The Flowers of War

03:02:00

Fear, different ideologies, economic situation or a sense of honor contribute to the arousal worst human traits and behaviors. We taught ourselves how to kill, how to produce weapons of mass destruction. We incorporated our survival skills to create more efficient ways of wiping out our own species from the surface of the Earth. Instead of putting all the effort to inventing drugs for cancer and incurable diseases, instead of fighting with poverty, illiteracy and economic gap, we join the armed conflict. War is expensive. It requires sacrifices: weapons bought, uniforms sewn, soldiers fed, dead bodies in a number of million buried in the ground. It brings alive the worst in human: it allows a grown man to rape an innocent girl, it allows prostitution to flourish and leaves no place for sanctity.  This is one more view on the hostilities of war and what is can do to the most innocent. A moving film and a lesson for us all.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
