Redacted - Brian De Palma Now on Ultra VOD In Theatres 11/16

"AN AMAZINGLY VIGOROUS WORK AND DePALMA's STRONGEST CINEMATIC STATEMENT SINCE 'CASUALTIES OF WAR'." -- Richard Corliss, Time "THE ONLY IRAQ FILM I WOULD RANK ALONGSIDE 'NO END IN SIGHT' IN THE CATEGORY OF ESSENTIAL VIEWING." -- Scott Foundas, LA Weekly "De Palma's anger and frustration with the media course through 'Redacted' like an electrical current." -- Stephanie Zacharek, Salon


"A SENSATIONAL FILM. DePalma's filmmaking skills have seldom been as razor sharp." -- Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter
A fictional story inspired by true events, REDACTED is a unique cinematic experience that will force viewers to radically reconsider the filters through which we see and accept events in our world, the power of the mediated image and how presentation and composition influence our ideas and beliefs. A profound meditation on the way information is packaged, distributed and received in an era with infinite channels of communication, REDACTED utilizes a variety of created source material—video diaries, produced documentary, surveillance footage, online testimonials, news pieces—to comment on the extreme disconnect between the surface of an image and the reality of ideas and the truth, especially in times of strife.

Centered around a small group of American soldiers stationed at a checkpoint in Iraq, REDACTED alternates points of view, balancing the experiences of these young men under duress and members of the media with those of the local Iraqi people, illuminating how each have been deeply affected by the current conflict and their encounters with each other. The charged apotheosis of Brian De Palma's filmmaking career, REDACTED caps off a body of work which has explored the politics of image-making and reception more fully than any living filmmaker.

I feel De Palm is the only person who has the balls to tackle such an issue when America are still at war and an unpopular war at that..so he's breaking new ground by Directing something away from what he's does best..those who don't know his films are under that oppion.

This is complete bullshit. How did you free them when you enslaved/occupied them? I am pretty sure those "freed" are asking back not to be freed. I don't hear Iraqis loving you right now, instead they want you out.

Just remember, when Muslim Obama wins, you neo-Cons and extremists will lose all power. The American people rejected your extremist ideology and you should change yourself before we throw you out of the country to install your own Nazi military in Germany.

I have not seen this. I thought it was a short film? Regardless, this looks very uncomfortable to watch. I hear whatever is out there is not DePalma's original cut which is a shame but is not a surprise to me.

Now think how retarded you sound. How are regular everyday normal Americans going to persuade or influence the government to stop a war? Even if we band together, hold rallies, or make petitions against it. I don't see why we should feel shameful or guilty for what other Americans do. That's like hating on a majority of colored peoples (for example) just because one black man rapes and kills a dozen girls. Now corruption and deception, every country is corrupt these days. But who is the most?

@santino7777 anyone can make a movie. only idiots let them manipulate their views.
