Eye in the Sky -movie

Eye in the Sky not review This is a very intense film which looks at how the industrial world conducts war with drones. In this particular examination the war is against terror, but could easily be substituted with any group and the questions posed would still be relevant. The important thing to keep in mind when watching this film is to listen to the arguments as they are proposed. I don’t know that this film is likely to change the mind of anyone and where they stand on the use of drones. I do think that it does at least start the mental dialogue and perhaps actual discussion of now that these weapons exist how, when, and where, do we use them. They are not going away, they are too valuable and provide real time information so that missions can be adjusted to meet the ever changing circumstances of operations in the field. Yet while the create options there are limitations and with those limitations come dilemmas. With increasing and up to the minute intelligence many questions are answered which allow for better decisions and also ethical and moral dilemmas. There are many questions posed and many dilemmas brought to the scenario without making it seem like a quagmire of what ifs being posed just of the sake of making the arguments. The questions and problems fit to the story and feel like they are realistic for our world today. This film does not pull punches while it is not gory, it is a realistic look at what happens in war. As we become much smaller as a world and allied nations will have common opponents on the world stage and military operations will become and have become combined and with that come other questions of different political and other ideological concerns when it comes to war and warfare. The film explores the combatants in this film who are in very different environments some are in harm’s way in the operational zone and others are not and the face of warfare can be conducted without even being in the same time zone. I do not think the purpose of this film is to direct anyone to a specific point of view but rather to get the people thinking and talking about the modern face of war and peace. Peace is always the better option, no matter what, it is always better to live and let live but we are not always given an option for Peace in the world. All in all, this is a great film, well worth the hour and forty-five minutes. Well, that’s all for now, other stuff to follow most likely Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday Thank you for reading, please subscribe, Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
