What I took from this movie - it tried to show the fog of war. That's what it succeeded to do - show what it feels to be and ordinary person when the war starts. When you don't really know who is who, why the stuff happening and you are not sitting online with 20 different sources to get info on current events. Of course entitled journalists are not exactly the ordinary guys, but you know what I mean.
The only complaints I've heard about this movie are people wishing it was something it is not. It's a movie about how fucked up war is through the lens of war photographers - a profession that provides us, Americans, with ample access to how fucked up war is everyday yet nobody seems to care.

Fair reading. But that concept would lend itself to many more interesting ideas and scenarios beyond store brand Apocalypse Now.

Do you think it even accomplishes that modest goal? To me it seemed like the photographers didn't care much either.

it's not a Disney movie dude
Good point. Only Disney movies benefit from characters having motivations, personalities, and character arcs.
@@readtotheend LOL, agree, sarcasm justified
