New Showbiz Analysis

Éléonore Weber’s documentary avoids traditional character development to question the ethics of observation. Using helicopter footage from American and French forces, the film shifts focus from individual heroism to the broader system of remote warfare. The film excels in its cultural critique, deconstructing the morality of the observer and Western institutional power. It avoids patriotic clichés and opts for a formalist examination of surveillance. However, the reliance on detached, aerial perspectives means the film lacks specific representation for LGBTQ+ identities or disabilities. It serves more as a systemic critique than a study of individual human diversity.
