Stop-Loss and authenticity in a time of war
I guess one upside to the war in Iraq is that, the more movies that are made about it, the more authentic they seem. This trailer for Stop-Loss indicates an attention to detail I haven’t seen in previous films; note the intentional disregard for uniform uniformity during the “you’re going back to Iraq” scene (at 00:48): Phillipe’s wearing BDUs, the personnel guy is in Class Bs, and everybody else is wearing ACUs. It’s spot on.
