Black Hawk Down [3/10]

Since Somalia's been in the news again recently and the DVD was only Kc 30 (~$1.50) and I hadn't seen it since it first came out, I decided to give it a watch before the country faded back into obscurity for another ten years. Big mistake. Now I'm really not one to throw the race card around (and sincerely mean it), but there were so many points in this movie where I couldn't help but think (or even say out loud - and I was watching it by myself) things along the lines of: "Jesus Christ!" "No way!" "You gotta be fucking kidding me!" "Wow!" - and I really hate using exclamation marks. Ol' Ridley Scot's depiction of the Somalians is on par with the way Arabs were represented in Team America, which would be fine except for the fact that Black Hawk Down is supposed to be a true story and Team America is a fucking satirical puppet movie! Jesus Christ! In the scene where the second downed helicopter is getting swarmed by hundreds of blood thirsty Somalians - who all appear to have a bad case of "the rage" - I swear I heard one of them yelling "durkha durkha mohommad jihad." Absolutely incredible.
