The film "Warfare" co-directed by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza offers a unique perspective on a failed mission in Iraq through personal testimonies of soldiers. Critics, including Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz, explore how this film differs from historical war narratives by prioritizing firsthand accounts, ultimately providing a more emotional resonance. They reflect on how historical depictions of conflict, like those from Virginia Woolf and Vietnam films, stack against the deeply personal storytelling found in "Warfare," enabling viewers to engage with the themes in a more subjective way.
"Warfare, a new movie co-directed by filmmaker Alex Garland and former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza, recreates a disastrous mission in Iraq, emphasizing firsthand experience."
"The hosts discuss how 'Warfare' brings us closer to a certain kind of truth while allowing viewers to project their own ideologies onto the film."
