MUSIC AND MOVIES - 13 - BLACK HAWK DOWN

" People ask me , Why do you do it Hoot? Are you kinda War Junkie or something. I say they won'y understand because ITS ABOUT THE MAN NEXT TO YOU . That's it the man next to you "
-- Eric Bana as Hoot

As the music starts to play you know it has to be Hans Zimmer in one of its another masterstroke. Its called " Burra Burra " by Richard Taha - Algerian musician.

This movie epitomises the plight of soldiers around the world fighting & surviving in order to restore peace in unknown dark territories.

It tells the story of Battle of Mogadishu.
In a raid, a task force of Delta Force soldiers, Army Rangers, and Special Operations Aviation Regiment attempt of US Armed forces battle it out against the Somali Militia to capture one of its leaders responsible for genocide & humane attrocities beyong imagination.

No one wants a war we are taught coz it leads to destruction , but there are forces & people who put their selfish agendas & lead the community & nation to the verge of a war & killing in name of caste , religion , creed , sect , land , control so on....

This is the best War Movie ever made , again we have a maverick director called "Ridley Scott" who gave us cult classics like Blade Runner , Alien , Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven , American Gangster to name a few.

The camera , editing , war sequences & above all the sharp script takes you on the dangerous streets of Somalia & you feel the tension & heat as if you are there.

Depicting War at its best.
===================
Why Special to Me
===================
Best War Movie ever made.
Watch out Eric Bana & Josh Hartnett conversation at the end of the movie. Too Good. Both are superb in the movie. Bana proves his enormous screen presence as Hoot.

But in this movie its the screenplay & crisp editing which is the winner.
Again all credit goes to the genuis of Ridley Scott.

Just watch it out for Ridley Scott & brilliant composition by Hans Zimmer.
