Great movie, excellent message!, 9 January 2007
10/10
Author: grendelg from United Kingdom

The visuals in this film are spectacular! The lighting is artfully executed. The story, very well-written by Ms. Spicuzza, follows a graduate student who has studied American history, the first step in education, but has never truly experienced the inhumanity and corruption of the business of war. As we witness some of the dreadful similarities between Vietnam and Iraq, its attacks on the poor, "Field Day" offers us a personal approach to these themes, I hail the filmmakers for their daring. I'm not surprised that I haven't seen this picture in a multitude of festivals. The material is simply too controversial, which is what makes the work truly shine.
