Bad name, bad words

The original excuse was that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in possession, but it was later shot down. After several years of searching, Saddam was hanged, and WMD still couldn't find it.

The name is not right, so the words are not right.

After watching the film, I feel powerless, what does it want to say? Anti-war? But the depiction of the killing of the Iraqi army is also specific and immersive.

Maybe this is what the film wants to express, a kind of confusion, an attitude of recording first and then letting time tell everything.

The overall visual style is very rough, which may be related to the declining quality of Youku videos. It is recommended not to watch when you are thirsty.
