20 Days in Mariupol

One of those sharp, cut to the bone docos that perfectly captures the turmoil of its times – powerful for the most part, especially for the intimacy that Chernov brings to his on-the-ground coverage (though is the intercutting of archival news footage having clearly picked up on his work a vaguely tasteless “humble-brag”?) though there’s also a slightly contrived, performative feel to some of the material, (“I want your cameras to see….” etc.) Worthwhile as historical record, if nothing else.

Strong footage of the impact war has on innocent individuals caught up in it.

It's crazy watching this in the spring of 24 knowing that if it had unfolded in Gaza, our media would be amplifying the idea that it's all self-defence, the hospital and everyone in it are legitimate targets, the maternity victims were actors and every corpse we see is a potential terrorist.

Mstyslav Chernov: "When we were in the hospital, one of the doctors told me, "War is like an X-Ray. All human insides become visible. Good people become better, bad people worse"."

This is a tricky one to rate. It's an important documentary, and it's well done. But it's brutal and difficult to watch. So I didn't "enjoy" it, but I appreciate it.

Shows that the brutal, shocking and disturbing footage we see on the news is just the tip of the iceberg.

Certainly one of the most important documentaries of our time, even if it doesn't bring anything new to those following the news. Well, it brought a lot of the material we saw on the news earlier.

böyle bir şey nasıl puanlanır, ne olsa 60, ne olsa 90 verirdim bilmiyorum açıkçası.
