In the Valley of Elah Recommended by AntiWar Filmmaker
From Chun Pan:
I am the filmmaker that made the documentary "Skipping in Camp Casey."
I want to heavily recommend the movie that I just saw, In the Valley of Elah, with Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. It is the first Iraq anti-war movie that I have seen in the American mainstream cinema.
As a filmmaker I can testify to the power of this film and how it could possibly affect the American public. I wouldn't call the movie pretty or entertaining. It goes beyond that. It depicts a generation of soldiers whose moralities are molded by the circumstances of this tragic war.
