I think if you're going to see a war movie this is the one to see...it's got the cast..and it's not all...glossy.

Actually I think most people would agree that the talent of the actor is one of the keys to a good movie..along with a good plot..they have to be able to deliver the performance.

Talk about blatant advertising laughing out loud

C'mon if really want to see an anti-war movie its gotta be Apocalypse Now, or the newly released Redux version.

Ridley Scott is a good director, but the situation he is tryin to deal with is very complex. And as he's a "Hollywood Director" he's obviously going to make the Americans look good.

Well using the Americans as hero in this movie isn't a good idea, as the Americans tend to start more wars, and so have to make more anti-war movies.roll eyes (sarcastic)

I don't think that this is really relevant, but I read somewhere that the character that Ewan McGregor plays is now actually a convicted pedophile.

Anyway I think its gonna be a Pearl Harbour type of movie, use a situation thats extremly close to the Americans and that should sell tickets.

Thats right Ewan McGregor playes. John Stebbins, in the movie McGregors name is Grimes.
The army asked the produsers to change the name.
John Stebbins is sitting in the millitary prison called Fort Levhenwort or something.
I am not advertising anything, I am just saying that i am looking forward to this movie..anything wrong with that?
PS Have a merry christmas and a happy new year everybody. rolling on floor laughing

Hello Zed
Have you read the book?
If you havent I advice you to read it.
Offcoure it is going to be a little bit patriotic! But the point with this movie is to see how hard it is to be a soldier, its a true story.
There is going to very bad scenes in the movie, I have heard, so I guess its going to be a little bit like Saving Private Ryan.

My beef with Bruckhiemer and his Hollywood buddies is that they will make a movie about anything as long as it makes them money.

I have not got anything about them making movies, mainstream or not. As they have made some good movies.

They just keep on reguritating the same stuff over and over again. They make a good movie and so they have to make another just slightly different. They should be more original.

For the first what is the point with making a movie without earning any money, offcourse they are making this movie to earn money. Its their job.
And for Ridley Scott, call himm whatever you want to but he is a great director!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How any of you people seen Gladiator? The movie is great!
PS, are there anyone here who are going to see Black Hawk Down?

For all of the people how think this is a Hollywood movie read this!


| Cast Members Jason Isaacs, and Tom Sizemore talk Black Hawk Down. From Reuters:
The movie was shot in Morocco -- Somalia still being too anarchic a nation to host an international movie crew. The actors, including lead player Josh Hartnett, spent several weeks in military boot camps before shooting began and also met with some of the soldiers they were to portray.

For both actors and soldiers, it proved a surprising experience.

``I found myself overawed with a sense of responsibility to tell the story without showing off. Actors are all about showing off, but this time it was about getting ourselves out of the way and letting the story tell itself,'' said Jason Isaacs, a British actor who plays Ranger Captain Mike Steele.

Retired Special Forces Col. Lee Van Arsdale ( a military advisor who took part in the 1993 Somalia mission) said he was ``half-way expecting something Hollywood -- effete liberals and all that. But these guys were fantastic. They were totally committed to getting it right.''

Getting it right, for the actors, meant stepping into the boots of soldiers whose motto ``leave no man behind'' became a creed that transcended their individual fears.

``The movie is about heroism and bravery and the anatomy of battle, not the anatomy of personality which is the typical Hollywood fare. Ridley Scott said he wanted to make a movie about the foreground, not the background,'' said Tom Sizemore, who plays Lt. Col. Danny McKnight, the Ranger who went back into the fray repeatedly to try to save his men.

``In a firefight, no one has a moment to look cool, to smoke a cigarette and say 'Hey! Look at me.' This is not a Hollywood movie. It is a very, very serious movie,'' Sizemore said.
