This is yet another product of StumbleUpon to be shared with the class. A while ago I posted a photo blog of a young soldier currently serving in Iraq. I liked how it showed a more artistic perspective on the conflict and how at least one person is taking advantage of the situation that he has been thrown into. I stumbled upon this still animation a couple month back that also brings in a fresh point of view on the war. It's a short movie entitled "Men in Black" created by U.S. Army Specialist Colby Buzell. In it, he recounts the events of a particularly intense day and his part in its operations. He aims to describe his personal experiences and perhaps those of the individual soldier rather than an artistic or a political agenda. Overall, the movie is very moving, albeit not in a "Notebook" sort of manner. I even went through the trouble of finding a high-def and uncensored version for all of you. I think having bleeps over the profanities detracts from the effect.
Enjoy.
