I watched "Lord of the War" twice before my vacation. It was definitely not because I was crazy about this movie. The story was both disturbing and appealing in that the story was not preaching about what is right and wrong. I guess the message conveyed from this movie is about "truth."
It is sometimes painful to see, hear, and even embrace the truth. Who can say out loud that legal weapons are less evil than illegal weapons? The lord of the war may not be limited to the tyrants Western media try to portrait. The evidence shows that the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (who are all nuclear powers) have joint the gang of warlords that export weapons to the third world for a long time.
In the end of "Lord of the War," the arm dealer (played by Nicholas Cage) was set free. I guess this pretty much depicts what is happening in the world. We can do nothing about it but to pray that we can live in our safe and naive place for the rest of our lives.
