Trivia:
Leguizamón mentions that over 290 veterans had committed suicide after the war, and indicates that this is the same as the name number of casualties there during the war. Argentine casualties during the war totalled 649, of which 321 were killed when the Admiral Belgrano was sunk. If Leguizamón was counting only the casualties on the Falklands themselves, his figure is roughly correct. Source: Wikipedia moreGoofs:
Continuity: The sweat patterns on Leguizamón's jacket change in the two shots immediately after he leaves the infirmary. moreFAQ

The first real movie about Malvinas war, relating the cruel way the incompetent heads of the Argentinian army sent those boys to a war they didn't want. And the movie gets short telling the real story, which was worst than it appears here. Frozen, hungry boys, fighting a war for keeping in their throne the decadent military government. Extrictly the movie is very good. Gaston Pauls confirm his great moment, and the moods and language of the Argentinean military men is very well exposed. The war scenes are not so good, but you can feel the frozen wind in your feet when the soldiers are waiting for the enemy. No love to motherland, no hating the enemy, only the expectation for an early ending, and back home to mom, girlfriend, and family. No special effects, no needing of it. You get involved with the characters, in a very special way. The storytelling is quite slow, but accordingly with the interminable waiting for the enemy, in that frozen tundra, with unprepared equipment. Iluminados por el fuego is a documentary film for all Argentineans, but a testimony of the useless suffering of our soldiers. Don't expect an action war film, as "saving private Ryan". This is no action, is real life, and it hurts.
