Scary picture, right?
As some reviews say, the Full Battle Rattle film, opening at New York film Forum tomorrow, is like a practice piece until you can handle the real documentary about the Iraq War. Full Battle Rattle is more like a simulation of a documentary about the Iraq War than an actual example. It’s all about simulation here, actually.
Full Battle Rattle is the story of a real war and a fake town. In California’s Mojave Desert the US army has built “a virtual Iraq”, a billion dollar urban warfare simulation (formerly known as the National Training Center at Fort Irwin), and populated it with hundreds of Iraqi role-players. Army units spend three weeks inside the simulation before deploying to Iraq. The film follows the army through the simulation.
