Green Zone 2010

Matt Damon is the highlight. The movie is engrossing to the extent that i bit my nails to a bad shape and i dont have that habit.

The movie based in Baghdad like the hurt locker is very interesting and intriguing. The fact that it draws parallel to the real life scenario is what it makes it interesting.

Inspired from 'Imperial Life in the Emerald City' by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran, this war thriller is worth every minute.

Ironically speaking when a war is mentioned Iraq is depicted and when poverty is shown India is shown.
The plot revolves around Captain Miller(Matt Damon) working with the US Army trying to locate weapons of mass destruction in Baghdad and understands that the intelligence has been incorrect. He embarks on a journey to find the truth.

Well in some parts of the world movies form the only medium to understand a catastrophe like this. We do read the newspapers and watch countless news channels and websites, but at that time it is just news for us.
People dying are just numbers and bomb explosions usual.And as far as we are not hit directly we just dont care. But what we fail to realise is that it could me or you anyday.
Taking life and any one's dignity is no one's right and cannot be justified at any cost.
I hate to be a part of the system where vested interests manipulate man kind.
The point is clear, war is bad.

And the movie has made its point.I would rate the movie a 4.1 on 5.
