Abstract

The article focuses on the film *Warfare*, directed by former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Alex Garland, which recreates a real 2006 Iraq War mission in Ramadi that went wrong. The movie aims to provide an authentic depiction of modern combat, honoring SEAL Elliott Miller, who was gravely injured and lost memory of the operation. Filmed with rigorous military training for actors and based on firsthand accounts from the actual SEAL team, *Warfare* uses military jargon and immersive sound design to reflect the realities of war. Mendoza intends the film to serve as a conversation starter for veterans and civilians alike, highlighting the challenges faced by service members and advocating for greater societal support for returning troops.
