Subject: [MV] Black Hawk Down
Remember the beach scene at the start of Pvt. Ryan? That scene times 10
equals Black Hawk Down.
They did some awful things to a lot HMMWVs, and this deuce really took some
hits and kept on going till... (you have to see it). A lot of great MV
scenes throughout, especially for the HMMWV's. I had no idea what a role
they had till now.
Mounting a .50 on em and having to stick your head up through the roof to
fire it always seemed like a bad idea to me, now I know it was.
When it was over and we were walking out I noticed a lot of people wiping
their eyes, leaving very quietly.
Think I will go have a beer and try to calm down now...I feel in shell shock
after seeing this movie.
