The film “War” provides insight into real events in Iraq

The film *War* was aired by a British TV channel. The audience is placed among a platoon of U.S. Navy SEALs. The unit is fighting insurgents in Iraq. The film was written and directed by combat veteran Ray Mendoza and filmmaker Alex Garland, reports https://xrust.ru/. It is a reconstruction of events from that time. Back in 2006, a real operation had failed. The creators stayed true to the memories of the participants. *War* is a sequel to Garland’s 2024 film *Civil War*, on which Mendoza worked as a military consultant. The cast includes Cosmo Jarvis, Will Poulter, Charles Melton, Joseph Quinn, and Kit Connor. The film pays tribute to an injured sniper, Elliott Miller, portrayed by Jarvis, whose recollections of the events are sparse. The filmmakers established a rule: not to invent or exaggerate anything and to depict the events as accurately as possible. *War* portrays young men taking positions in a residential building during the darkness of the night. It highlights their close bond and the chaos that ensues when they come under fire and attempt to evacuate wounded soldiers. The filming of *War* took place outside of London over five weeks in early 2024. As preparation for the prolonged takes and meticulously choreographed scenes, the actors underwent an intense three-week training camp.
