The non-US cast members (like Ewen McGregor, and Eric Bana), who did not succeed at being Americans? Sam Shepard, as the commander, who was totally miscast and really should have known better? (once a hippy, always a hippy...) The creation of such stark black and white from a situation with so many shades of grey there was no moral high ground? Or just the inaccuracies? I sat through the film with a row of teenage Somali girls in front of me, who were howling with laughter at various points in the film. You could tell their bull%$# meters were beeping all the way through the film. I came out of Black Hawk Down feeling violated as a thinking human being, a student of military history, and as a follower of current events. Oh, and Battle of Seattle, for much the same reasons. There was also someone in the cinema in front of me, rolling with laughter at the cliched portrayals of the activists and cops, who stopped to apologise to me at one point. I told her it was alright, I understood completely... CN
