    Came here to write this.

    Another one would be Jacob’s ladder, but compared to Come and See it’s fairytale.

        Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic movie. It’s just… it kind of fucked my mind when I saw it.

        Same applies for Come and See. It’s amazingly done, but it’s brutal. Which is no surprise given the theme, but the difference is it’s so naturalistic and shows all the wartime horrors. Most films tend to avoid these and show only the heroic parts of war.

        Speaking of which I’d sneak in Apocalypse Now and Casualties of War.

          Casualties of War… That one was fucked, esp. since it was largely true, and the person that reported it got so fucked over for trying to do the right thing. Kinda like the people that stopped the My Lai massacre.
