This was too boring, although, I guess, the content was so real, it should not have been boring. Either way, I fell asleep. Here is the weird thing. The narrator speaks French. It does not say that anywhere in the description of the DVD. There are English subtitles for the French narration (which stopped after the very beginning, or so I assume, since I fell asleep), but there are French subtitles for the Iraqi voices. So I have no idea what the Iraqis were saying, not because the moviemaker wanted to convey the confusion of an American soldier in Iraq, but because he decided to subtitle the Iraqi speech in French. None of this, I will reiterate, was explained on the DVD. And in the DVD options, I had two choices for subtitles — none or Spanish.
