Valley of The Wolves
I just saw an amazing movie. The title of the movie is ‘Valley of the Wolves’. It is, unabashedly, a political movie that showcase the Turks as good hearted and honourable people as oppose to the Americans who are seen as corrupt, insensitive, arrogant and uncouth. Basically the Americans are incorrigible buffoons whilst the Turks are honourable personas.
But beside its overt favouritism, the movie is at the moment one of the few movies(benefit of doubt here) out there about Iraq. It paints the suffering of people in Iraq and also showcase the atrocities in Iraq(be it under Saddam or what is currently being done under the self styled liberators) by focussing on the administrator whose name is Sam Marshall ( Probably a personification of Saddam and what is going on right now).
The hero or should I say heroes and a heroine are a group of Turkish special forces and one Iraqy chick (if she is iraqi). The bad news…the chick dies (unfortunate event as she’s pretty good looking). The good news..well the Turks Special Ops defeat the American task force under Sam Marshall.
Well like I said, the movie paints a rosy picture of the Turkish people. But if you want to see a movie about Iraq, this is it. I’ll give it a rating of 7 our of 10 simply because this is a commendable movie.
