Lord of War

Just after reading the Economist article about Sudan, I saw a fantastically well made movie with a fantastic topic: Lord of War. It is a movie about something we all know that it is happening; just nobody said it so loud and clear. It is about arm trade and about the financing of the wars around the world.

Coming from a fairly corrupt country is not that shocking to see how the system works. It is shocking to see how those people think and act….

The story is based on real fact, and it is about and arm dealer who starts with selling one gun and with time becomes the biggest freelancer arms dealer in the world, his arms being used in 8 out of the 10 biggest wars. Through his eyes and thinking we can get very good insights in how this arms dealing functions, the rules and principles of this business and some consequences of this trade. He has some very good comments through the movie which are available on the movie’s website as well….

I think if you are a person who really wants to know how this world functions, you have to see this movie. But again…. you can see thousands of ads for Chicken Little, but not for a movie like this….
