Mosul

The stories the people tell are detailed and paint a terrible picture of the Hell they are forced to live in and the hate towards ISIS and hope they feel when the military comes through. However, Ali Maula takes an interesting angle in questioning whether or not many of the civilians re telling the truth. It is a sad thing to think but does show how much distrust and discord ISIS has sown into the country. The use of actual footage of the cruelty and violence make for a shocking and utterly disturbing watch. Gabriel doesn't pull any punches and though that does make the film hard to watch, it is not for the faint of heart, he does manage to make his point more poignant and memorable. The runtime is short clocking in well under ninety minutes - however this works in the film's favor. Not only does it still manage to perfectly fit in every story and bit of information, but the quick pace gives the film a sense of urgency and energy which makes the viewing direr and memorable.

I won't talking about the technical issues cause My problem with the contain which first of is that more than two-thirds of the film was focused on footage or operations, which is easy to call that it was acting , whether it was Hanadi or Captain Alaa, while in the real battle in the last part of the film was not taken Seriously, in addition to the lack of focus on the issue of refugees and most of the meetings were with people who did not convey the true picture of what was happening inside Mosul. Also I want to see more footage inside Mosul after liberation operation.

In 2014, ISIS takes over Mosul with little opposition. It's over two years later. Disparate forces join together to take on ISIS despite their sectarian conflict. Iraqi journalist Ali Maula is embedded with a militia. He interviews captured ISIS recruiter Nasser Issa, Um Hanadi (only female commander of a militia), Captain Alaa Atah, and Sunni Sheikh "The Crocodile" Saleh.

It' s a documentary. It's fine. There are some talking heads. They are interesting players in the conflict. In the end, I'm more interested in the fight. There is a small section in the end with some war action. It's a slice of the epic events in Iraq. It's not the whole thing. This is a companion piece.

Mosul is at the top of my list for war films/documentaries, especially post-9/11 flicks. It is a brilliant combination of historical documentation and cinematic entertainment in one. The film is directed by a former CIA officer who knows the region inside and out - and it shows. It is the most accurate depiction I have seen of what really happened in Iraq.

I hated the part with iranian crew Cause they never fight and stuff & they are friendly I dont know why they did it like that which was fake but still it was a good movie But pls if you wanna create a movie go with real things not by making it up yourself:/
