Just finished seeing it, thought is was an excellent movie.



The part that got to me the most was the photos at the ending credits...  RIP Hero's

I liked it, but I wish they didn't embellish the ending. No need for it. Hollywood can't leave anything alone.

Falling, more falling, falling some more, and falling again. Oh yah, and being shot while falling.

Many mistakes made in Bravo Two Zero seemed to have plagued operation red wings

I think we need more lone survivor threads that just deal with the last scene.

We don't have enough.

So exactly what parts of that movie are based on what really happened?

The Blu Ray's extra features are worth a watch.

Comparing book to movie:
He was treated by the village and they swore to protect him (fuck if I remember the name Pashtun~~~~ something).  They moved him out of the village for a short while and they hid his weapons so he would not be seen as a sniper.  One of village elders walked all the way to the base and let them know where he was, there was no final battle scene.  Someone somewhere has argued the authenticity of the numbers the team faced but that is outside of both realms.

My personal opinion the movie should have ended with him talking with the families as discussed in the beginning of the book.  That would hammer home the cost of what they did.  Hell it could be non scripted actual interviews of the real families and not a single person would leave the theaters without crying.  The book and the movie being what they were, people tend to forget real men died bravely next to their brothers.

Operation Red Wings was the SEAL community's ego that got people killed.  They shouldve never been on that mountain in the first place.
