The Valley Of Elah Analysis

In the Valley of Elah is an entertaining American film whose movie story focuses on investigation on the death of a military member. In this movie, we can see a tough American military dad research skills outweigh local detective police. Besides following the back story of the war in Iraq, most of the characters are military men and local police officers. The terrific casting at military base, and the wonderful acting along with perfect production design make the movie more authentic and realistic. This movie starts with a call from a military base to an old veteran that his son is missing from his base. The old military veteran, Tommy lee Jones, as Hank Deerfield drives to a military base to find out where his beloved son, Mike
Deerfield, is. Days later, the burned and dissected body of Mike is found outside the town, which is a little bit far from a fast food restaurant, where Mike’s credit card slip is found. The old patriotic man, Deerfield, immerse himself into the investigation because of the situation that there is a huge jurisdictional resentment between the military and local police. Emily Sanders, a frustrated detective is the only one who is working with Deerfield. The smuggler or the drug dealing around the base, and the behavior of the army make the military environment unsound. After a while, Deerfield came up with some clues, such as credit card slip, photographs and video clips that may indicate the death of his son. The outcome is difficult to anticipate. As a result, we have to wait until the end of the movie. Finally, I found that the movie is entertaining as a mystery because of its terrific casting and acting that make the film highly convincing
