Movie Reviews of Combat Diary - The Marines of Lima Company
Movie Review: Great look at war
Summary: 5 Stars
As a vet of the Iraq war I can say this is a very well made story of one unit and what they faced. War is not exciting, or pretty and this shows how it happens and the effects on those left at home.
Summary of Combat Diary - The Marines of Lima Company
A war expos unlike any other COMBAT DIARY: THE MARINES OF LIMA COMPANY provides an unprecedented and harrowing firsthand account of life and death on the front lines of battle. Shot on home video cameras by the very soldiers who were part of the hardest hit combat unit of the Iraq War this remarkable program weaves heart-pounding digital camera footage with revealing interviews following the action. From the initial enthusiasm of the newly deployed troops to the dramatic outcomes of their combat missions the Marines of Lima Company bring the war home from the very heart of battle.Distinguished by powerful unflinching imagery and the frank heartfelt and poignant words of the soldiers speaking directly to the viewer COMBAT DIARY: THE MARINES OF LIMA COMPANY offers an honest and heartbreaking glimpse at the terrifying reality of war.System Requirements:Running Time: 91 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating:?NR UPC:?733961761856 Manufacturer No:?AAE-76185Everyone nods and agrees that war is brutal; rarely is that brutality glimpsed as vividly as in Combat Diary - The Marines of Lima Company. During their 2005 tour of duty in Iraq, Lima Company--a unit of Marines, all from Ohio--lost 23 men on the front lines. Combat Diary combines footage shot by the Marines themselves with home digital cameras and interviews with many of the surviving soldiers and parents and wives of men who died. The soldier's footage ranges from bored hijinks to actual firefights, including a troubling, surreal scene of men in full gear with rifles ready patrolling through a crowded Iraqi bazaar. In frank, uncensored language, the men describe how excitement turns to terror and misery, how their friends were shot or set on fire; but even before these jolting stories are told, the price of war can be heard in their voices and seen in their faces. This, combined with interviews with a mother who's kept an answering machine message from her dead son and with a wife who was pregnant with her second child when she learned her husband had been killed, creates a potent documentary. Combat Duty makes no political statements; conservatives and liberals can read their own messages into the movie's stark, simple remembrances. But every American should watch Combat Diary and see, in the eyes of these men, what happens on the ground when a nation decides to go to war. --Bret Fetzer
