   Ridley Scott's 2001 epic action-war film Black Hawk Down, directed in 2001, marked a turning point in the war genre thanks to its shocking realism.

   Starring an ensemble cast led by Josh Hartnett and Ewan McGregor, it tells the story of the failed US operation in Somalia in 1993 with cinematic mastery.

   The outstanding behind-the-scenes work, with Scott himself at the helm, managed to transport us into the chaos and terror of that ambush as never seen before.

   Slawomir Idziak's impeccable cinematography captured the dust and blood of hand-to-hand combat in a brutally visceral way.

   But beyond the action and war drama, the great success lay in humanising the protagonists beyond stereotypes.

   Both the gunfight sequences and the moments of camaraderie among the Marines conveyed a bone-deep tension.

   This realistic historical reconstruction was worthy of 5 well-deserved Oscar nominations, raising the bar for the genre. A masterpiece.

   It grossed over $160 million at the box office and remained among the top grossing films in the US for several weeks.

   [Source](https://www-comingsoon-net.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/www.comingsoon.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/01/Untitled-1920-x-1080-px-5.png?resize=768,432)

   Hello friends, I'm here with another fascinating movie I watched titled Black Hawk Down and I would like to share with you here.

   The movie is about Captain Mike Steele, who leads a team of nearly 100 US Army Rangers who travel to the capital city of Mogadishu to catch the top two lieutenants of a Somali warlord.

   It begins In 1992, during the famine in southern Somalia induced by the civil war, the United Nations Security Council authorizes a military operation with a peacekeeping mandate.

   However, by 1993, conflict ensued between UNOSOM II and the Mogadishu-based militia loyal to Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

   In response, U.S. President Clinton deploys Task force ranger, consisting of 3rd Battalion/75th Ranger Regiment, Delta Force operators and flight crew of the 160th SOAR to Mogadishu to capture Aidid, who has proclaimed himself president and steals Red Cross food shipments.

   Outside Mogadishu, Rangers and Delta Force capture Osman Ali Atto, a faction leader selling arms to Aidid's militia.

   The US plans a mission to capture two of Aidid's top advisers. Before the mission, a Staff Sergeant receives his first command of Ranger Chalk Four after his lieutenant has a seizure.

   Members of his chalk include fresh 18-year-old Private First class and Specialist, a former desk clerk.

   The operation begins, and Delta Force operators capture Aidid's advisers inside the target building, while the Rangers and helicopters escorting the ground convoy take heavy fire from the rallying militia.

   Blackburn is severely injured when he falls from one of the Black Hawk helicopters, so three Humvee are detached from the convoy to return Blackburn to the UN-held Mogadishu Airport.

   Grimes is separated from the rest of Eversmann's chalk after surviving an RPG explosion.

   Just after Struecker's column departs, Black Hawk Super six-one, piloted by Chief warrant officer, is shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade.

   The chief warrant officer and his co-pilot are killed, two crew chiefs are wounded and two Delta Force snipers on board escape in an MH-6 Little Bird helicopter, though one dies later from his wounds.

   The ground forces are rerouted to converge on the crash site. The militia erects roadblocks, preventing lieutenant colonel Danny McKnight's Humvee column from reaching the area and forcing them to sustain heavy casualties.

   Meanwhile, two Ranger chalks, including Eversmann's unit, reach the crash site and set up a defensive perimeter.

   However, another helicopter, a Super six-four piloted by a Chief Warrant Officer, is also shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade and crashes several blocks away.

   With the primary Ranger forces led by Captain Mike Steele pinned down and sustaining heavy casualties, no ground forces can reach super six-four or reinforce the Rangers defending Super six-one.

   Two Delta Force snipers are inserted by helicopter to secure super six-four's crash site, where they find Durant still alive.

   Despite their heroic actions, the site is eventually overrun, two men are killed and Durant is captured.

   McKnight's column relinquishes their attempt to reach Six-One's crash site and returns to base with their prisoners and the casualties.

   The men prepare to go back to extract the Rangers and the fallen pilots and Major General Garrison asks for reinforcements from the 10th mountain division including Malaysian and Pakistani armored units from the UN coalition.

   Find out what happened next on Netflix as they prepare to extract the Rangers and the fallen pilots as the movie gets more interesting.

