I think that Hetherington’s vision was to communicate the soldier’s lives to the public. He wanted to bring more attention to the lives of those people who were risking there lives. I think Junger thought of him as a risk taker. He would be prepared for anything. I’m not sure if heroic is the right word, however, he was very brave to do all the things he did and go to all the places he went.
I wasn’t too sure what his vision was when I was looking at his photographs at the Yossi Milo Gallery website. In almost all the photographs, the men were sleeping. The trailer did seem interesting, though. Reading Junger’s obituary helped me understand the importance of the film a bit more.
