years, with the exception of a few two or three such as "Apocalypse Now", cannot be compared with today's Iraq war movies. Today, if the director is shooting Iraq, he will give up his commercial purpose with his conscience, and his position will be more objective and neutral, and more importantly, he will master the shooting technology. To shoot action scenes, so you can accurately record the entire process without editing), which greatly improves the sense of scene and fidelity, which is close to the level of live broadcast on TV.
Broomfield seems to have reached this point now. At the very least, the scene and atmosphere of Iraq presented on the screen of this film feels real, and all the actors (whether they are the main actors, supporting actors, or even extras who only appear for a second) appear to be navy. The members of the Marine Corps and local civilians were able to express the atmosphere, mood and environment of local life at that time. The process of filming the US military's murder and revenge is as realistic as the live TV scene, which is breathtaking, and he can't help but see the devotion and tightness.
I really don’t know how the British director filmed. Would the local American soldiers and Iraqis support the British director to repeat the incident? If the U.S. military and the locals do not help, it would be even more remarkable for the British director to be able to make such a realistic film.
This movie depicts the inner world of the murderer. He suffered from insomnia for several nights, wanted to see a psychiatrist but failed, and finally became crazy and did something to exterminate humanity. The film says that they are also victims, and they are forced by high-level generals to do things that they do not want to do.
The film that exposes the scars of President George Bush has a slim chance of being shown in cinemas. I was fortunate enough to see it in the Hong Kong City Hall, and missed the audience watching it at the film festival. I had to go to Shenzhen to find its video. In addition, in March 2008, retired and active soldiers attended the "Winter Soldiers" hearing in Maryland. Everyone reported that they had witnessed the atrocities of the US military in Iraq. The mainstream media will not report these news, and you will find evil actions similar to those revealed in the movies on the Internet. (Finish)
