Reality Based Films Since September 11, 2001 we have seen an increase in war films Nowhere near the amount of war films made during WWII and the Vietnam War. Generation Kill, being one of many films based on books with roots set in reality, has given rise to many other films which are similar. Jarhead and The Hurt Locker also depict recent events in Desert Storm and the War on Terror, in a way preserving many peoples feelings during this time period. Austin Carpenter

Documentary War Films War documentaries of the past have become the history of those wars, helping to bring documentary works to the national spotlight The recent war films show signs of ambiguity rather than support for the wars. Will current documentaries be seen in the same light as the past ones? Austin Carpenter
