1. What did you lean from the movie?
The film ‘Restrepo’ reinforced my
feelings on war. I saw firsthand the terrible tragedies that happen during
battle. However, the tragedies do not leave the soldiers when the battle is
over. The interviews from the soldiers who lived the battles demonstrated how
the war stays with them even years after the fact. I learned that one cannot
just simply leave the things he or she have seen behind. This has left a
lasting impression on me.
2. What surprised you?
I was surprised at how raw the
film footage was. The film was not just made up of anecdotes. The camera crew
was right there alongside the soldiers during the fighting. The crew put their
lives on the line right with the soldiers. The crew deserves a large amount of
appreciation for the work they have done as war time journalists. Without the
work of the crew, people would not be able to see what is happening to our
American soldiers.

4. What would you like to know more about?
I would like to know where the
surviving soldiers are now. It would be interesting to see what kind of mental
health treatment that the men are receiving if any at all. This generation of
veterans is facing a unique amount of challenges. I would like to learn more
about the adjustments that these veterans coming home have to go through. I
plan on looking further into veteran treatment.
