Storyline
Featured review
If you like looking inside of noses and eyeballs this film has it all.
The super close ups of the faces of people being interviewed is really annoying in this series.
The viewer doesn't need to see the eye of a person fill up the entire monitor screen. Nor does it help to show the close up of the inside of the nostrils of someone as they are telling their story.
Somehow the director or editor must have thought that this technique was innovative, because it's used every 2 minutes in the first two episodes. I'm not about to watch the 3rd.
They need to get a clue and just show us the veterans speaking like they're sitting in a room. Not like the viewer is sitting on their lap trying to examine how many nose hairs they have. Fortunately, they do pan away every once in a while a show the vet at a practical distance.
This probably could have been a good documentary of the account of the veterans experience but the inane close up techniques make it very boring very quick.
I had to stop watching, not because their stories weren't interesting but because of the trite attempt of whatever it was these super closeup shots and their redundant occurrence were trying to achieve.
I'd truly like to know, what the director or editor was thinking when they added this feature, or if they even knew that it was occurring as they filmed the interviews with the surviving veterans.
They must have known, and I would like to know what they thought might be so interesting in looking into full blown nostrils, mouths and iris's of eyeballs.
