Review of Heavy Metal in Baghdad (2007) by Andy Z — 30 Jul 2008
Wow, Iraq looks AWESOME! Oh wait...no, no it doesnt. The movie is set up to be a documentary on the only metal band in Iraq - Acrassicauda, but as it turns out we find out more about life in a warzone than anything else.
Regular dudes who want nothing more than to grow their hair out, wear Metallica shirts and not fear death at every turn.
A great movie when it comes to explaining the ridiculous circumstances of coming into Baghdad, how to land a plane without being shot down, how you will be shot if you speak English on the street...its was probably the 2nd time outside of the Michael Moore 9/11 movie where I actually felt for the people in Iraq.
Great stats too, about 2.4 Million Iraq's have fled to Syria, but only about 500 have been allowed into the US...
Rent it, or borrow it from me.