   Thanks for reading my post.

3. ›Film Review: Black Hawk Down (2001)@drax1020d

   

   9/11 is the event that changed the world mainly by removing the paradigm based on global perception of American invulnerability and omnipotence. However, even earlier there were events that were showing the limitations of American power, even when it was at its post-Cold War zenith. One such event, ironically, was later depicted in Black Hawk Down, a 2001 war film directed by Ridley Scott, nowadays often seen as an example of American militaristic and chauvinistic propaganda.

   The plot is based on the eponymous book of journalist Mark Bowden, based on the articles he had written for the Philadelphia Inquirer and which covered the last chapters of US military intervention in Somalia. In 1993, a year after President George H. W. Bush had sent US Marines to help the UN deliver food and humanitarian aid to an African country ravaged by famine and civil war, the US military contingent in Mogadishu had slightly different priorities. They were about to establish permanent peace, and the largest impediment to that aim was a local clan led by Mohamed Farrah Aidid and his powerful militia. General Garrison (played by Sam Shepard) had brought elite US Army Ranger and Delta Force units, which, with the help of state-of-the-art technology, used their superior training to attack, eliminate, or imprison Aidid’s top officers. However, on October 3rd, one such operation, which originally targeted two of Aidid’s chief aides, went disastrously wrong when one of the helicopters was shot down by Somali militia. What was supposed to be a routine capture turned into a rescue mission, which became even more complicated when about a hundred elite US soldiers got surrounded by thousands of Somali militiamen and armed civilians. What was about to last for half an hour turned into a night-long battle for mere survival.

   The most interesting thing and the most pleasant surprise in Black Hawk Down is Ridley Scott finally mastering the skill of properly directing action scenes after nearly a quarter of a century. And he really needed that skill in this film, because of the almost two and a half hours the running time, only about twenty minutes at the beginning are dedicated to the standard introduction of the characters. Everything else is pure combat, confusing, noisy, and full of scenes that will turn the stomach of more sensitive viewers. In fact, it can be said that Scott did so well with a depiction of the cruel reality of the war that his work can be compared with Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan. The ultra-realistic depiction of the Battle of Mogadishu owes much to the cinematography by Slawomir Idziak, which adheres to producer Jerry Bruckheimer's guidelines about his films featuring permanent twilight. In this film, there is certain artistic justification for that practice – not only does darkness reflect the mood of the protagonists, but it also depicts a totally confusing situation in which someone’s survival is decided less by skill or training and more by pure chance. Realism is also reflected in the fact that one hundred and thirty and some characters (interpreted by a small army of American, Australian, British, and Danish actors, including stars like Josh Hartnett and character heavyweights like Tom Sizemore or Jason Isaacs) with identical uniforms and hairstyles, covered in blood and dirt, are incredibly similar to each other, so Scott is forced to deviate from historical accuracy and put names on their helmets. The atmosphere of the film, on the other hand, is somewhat hampered by composer Hans Zimmer, who uses a little too much exotic motives in his soundtrack, but whose work is still slightly better than most of his usually monotonous works in the 1990s.

   Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer justified large amounts of violence and hyper-realistic bloodshed by trying to bring their depiction of the Battle of Mogadishu as close as possible to historical truth, later explaining that it was the best way to “pay homage to fallen heroes”. MPAA censors, especially in the days of patriotic hysteria following 9/11, had more understanding for it, but the realistic display of carnage doesn’t mean that the film is completely credible. Scriptwriter Nolan was forced to compress a hundred characters into about thirty characters; some for dramatic purposes, some for security reasons, and in some cases the Pentagon (which helped Bruckheimer’s production with authentic footage of the action, helicopters, and manpower) insisted on certain changes for propaganda reasons. One example is John Stebbins, one of the heroes of the battle (played by Ewan McGregor), being renamed Grimes, because in the meantime the real person was sentenced to thirty years in military prison for the rape of his daughter. On the other hand, it could hardly be said Black Hawk Down represents standard Hollywood propaganda. A couple of scenes are inserted solely for the purpose of giving at least a fraction of the Somali perspective, and the final shots even suggest that the American adventure in that African country was a mistake, resulting in meaningless sacrifice of life for something American people had no interest in or understanding. What this film celebrates is primarily the heroism of American soldiers, camaraderie, discipline, and willingness to sacrifice for fellow man – qualities that have attracted people to the military since the dawn of history. In any case, Black Hawk Down had good fortune of being released immediately after 9/11 and at the eve of the Iraq War, in a time when the US public had much more understanding and willingness to support military adventures in Third World countries. But even when seen without its political or propaganda context, Black Hawk Down delivers the goods to the audience seeking a quality war action film.

