			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I probably should have waited longer to review Miracle at St. Anna properly because I feel like I&#8217;m still digesting it, it wasn&#8217;t at all what I was expecting. From the previews, it looks like a caper film with a military backstory. I think I was expecting something like &#8220;The Inside Man&#8221;, but instead it ended up being a really shockingly brutal but interesting take on buffalo soldiers and their role in WW2 Italy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-236" title="miraclestanna" src="http://lunarbovine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/miraclestanna.jpg" alt="miraclestanna" width="450" height="302" /></p>
<p>The movie&#8217;s got a really broad range of emotional notes, light happy moments and dark visceral massacres, all juxtaposed and edited in quick succession so just when you think you&#8217;re getting a break, there&#8217;s another genocide coming to even things out. Most of the time it was too dark and intense for me &#8211; I shut it off midway through the first evening watching it, figuring I probably didn&#8217;t need to see any more bodies before bedtime.</p>
<p>Not sure what to make of the film. I found it frustrating to watch and there were a lot of slow parts, the characters were ironically kindof stereotypical (If I see another childlike lumbering black giant in a film this year I&#8217;m walking out), a plot point turns out to be a pointless Macguffin, half the time I have no idea what&#8217;s going on, and the pacing was off. But I&#8217;m glad I saw it anyhow?</p>
