Lord of War
Rating: ★★★★★ Category: Movies Genre: Other Caught a part of it on HBO, but that was enough for me to be taken in and won over on its underlying theme - the international arms trade and their practitioners. The film goes on to intimately portray the deep social aversion and moral dilemma suffered by and impressed upon individuals who are caught up in the delicate situations that revolved around such a dangerous profession. The agony of a gradual and seemingly irreversible decay of the soul, due to damaged relationships, is poignantly conveyed. All this at the expense of a perceived overwhelming need for "a necessary evil", of the perpetuation of illegal international arms trading, for which I do admit to give assent as well, in this dark and ugly world.