   RATING: 8/10 (+++)

4. ›[ES-EN] One of My Favorite Action and War Movies: La Caída del Halcón Negro // Black Hawk Down@joheredia211571d

   La Caída del Halcón Negro

   [Versión En Español]

   Hola Hivers amantes de las películas y series, hoy quiero presentar mi segunda entrada al concurso de la comunidad de Movies & TV Shows, un concurso sobre uno de los géneros donde hay mucho para escribir, con películas inolvidables, algunas de esas grandiosas producciones son nuevas pero otras las llegamos a ver hace muchos años atrás, sin embargo, aun al pasar los años siguen ocupando un sitio especial en nuestra mente, así es el caso de la película que deseo compartir con todos ustedes en este corto post, una gema de las películas de acción con un trasfondo bélico, La Black Hawk Down.

   

   Source

   ¿Recuerdas esta Película?

   Esta es una grandiosa película estrenada en el año 2001, que nos presenta una historia más que interesante debido a que es basada en un suceso real ocurrido en 1993, para mi es una de mis películas de acción favoritas y hoy les quiero comentar las razones.

   Primera Vez que Vi Esta Película

   Esta película es del 2001, yo acababa de cumplir 10 años poco antes de su día de estreno, por lo cual no fue en el cine cuando la logré ver por primera vez. Fue en casa con mi padre un par de años luego de su estreno. Mi padre es un amante de las películas tiene opiniones y referencias de una gran cantidad de producciones, fue el primero que me recomendó Black Hawk Down. Recuerdo claramente cuando entré en la habitación y mi padre estaba viendo esa película, inmediatamente me invitó a verla juntos, ya tenia cierta edad para soportar las escenas sangrientas así que me quedé observándola.

   

   Source

   Debido a que la primera vez que la vi era muy joven no comprendía gran parte del trasfondo, solo podía ver soldados disparando sin cesar, aunque mi padre me trataba de explicar lo que ocurría, admito que aun así no entendía la película más allá de los disparos, me dijo que era una obra de arte en forma de película de acción y guerra, no solo por sus protagonistas y efectos visuales, sino también por que era basado en una batalla real, eso quedo mi mente.

   

   Source

   Luego de esa primera vez que vi Black Hawk Down con mi padre, no les miento, tuve que verla nuevamente para poder entenderla completamente conocer el trasfondo de lo que allí ocurría, posteriormente concordé con mi padre y aun sigo de acuerdo con él, me parece una grandiosa película, desde aquel día se ha convertido en una película especial para mí, esta producción es el inicio de mi amor a las películas de acción y también sobre aquellas producciones con temas bélicos. Los que me conocen saben que me encantan las películas bélicas y mucho de eso tiene que ver con aquel día cuando mi padre me invita a ver Black Hawk Down, puedo decir que mi padre me conoce a la perfección y sabía que, aunque la película mostraba violencia (no exagerada) no me afectaría en mi adolescencia.

   

   Source

   ¿Por qué me Parece una Excelente Película?

   Basada en una Historia Real

   Siempre he dicho que este es un condimento especial en las películas y saber que observamos una película que de alguna manera recrea un suceso real le otorga un valor importante al film. El argumento de esta película nos traslada a 1993, a un país que quizás es poco conocido, Somalia, ubicado al oriente del continente africano que para aquel entonces se encontraba en una encarnizada guerra civil, por lo cual, EEUU decide intervenir para imponer la paz.

   Esta película nos lleva a la sangrienta Batalla de Mogadiscio, ocurrida dentro de la operación militar de Estados Unidos en el país africano, esta batalla marca un ante y un después sobre esa intervención estadounidense en suelo extranjero, una batalla con más de 1000 muertos somalíes y este excesivo número de muertes se siente a lo largo de toda la película, observaremos que son mucho somalíes que mueren mientras las tropas especiales de EEUU intenta cumplir con su misión y al mismo tiempo asegurar un perímetro donde uno de sus helicópteros ha caído (un Black Hawk).

