September Tapes (2004) Encontro Fatal - Trailer High

ENG - Less than a year after the attacks of September 11, a journalist/filmmaker and his crew snuck into Afghanistan to do a story on the bounty hunters tracking Osama Bin Laden. They wound up in Kabul asking questions and seeking information and finding themselves the only Americans in a city where Americans are hated. This is one man's mission to discover the elusive truth about the war and 9/11--a behind-the-scenes...

PT - O perigoso Osama Bin Laden está no centro deste filme, que mistura ficção e realidade ao contar a história de um jornalista de Nova York que viaja para o Afeganistão determinado a encontrá-lo. A história se passa no verão de 2002 - ou seja, um ano depois dos atentados de 11 de setembro - e consiste em oito videoteipes gravados por uma equipe de documentaristas. Alguns podem argumentar que o filme funciona como uma metáfora da inutilidade da guerra norte-americana contra o terror. O filme prima pelo tom realista, pois, além de mostrar cenários naturais, conta com a participação espontânea de afegãos. Num suspense crescente, Encontro Fatal revela que muitas vezes aquilo que é apenas sugerido pode ser mais assustador do que aquilo que é mostrado de fato.
Além do assunto controverso, há uma polêmica à parte: quando o filme estreou no festival de Sundance, em janeiro de 2004, o diretor Christian Johnston afirmou que aquela era uma versão incompleta do longa, pois ainda seriam incorporadas cenas que haviam sido confiscadas pelas autoridades. De qualquer forma, o diretor merece elogios apenas pela coragem de abordar com tanta sinceridade um assunto tão urgente. Encontro Fatal adota a mesma estrutura do sucesso A Bruxa de Blair ao mostrar para os soldados na fronteira com o Paquistão as gravações supostamente documentais.

[Johnsonss25]

OMFG! YES! I have been searching for this movie for years because I saw it once and forgot the name. Sweeeeeet!

[skipperD95]

I love movies like this where they just look absoultely real

[lanious2]

lmao this was so fake but good film

@gstegman1111 i did not say I agree with you. and since your words are carefully chosen, near to unprovoked trolling, i think you are smart enough to get what I am saying. and yes I am enlisted in the military. my words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap. ill put it this way, you are a disgrace to society.

[gstegman1111]

@cebuanoguy So you apparently you agree with me... well with everything except the use of the nomenclature "website" which apparently isn't a word that's "hip" on the "intranet" anymore. I applaud you for your knowing more about cyberspace trends than I do. I'm sure that and throwing out Semper Fi at your local Midwest watering hole will get you a free Pabst.

@gstegman1111 website? hahahaha, that's an internet saying passed down every year, its far close to reality buddy.

Marines- 0311- Semper Fi

[gstegman1111]

@cebuanoguy No I am sorry, you are lost. I fully understand the role SEALs/SAS operators play in warfare. I was simply using them as examples of the pinnacle of military training/expertise. I meant that no soldier no matter how well-trained or skilled would even put himself in this position, let alone survive, yet this guy is playing Rambo. I was merely mocking people who thought this was real. You need to go to a different website if you want to "dazzle" people with your military know-how.

[cebuanoguy]

@gstegman1111 you are lost :p, don't compare the navy seal or british sas to these guys (if this movie was real). Special forces are stealth soldiers. If you were gonna compare this guy, then compare him to an army ranger or marine soldier. 1st battalion 75th ranger, 3d battalion 6th marines

[gstegman1111]

This is not real. Come on, a guy filming while he is running for his life AND shooting an AK? No Navy SEAL/British SAS baddass could or would ever be able to do that. Don't you think this film would be known by every person in the US 6 years after it was made?

It was completely scripted, it's called a faux-documentary, ala Blaire Witch Project

(but actually rad).
