Warfare film – Real purpose Navy SEALs faces blurred out through the credit | Films | Entertainment | EUROtoday

Warfare, which hits cinemas right now, is being hailed by critics as top-of-the-line new conflict movies since Dunkirk and 1917.

The hyperrealistic film is co-written and directed by Ray Mendoza, a former Navy SEAL, recreating his platoon’s reminiscences of a terrifying battle with jihadis through the Iraq War in November 2006.

At the tip of the movie, a number of real-life vets, together with survivors with life-altering accidents, are proven behind the scenes on set serving to information the actors portraying them.

During the credit, footage of the true males are positioned towards the celebrities enjoying them, however lots of them are blurred out. Here’s why.

According to Warfare’s Production Notes: “Photographs of the SEALs who participated in the Ramadi operation appear over the film’s credit sequence opposite the actors who played them. Faces of the real-life SEALs were blurred for various reasons; some former SEALs requested privacy, could not be located, or did not want to reveal their faces because they are in active service in the present day. Through the credits sequence the filmmakers also sought to present Elliott Miller on both sides of his combat experience, to show the devastating effects of warfare on one person in particular and how revisiting the operation that left him permanently scarred could also provide catharsis and closure.”

Warfare is out now in UK cinemas.
