For many, these three words sre what 10 fight for in the ever-growing, stroggle against terrorism, This theme is what the 2013 American war film one Surviver speaks on. In its attempt to explain these concepts, howeves, cching their heads uying to figure out what it was trying to accomplish, Lane Survivor ig 3 ve enactment film hased on the hook of the same name dirceted by Battleship dircctor Petcr Berg and stars Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Tisch, Ben Toster and Eric Bana in the soles of a fourman Navy SEAL team trying (o track down wanted Talib teader Alumsad Shih. The film starts leaving snidiences anxiously halding their breath as they wait to see chaos break lonse ina con fasing series of montages showing gracling taining and ction scenes ia the prescat quickly throwing chem into the past before the failed mission had started. One of the main theres Usat was touched on in the first hull of Lone Survivor is the concepr of brotheshoad herween soldiers. At the very beginning of the Alm, we sce the cam talking about their relationships and messing around in between missions. It briefly serves as a way to remind us of their humanicy, and that they are not just killing machines. To has some viewers sc further show the brotherhond herwecn the men, we also see holding frarernity-like meetings, such as beforc they indoctrinate one of the new eraits. Howeves, this is the film begins co fall short. First off,after the scene where a newbie is allowed to join the SEAL fraternity int the Est ten rnimates of the film, the viewers only see him briefly one more time hefore he is forgotten hry the rest of the film. This contributes to amajor drawback, of the film in that a let of screen time in Lone Susvivor is tunately wasted on overly long scenes or montages with dialogue thas lacks good numative content, taking ‘oo much time to describe how and why they are going to capture their targer, rarher than doing 3 more brief summary, A second drawback is the apparent Lack of characterization by the actors Other than when we. arc fist. briefly introduced to characters and their families back home, we know little to nothing about who they are or how they think as individuals, which in tum makes it difficult to connect with them when they are fighting for survival Should yon go. see Survivor? Clocking in at two hours with is lack of characterization and ovesly Jong scenes, I wouldn't recommenc it to all but I would recommend it to those who hive served or somicone serving im the war or are familiar with Uhe backstory Il, Saving Private Ryan would he a erter choice with the same maralsand same story, but a difforent war.
