Before Christmas we saw a movie in English class called “The vally of Elah”. It was about a father that got a massage that his son was missing after a night out with some of his friends in the military. No one knew what had happened to him, but he was found besides a road. There he had been stabbed with a knife many times and put on fire. His father refused to give up trying to find out what happened to his son. He drove to this place and started to talk to his son’s friends and investigating on his own. At the end he finally found out what had happened and who had killed him.
This was a really strong and emotional film. It is about the relationship between a father and his son. And his strong intentions to not live without knowing what had happened. It is always hard to see things like this, because of the emotions that come out when someone looses a person that is close to them. I think it was a really good film, but sadly we did not get to see the end. I strongly recommend it.
it is a good film, and I think we should try to find time to see the end. It is also about the post-war syndrome and the after effects of the war. How a perfectly normal boy could end up killing his own friend and how the others are covering it up. Important issues.
