I selected this movie only for all the Academy Awards, BAFTA and all other accolades that it's received. It was virtually unknown in INDIA till then. This movie has not released in INDIA, as far as my knowledge goes and no DVD out yet. So I do it in my way - A Broadband connection and aXXo torrent!!!
I watched the movie in my drawing room(only room in fact - those ramblings of a bachelor) at my pleasure, without having to buy online tickets, without calling friends, without taking the time and pains to get to the multiplex on time and redeem my tickets in that queue, and so on.
The movie somehow mixes the components of a documentary, emotional drama and a few elements of a commercial film that keeps us interested in the war movie. The portrayal of all characters and the way the screenplay unfolds itself is so immersive and real, such that it feels we are watching a news reel of the actual war site. One of the few movies in which war is not glorified and slowly sheds light on the life of a Bomb Detection Squad. The various facets like their personal life, the way the people react to an alien army, rebels and suspicious calls, etc., are a real treat to watch.
So, watch this movie if you want to see serious stuff that is real!
