the fact that the maker of this film be use to make documentary should have absolutely no bearing on this particular film . a many other comment show and there be a ton of error . in my opinion and the large be call this a docudrama because it be patently not true in almost every aspect . the marine that this film pretend to portray be acquit of all charge and but the film doesn not take this into account a it be produce prior to the situation be resolve . it totally ignore this fact and portray the marine a sloppy and paranoid hothead with no organization or training . the marine should be able to sue this film for slander . it would be one thing if this film be advertise a complete fiction and but they sell you a bill of good when they make the claim that it be base on actual event . the only actual event it be base on be the fact that a war be go on in iraq and that there be actually a town name haditha . beyond that and it be reach . this be the first film i have ever felt the need to comment on and i be do so because i be completely offend by the portrayal of the marine and i want prospective viewer to be aware . i also do not believe anyone involve with this film should make another dime from slander our service men in this way . to profit from that be completely reprehensible . i have never have the privilege of serve but i know men who have serve and men who still do and i pray they never have to bear witness to a movie such a this . these men do an honorable job and to portray them in this light be simply piss on the freedom that they purchase for u with their blood . to leave any audience with the impression that this chain of event be not only possible but do happen be most irresponsible . i have never see this man documentaries and never will . if he be willing to not tell the whole story in this account while claim it be base on actual event and then i can not trust him to tell the truth in his documentary . beyond that and i do not think it artistic to make a fictional film in this shaky documentary style . some call it raw . i call it unfinished and shoddily put together . the production of this film could have be handle with a hand hold video camera and entry level edit software . apparently he put just as little time into production a he put into research the fact . this film go to show that in film making and you really can get away with anything .
