Green Zone, sweet combination between fact and fiction

Green zone is an action-thriller film maker's top concern, Paul Greengrass. The film is inspired by the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by Rajiv Chandrasekaran of a journalist who said she had written directly in the green zone in Baghdad. Greengrass previous success with movie-quality action film kind of Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Ultimatum, and dokudrama film, United 93. This is the third time collaboration between the filmmaker with actors Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear was accompanied by, and Amy Ryan.

Once the film's story begins several weeks after Allied forces invaded Iraq. Roy Miller (Damon) and his team were given the task of seeking weapons of mass destruction based on intelligence information from them. In searches at three locations, Miller and his team always go home empty-handed. Miller considers intelligence information was wrong but all denied by his superiors. Once Miller was doing a search on a location, he got the info from a local resident named Freddy, that at a secret meeting place of the ongoing Iraqi officials. Miller, who ambushed the location of the shock due to unexpectedly meeting was attended by generals of Saddam's right hand, Al-Rawi. Furthermore, Miller helped dismantle Freddy tried to hold high-level conspiracy and relationship with Al-Rawi weapons of mass destruction which causes allies invaded Iraq.


Greengrass also previously been made "interpretation" kind, through his film Bloody Sunday and United 93. The fact is the key in her hand and Greengrass just trying to interpret the beginning of an event through the data, books, documents and so forth. In the Green Zone, the fact that he held was not found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq after the invasion. Greengrass with very attractive to combine facts with fictional stories (fiction) into a spectacle that is very entertaining and suspenseful. The movie describes how a Chief Miller contributed with only the help of a local population who uncover a conspiracy that made Washington officials gave false information is a major cause allies invaded Iraq.

In the movie this time Greengrass returned with a distinctive style that is, using handheld cameras and editing techniques quickly. To strengthen the nuances of "documentaries" Greengrass film also presents a picture with "flicker" (ant). These techniques make the Green Zone like a documentary. Especially in action scenes the camera moves faster and editing is rough and even faster. The above techniques also make acting his players seem more natural.

No doubt the Green Zone would reap a lot of controversy because it attacked U.S. government policies related to the invasion of Iraq. Really can not be trusted plot nuances "anti-American" like these can be produced by Hollywood. Renowned documentary film maker, Michael Moore, commented "I can not believe this movie got made. It's been stupidly marketed as an action movie. It is the most honest about Iraq War movies made by Hollywood. " I do not know conspiracies are true or not, whatever it is the Green Zone is a highly entertaining spectacle slick and can be considered as one of the best work of the cinematographer. "I do not know conspiracies are true or not, whatever it is the Green Zone is a highly entertaining spectacle slick and arguably one of the best works of the filmmakers.
