Back


"AN AMAZINGLY VIGOROUS WORK AND DePALMA's STRONGEST CINEMATIC STATEMENT SINCE 'CASUALTIES OF WAR'." -- Richard Corliss, Time "THE ONLY IRAQ FILM I WOULD RANK ALONGSIDE 'NO END IN SIGHT' IN THE CATEGORY OF ESSENTIAL VIEWING." -- Scott Foundas, LA Weekly "De Palma's anger and frustration with the media course through 'Redacted' like an electrical current." -- Stephanie Zacharek, Salon


"A SENSATIONAL FILM. DePalma's filmmaking skills have seldom been as razor sharp." -- Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter
A fictional story inspired by true events, REDACTED is a unique cinematic experience that will force viewers to radically reconsider the filters through which we see and accept events in our world, the power of the mediated image and how presentation and composition influence our ideas and beliefs. A profound meditation on the way information is packaged, distributed and received in an era with infinite channels of communication, REDACTED utilizes a variety of created source material—video diaries, produced documentary, surveillance footage, online testimonials, news pieces—to comment on the extreme disconnect between the surface of an image and the reality of ideas and the truth, especially in times of strife.

Centered around a small group of American soldiers stationed at a checkpoint in Iraq, REDACTED alternates points of view, balancing the experiences of these young men under duress and members of the media with those of the local Iraqi people, illuminating how each have been deeply affected by the current conflict and their encounters with each other. The charged apotheosis of Brian De Palma's filmmaking career, REDACTED caps off a body of work which has explored the politics of image-making and reception more fully than any living filmmaker.

Now all the crazies & muzzlers are going to HIDE my comments & give it a cool THUMBS DOWN. Keep up good work everyone. Keep your heads up each other's asses while the extreme muslims takeover. You'll be fine;)

I'd also be glad to tell all of the raped (by extreme muslims), abused, covered women of Iraq that: "So sorry. No more being free & equal. Crazy lefties said you don't like it. Back to the stone age for you. Kisses."

But nevermind. That is a lie told by the leftwing media isn't it?

Okay, I thought you were a Conservatist? Now you sound like a typical ignorant neo-Con southern. Look, the extreme right-wingers had their chance with Bush, and they failed miserbly.

I am sure Muslim extremists can do better than the way Bush did it. You may call me a Muslim extremist, but remember, I hold a degree in Computer Science and an MBA, and I can use my head way better than 99% of neo-Cons. You guys use your Bible for every-day decision-making, while I use facts and critical thinkin

"you should change yourself before we throw you out of the country"

Wow! It's unbelieveable how truly stupid & ignorant in the purest defintitions of the words you are. If that is how you feel, great. Am I going to threaten to "throw you out of the country?" No. We don't throw out who we disagree with. Hate this country or disagree. Ok. But you obviously know NOTHING except how to spell & punctuate. Don't conservatives want to conserve the US's values? Extremist? WRONG! Unbelieveable.
forestrain2007 (November 17, 2008 at 9:11 pm)
Conserve values? Do we even have such conservatives left in the country? Saying to cut a prez candidate's head isn't conservatism, because crap like that has never happend before. Today's conservatism is more about spending trillions on wars, cutting fundings on educations and health care, because conservatives assume everyone can afford health care. I do not agree with welfare, but today's conservatism is more about racism, warmongering, and extremism while holding a bible and a gun.

Reread the post. I said Muslims dont' give people money and visas to convert to Islam, like Christians do. Work on reading comprehension.

Lol, and that's because you're having a lot of children per family and whipping them if they don't go to the mosque 5 times a day? How moral.
forestrain2007 (November 4, 2008 at 2:45 pm)
No retard. I was talking about the number of converted people to Islam. Islam is gaining more converts than Christians, JEws, Hindus, or any other religions.

Islam doesn't even give them money, like you coward Christians do. Muslims don't tell others, "convert to Islam and we will give you a visa to a rich Muslim country, like UAE or something." While as you guys say, "to get in to our country and get free money from govt, convert to Christianity." You guys are still losing though.
