Based in the Mogadishu war in Somalia, Black Hawk Down depicts the reality of what goes around in a war. A group of American troops are sent to Mogadishu to capture the warlord, Aiddid. However, a mission that is supposed to take few minutes ends up taking more than a day. The scene when the Black Hawk comes crashing down is probably one of the best scenes in the movie, and an important one as well. Soon after that, the movie starts catching up and then it's about two sides trying to win the battle.
A soldier who becomes deaf after an explosion is one of my favorite characters in the movie. He not only keeps his spirit high but manages to make us laugh from time to time.
Hence, even though the movie is grim and sad, there are funny sides to it as well.
