Review of Black Hawk Down (2001) by David Sterritt for Christian Science Monitor — 09 Mar 2002
Perhaps they truly believe war is an inescapable aspect of human life. If so, why make movies that rub our faces in its horror? If artists have no antidote to war's evil or insight into the suffering it brings, their motive in depicting it must be merely to sensationalize its terrors and make money from the morbid fascination it holds for audiences.
We deserve better.
