What violence does to a person
Politics aside, this is an impressive work examining the humanity of the situation the plot is describing. It captures what violence can do to people, and what violence that will result in. The cinematography really did give a feel for what was happening in the film, reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan, but with no glossy shine or deliberate overexposure. John Williams once again pulls through with memorable themes and motifs. The wailing woman motif, though affecting here, has almost become old now with its recently widespread use.
