Small Scale Research Project

I have begun to ponder some ideas for my small scale research project and here's what I have come up with;

I think I will be looking at the way American/Western troops/soldiers are represented in more realistic, documentary-style war films such as Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" and Nick Broomfield's "Battle For Haditha".

Exploring the way that soldiers are often portrayed in modern war films and looking at the way representations of the U.S. Army has shifted from a glamorised and stylised view to a more realistic portrayal that shows soldiers and their actions in a more 'neutral' light, where there is no clear cut protagonist or antagonist in terms of wars such as Vietnam and Iraq.
