Movie Review: HEARTRENDING, GUT WRENCHING, DEEPLY MOVING
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie on T.V. two nights ago. (We don't get to movies in theatres, my husband has hearing aids and can't handle the noise!) I'd wanted to see it for some time, because the simple blurb in the T.V. magazine preview indicated something special. It's unfortunate most people will simply think it's just another Bruce Willis 'actioner'. I haven't read all the reviews but I may be one of the few women to write one. I won't repeat the details of the script, simply list my own observations.
Story: all important, in both books and movies. This story was played out with clarity and compassion. Certainly it became a little gung-ho at the end, but one could become deeply involved in the action scenes, the portrayals of the members of a small, highly trained military unit, and the simply accepted fact, once unknown in the movie world, of Africans as human beings.
Acting: Bruce Willis has matured well. He played his role perfectly and believably, conveyed all the feelings of a man and a soldier in terrible circumstances with admirable economy. Seldom has a wooden expression served its owner so well! The men under his command were equally believable in their roles. Monica Bellucci as the doctor I could not quite warm to. She did all that was required of her, yet I couldn't quite believe in her character as I did the men's. After the movie finished I wondered what an actress of the ilk of Meg Ryan or Susan Sarandon would have made of the role. And Tom Skerrit didn't quite click as the senior officer.
Blood and Violence: I don't handle these well. I've refused to see the Mel Gibson produced movies for that reason. But, as in 'Gladiator', the brutality and cruelty of human beings to one another, as depicted, was acceptable because it was part of the storyline. It was neither explicit nor graphic; it wasn't thrown in for the sake of sensationalism.
Why gut-and-heart wrenching? In a phrase, I cared for the people and what happened to them. In a word, realistic. Why deeply moving? Because after the end of the story I realised how fortunate we in the western civilisations are, to live in even comparative safety.
P.S. And its title is similar to that of my favourite science-fiction story, The Sun's Tears by Brian M. Stableford, published in 1974!