   

   Source

   Al saber que esta batalla es parte de la historia militar de la humanidad es algo que inmediatamente impacta al espectador, tanta muerte esparcida en tan poco tiempo es un aspecto que lleva a pesar sobre la guerra, más allá que una simple historia para entretenerse. Al terminar de ver esta película creo que todos pasamos por algunos minutos de reflexión, sabiendo que hubo tanta muerte ese día y que las cosas definitivamente pudieron haber salido mucho mejor.

   Reparto

   La película nos muestra un reparto excepcional, si observamos esta película el día de hoy definitivamente notaremos los cambios físicos de algunos actores que cuya carrera ha crecido enormemente luego del 2001, actores como Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, William Fichtner, Tom Hardy, Eric Bana, Ewan McGregor entre otros grandes actores de la gran pantalla, incluso un joven Orlando Bloom. Una película con actores peso pesados en la industria con actuaciones bastante buenas e interpretando buenos personajes, con diferencias muy marcadas entre unos y otros.

   Uno de mis personajes favoritos es el interpretado por Eric Bana llamado Hoot Gibson, el típico militar rebelde que siempre ha encajado adecuadamente en la industria del cine, un hombre hecho para la guerra y para luchar, con algunas dosis de sabiduría y liderazgo que lo llevan a convertirse en un excelente personaje para esta película.

   

   Source

   La Acción

   Hay pocas películas que se concentran tanto en la acción y disparos como esta, a pesar de que observamos una buena introducción del film con una duración decente, una vez que llegamos a la acción esta no se detiene hasta el final.

   Acción Aplastante

   En Black Hawk Down observaremos una acción que incluso llega a afectar los sentidos, una vez que comienza la acción, esta se sostiene en el tiempo e incluso no baja la intensidad, todo lo contrario, en ocasiones lo que hace es subir los decibeles de esa acción de guerra. Esta acción es aplastante e incluso para algunos espectadores por momentos puede tornarse agobiante debido a esa intensidad que imprime la película. Por momentos sentimos que necesitamos al menos un respiro, un momento de calma para tomar aliento y seguir viendo la película ante tanta acción.

   

   Source

   Es una película que concentra mucha acción en la trama, pero siendo sosteniendo una acción de calidad y significativa, los disparos y los efectos visuales son muy buenos, aun hoy, luego de dos décadas de su estreno podemos observar esta película y quedar maravillados con esa acción incesante pero de alta factura que nos propone la Black Hawk Dow, la cual es complemente a la perfección con un buen montaje y excelentes efectos visuales para la época.

   Elite Vs Una Ciudad

   La película se desarrolla en una ciudad antagonista de las tropas norteamericanas, algo que no habían tomado en cuenta los estadounidense antes de llevar a cabo esta misión era lo fuertemente armados que estaban los somalíes en ese momento, sumado a eso, la milicia contaba con un gran número de efectivos, incluso civiles a los que se le sumaba mujeres y niños. Toda la ciudad se volcó totalmente contra las tropas estadounidenses.

   

   Source

   Esta película genera hasta cierto punto esa sensación de que no hay escapatoria, que es tal el número de enemigos que tarde o temprano terminarán por acabar con las tropas norteamericanas, un efecto que se produce cuando se observa una gran multitud de personas queriendo asesinar a los protagonistas, por momentos pensamos que la muerte les respirará en el cuello cuando se les agote las municiones y no puedan defenderse. Esta sensación incluso aparece en películas de Zombis donde los muertos vivientes son mucho más que los protagonistas, pero en este caso son personas armadas hasta los dientes.

   Observamos esa gran diferencia entre el Grupo Elite de las tropas estadounidenses contra la milicia enemiga, donde tendría muy poco o ningún entrenamiento, por lo cual esta sangrienta batalla hace perecer alrededor de 1000 somalíes y solo 19 americanos, una diferencia gigantesca que también es marcada por los vehículos y las poderosas armas por parte del ejercito norteamericano.

