I saw Black Hawk Down. I would recomment that other people don't. It had good effects, good action. But no plot, no character depth. It was a film with a stunning cast.. but frankly, they might as well have been nobodies (except nobodies won't sell a film) for the amount of acting they did. The film taught me something.. it taught me about an event in a war in Somalia that I don't even remember. And it reminded me that I don't really like Ridley Scott as a director. I would have liked it to have caused me to cry.. to feel something for the characters. But there were so many characters, that all looked alike with their uniforms and short hair, that I couldn't always remember who was who. At the beginning, and in the trailers, you expect to be following Josh Hartnett's team around.. but you spend so much time following others too that you don't really feel anything for his guys. The only people that I felt anything for were two guys who got left behind for a while. I realise that they wanted to portray the events accurately.. but it was more like a gruesome documentary than a film. I expect a film to have a some form of integral plot or meaning, some character or characters that you can connect to (or anti-connect to). Something that brings the film together as a whole. Not lots of confusing action and lots of random people getting hurt, or killed, or saving others. Anyway.. it wasn't that good a film. Get my point?
