masterpiece

I only have a few extremely minor quibbles with it, and I'm already thinking my way out of them. It's a good thing she focussed solely on the three bomb unit guys, or I'd've had a fist full of them, all centered around our boys not being anywhere near this socially acceptable in action, but with just the three, and doing what they do, it's fine. She put so much in there and never once tweaks the script or the music to highlight it, just lets it nail you, gives you the time and leaves you to your insights. That takes guts. Also respect. I appreciate that. This movie very seriously deserved all the laurels.

Warmongers and peaceniks, alike, can learn from it, and love it.

All that stuff about her drawing you into it, you being in it with them? True. 100% true. It starts out being nothing more than a well-produced documentary. You're almost going to get mad, but right before you do you've been grabbed by your collar and sucked into the screen, and you don't get let back out again until very near the end.

I'm not kidding. This movie was SO much better than Avatar, there's just no measuring it. I believe even the citizens of Pandora would agree.