   

   Source

   EL Sonido

   Black Hawk Dow posee una gran dosis de acción, que proviene de disparos y explosiones por lo cual el sonido juega un papel fundamental en esa percepción de la acción por parte del espectador. Así como lo he mencionado una gran parte de la trama se desenvuelve en el campo de batalla, así que escucharemos muchos, muchos disparos y explosiones. Estos sonidos son envolventes en esta película nos introduce acústicamente a la zona de guerra por un buen rato, haciendo que la acción sea más significativa y como lo mencioné “aplastante”.

   Probablemente, luego de ver Black Hawk Dow tendremos en nuestra mente esos disparos por algunos minutos, escucharemos el sonido de las ametralladoras y los casquillos cayendo aun luego de apagar la pantalla, sentiremos la adrenalina aun luego de ver la película y ese excelente sonido de la producción tiene mucho que ver en ello.

   

   Source

   Director

   Ridley Scott es uno de esos emblemáticos directores del cine, dirigiendo películas como Blade Runner (1982) Gladiator, Hannibal y muchas otras, sin embargo, son películas que quedan en la retina del espectador y que se convierten en verdaderos clásicos del cine, indudablemente Scott le otorga un toque artístico a esta producción que, para mí, es un clásico de la acción.

   

   Source

   Conclusión

   Esta es de mis películas favoritas de acción, donde comienza mi amor al género y también al subgénero bélico, su acción incesante es una obra maestra que se complementa con un muy buen montaje y sonido envolvente, una película que llega a los sentidos del espectador y por momentos lo traslada a la zona de guerra, aunque la película acabe la adrenalina seguirá recorriendo nuestras venas, eso es lo mejor que podemos esperar de una película de acción.

   Si no la han visto, se las recomiendo completamente.

   Black Hawk Down

   [English Version]

   Hello Hivers movie and series lovers, today I want to present my second entry to the Movies & TV Shows community contest, a contest about one of the genres where there is a lot to write about, with unforgettable movies, some of those great productions are new but others we got to see many years ago, however, even as the years go by they still occupy a special place in our minds, so is the case of the movie I want to share with you all in this short post, a gem of action movies with a war background, The Black Hawk Down.

   

   Source

   Do you remember this movie?

   This is a great movie released in 2001, which presents us with a more than interesting story because it is based on a real event that happened in 1993, for me it is one of my favorite action movies and today I want to tell you the reasons.

   First Time I Saw This Movie

   This movie is from 2001, I had just turned 10 years old shortly before its release day, so it was not in the theater when I got to see it for the first time. It was at home with my father a couple of years after its release. My father is a movie lover has opinions and references of a lot of productions, he was the first one to recommend Black Hawk Down to me. I remember clearly when I walked into the room and my father was watching that movie, he immediately invited me to watch it together, I was of a certain age to endure the gory scenes so I just watched it.

   

   Source

   Because the first time I saw it I was very young I did not understand much of the background, I could only see soldiers shooting incessantly, although my father tried to explain what was happening, I admit that even so I did not understand the film beyond the shooting, he told me it was a work of art in the form of action and war film, not only for its protagonists and visual effects, but also because it was based on a real battle, that remained my mind.

   

   Source

   After that first time I saw Black Hawk Down with my father, I'm not lying to you, I had to see it again to fully understand it and know the background of what was happening there, later I agreed with my father and I still agree with him, I think it's a great movie, since that day it has become a special movie for me, this production is the beginning of my love for action movies and also about those productions with war themes. Those who know me know that I love war movies and much of that has to do with that day when my father invites me to see Black Hawk Down, I can say that my father knows me perfectly and knew that, although the film showed violence (not exaggerated) it would not affect me in my adolescence.

   

   Source

   Why did I think it was an excellent movie?

   Based on a True Story

   I have always said that this is a special spice in movies and knowing that we are watching a movie that in some way recreates a real event gives an important value to the film. The plot of this film takes us to 1993, to a country that is perhaps little known, Somalia, located in the east of the African continent, which at that time was in a fierce civil war, for which the U.S. decided to intervene to impose peace.

   This film takes us to the bloody Battle of Mogadishu, occurred within the U.S. military operation in the African country, this battle marks a before and after on that U.S. intervention on foreign soil, a battle with more than 1000 dead Somalis and this excessive number of deaths is felt throughout the film, we will observe that there are many Somalis who die while U.S. special troops trying to fulfill its mission and at the same time secure a perimeter where one of its helicopters has fallen (a Black Hawk).

