This movie - it's called Savior. It's not happy. But it is beautiful, in parts. And it ripped my guts out, very quietly.

I don't describe movies well. This is what Roger Ebert said (etc): "'Savior' is a brutally honest war film that looks unblinkingly at how hate and prejudice can pose as patriotism."

Yes, that. And it's brutally human, too. God, sometimes I wish I were more political. I wish I knew how to be political. I wish all attempts to become so didn't inevitably end, very quickly, in utter hopelessness.
