Review of Rescue Dawn (2007) by Aayush K — 14 May 2011
Directed by the legendary Werner Herzog, based on an adapted screenplay written from his acclaimed 1997 documentary, Little Dieter Needs to Fly. The film stars Christian Bale, and is based on the incredible true story of a German-American pilot named Dieter Dengler, who is shot down and captured by villagers sympathetic to the Pathet Lao during an American military campaign in the Vietnam War.
Veteran actors Steve Zahn, Jeremy Davies, Pat Healy and Toby Huss also star in principal roles.With phenomenal performances, genious cinematography and exquisit music, this movie bringed tears to my eyes.
Beautiful and well made.Masterpiece.Herzog is in shape, and this movie reminds me Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre.