   

   Source

   Knowing that this battle is part of the military history of mankind is something that immediately impacts the viewer, so much death spread out in such a short time is an aspect that leads to weighing in on the war, beyond just a story to entertain. Upon finishing watching this film I think we all go through a few minutes of reflection, knowing that there was so much death that day and that things definitely could have turned out much better.

   Cast

   The movie shows us an exceptional cast, if we watch this movie today we will definitely notice the physical changes of some actors whose career has grown tremendously after 2001, actors like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, William Fichtner, Tom Hardy, Eric Bana, Ewan McGregor among other great actors of the big screen, even a young Orlando Bloom. A film with heavyweight actors in the industry with quite good performances and playing good characters, with very marked differences between them.

   One of my favorite characters is the one played by Eric Bana named Hoot Gibson, the typical military rebel that has always fit properly in the movie industry, a man made for war and for fighting, with some doses of wisdom and leadership that lead him to become an excellent character for this movie.

   

   Source

   The Action

   There are few movies that focus as much on action and shooting as this one, even though we observe a good introduction of the film with a decent length, once we get to the action it doesn't stop until the end.

   Smashing Action

   In Black Hawk Down we will observe an action that even affects the senses, once the action begins, it is sustained over time and even does not lower the intensity, on the contrary, sometimes what it does is to raise the decibels of the action of war. This action is overwhelming and even for some viewers it can become overwhelming at times due to the intensity of the film. At times we feel that we need at least a breather, a moment of calm to catch our breath and continue watching the film in the face of so much action.

   

   Source

   It is a film that concentrates a lot of action in the plot, but still sustaining a quality and significant action, the shooting and visual effects are very good, even today, after two decades of its release we can watch this film and be amazed with that incessant action but of high quality that Black Hawk Dow proposes us, which is complemented to perfection with a good editing and excellent visual effects for the time.

   Elite Vs A City

   The film takes place in a city antagonistic to the American troops, something that the Americans had not taken into account before carrying out this mission was how heavily armed the Somalis were at that time, in addition to that, the militia had a large number of troops, including civilians to which women and children were added. The whole city turned against the U.S. troops.

   

   Source

   This film generates to a certain extent the feeling that there is no escape, that the number of enemies is such that sooner or later they will end up wiping out the American troops, an effect that occurs when you see a large crowd of people wanting to kill the protagonists, at times we think that death will be breathing down their necks when they run out of ammunition and can not defend themselves. This sensation even appears in Zombie movies where the undead are much more than the protagonists, but in this case they are people armed to the teeth.

   We observe that big difference between the Elite Group of American troops against the enemy militia, where they would have little or no training, so this bloody battle makes perish about 1000 Somalis and only 19 Americans, a huge difference that is also marked by vehicles and powerful weapons by the U.S. army.

   

   Source

   THE SOUND

   Black Hawk Dow has a large dose of action, which comes from gunfire and explosions so the sound plays a fundamental role in the perception of the action by the viewer. As I mentioned, a large part of the plot unfolds on the battlefield, so we will hear lots and lots of gunfire and explosions. These sounds are immersive in this movie, acoustically introducing us to the war zone for quite a while, making the action more meaningful and as I mentioned "overwhelming".

   Probably, after watching Black Hawk Dow we will have in our mind those gunshots for some minutes, we will hear the sound of machine guns and shells falling even after turning off the screen, we will feel the adrenaline even after watching the movie and that excellent sound of the production has a lot to do with it.

   

   Source

   Director

   Ridley Scott is one of those emblematic directors of cinema, directing films like Blade Runner (1982) Gladiator, Hannibal and many others, however, are films that remain in the retina of the viewer and become true classics of cinema, undoubtedly Scott gives an artistic touch to this production that, for me, is a classic of action.

   

   Source

   Conclusion

   This is one of my favorite action movies, where my love to the genre and also to the war subgenre begins, its incessant action is a masterpiece that is complemented with a very good editing and surround sound, a film that reaches the senses of the viewer and at times takes him to the war zone, although the film ends the adrenaline will continue to run through our veins, that's the best we can expect from an action movie.

   If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it.
