"what happens within those formats is too fake to believe. The soldiers don't sound like soldiers; they sound like the cast of Rent acting like roughnecks, complete with cringingly false badass dialogue (''You're so goddamn white you wouldn't wear yourself after Labor Day!'')......supposedly based on a real incident from 2006. We can tell he's recycling his contrived Vietnam film, Casualties of War."
Saw the film and it wasn't even entertaining. Predictable and over the top characters, not believable. Depalma tries to do a remake of his "Casualties of War" film that starred Penn and Fox in 1988. Difference was this film uses C-rate actors and not one likable, believable or sympathetic character which the 1st film had. Too much one-sided anti-war preaching to the audience.
DePalam did not expect to make any money at the Box Office. Showing at all int he US was a charitable act lost on th emorons who attack it without seeing it.
They also want to make sure no US Military get curious and go see it. They might have to think.
The comments in here are amazing. There isn't another film that can have so many extremely contrasted views. This means this film is a masterpiece. When people write such messages it's got to be a masterpiece.
The Free Republic morons and NeoCon jocksniffers and the Born Again Bushies and Zionists are making a deliberate effort to trash this movie, which they have not seen.
And yes I saw it and it is a masterpiece, not only because of content because of DePalma's wholly original play with a new medium, that is meta-film.
"Redacted" is the most disturbing film released since the beginning of America's war in Iraq. It is also the most successful in expressing the rage of the occupied country. The film is self-described as "Visually documenting imagined events." It is a fictionalized story based on the documented rape and mass murder committed by US infantrymen in their attack last year on an Iraqi family in Mahmudiya, a hostile Sunni Arab town south of Baghdad.
I thought the film was surprisingly good and well handled by Brian de Palma - I'll be so bold and say it's his best film since Carlito's Way. In no way is de Palma saying he hates America - he is criticizing the Bush administration that got America stuck in another Vietnam (where are the weapons of mass destruction?). And he is also criticizing the actions of a select few (the group of soldiers who thought it was OK to rape and kill Iraqi civilians - a real case by the way).
This movie is no different then the film Platoon or any other vietnam movie. He used fictitious events to show the underlying truth of how this war is affecting the lives of not only soldiers physically, but psychologically. What about the soldiers he portrays as having a heart, and were ashamed.?

Yes, war is an atrocity, and if we don't learn from it then it will never end, in fact - the original definition of war is "a battle that never ends." O'reilly knows dick about war, nor does anyone else in the media unless they went there themselves - but they are bound by contract not to discuss what they see...how's that for facts?
It is a sad way that DePalma tried to bring an end to this war. Perhaps his intentions were good, but the path he chose to display the atrocity of war (all wars!) was tasteless. This will become propaganda and was not very well thought out.
I think this film is very important; I've noticed in my visits to other countries when people suffer violent attacks they show it on television no matter how offensive or "sad" it may be. This is not tasteless, it's a thing called truth - if you don't expose people to the truth, that leaves room for ignorance, ignorance breeds hatred, and hatred breeds violence.
Of course Denmark sucks. To many perverts and msulims are over running socialist/communist Europe. It's a shame. Europa used to lead the world. Europe is now turning in to violent islamic countries. Look at Amsterdam.
Brain De Palma actually planned it out well. He is a communist and uses movies to attack America, Americans, and the United States military with his propaganda hate.
O'reily you are a stupid moron p e r i o d.I am an "operation Iraqi bullshit veteran." HOW DARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BRIAN DE PALMA YOU IGNORANT SELFISH BASTARD. SCARFACE WAS AN EARLY ATTEMPT TO WAKE US UP FROM HYBERNATION. " In this country first come the money " then anything else,how much were you paid by the right wing to talk crap in favor of the interests of the 5% multi-millioners of the American population."Hooah" for De Palmas new movie "Redacted".
As for you O'reilly,what kind of a shithead of a journalist would "suggest" or "imply" the sensorship of speech and even urge American War Veterans (supposetly "freedom fighters") to boycott movie theaters that play Brian De Palmas new movie "Reducted".The "O'Reilly" kind of a journalist. "I was there" moron you haven't seen "jack shit".You are either a hypocrite an ignorant or both O'Reilly. From an Iraqi War II Veteran (or operation Iraqi occupation for the interests of Halliberton and gang)
"Hooah"("All-right!" in army lingo) for "Ferenheit-11","Jarhead",and "Redacted". You guys are the real patriots.ENOUGH WITH THE WAR PIGS.The first Americans came to this land to escape slavery from the English Feudists (Capitalist land-nation owners),and to have equal opportunity and to exercise their freedom of speech and belief.
Fuck DEPALMA and the cowards that will not fight the JIHAD cowards on their own turf. Forget about the Jihadi pussies who cut the heads off innocent people,everyone?NEVER forget Clinton started the rumor "WMBs " were in Irag .Clinton was just too busy getting blowjobs to do anything about it or Bin Laden ! YOU PEOPLE ARE SPINELESS IN HOLLYWOOD AND THE EMENEMY OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION !
Iraq NEVER attacked us momo, so get your jingoism in check. In fact join up John wayne you racist pig , because you'll get what you deserve , fighting for oil companies .

America is a democracy. YOU choose the government. The government represents YOUR will. When you think you fucked a foreign people over and won your war, everything's peachy creamy and Bush can land his aircraft with his eyes closed and you're proud of your president. When you DON'T win a war, it's the government's fault, 'we didn't want it' etc. PATHETIC! No HUMAN BEING would agree to serve in the United States armed forces at this point in time. Period.
