    • Abstract:
      In this article the author discusses a number of motion pictures that deal with the American-led war in Iraq. Films examining the war and the plight of veterans are compared, the author contrasting films that depicted the Second World War with those that used the Vietnam conflict and Iraq as their backdrops. The author focuses on two Iraq-themed motion pictures, "Badland," written and directed by Francesco Lucente and "Home of the Brave," directed by Irwin Winkler from a screenplay by Mark Friedman.
