The Hanging of Saddam Hussein video Was Inhumane and Barbaric

This video was a crime against humanity. You don't fight barbarism with a crummy cell phone recording of the dictator's death, you fight it with DVD Blueray IMAX level quality. What the hell is this grainy, pixilated crap?:



The entire lead-up to the execution was rushed. There should have been time for at least three cameras, all at different angles. Maybe one that centers on his face, and a head-cam for Saddam so we can get Hussein-vision. Instead, we have a strangely rushed execution that left no time for cinematic preperation. Another outrage is that no Sunni lawyer was allowed to witness this, and perhaps bring a camera of his own.

The taunting of Saddam before and after his death was also barbaric. Would it kill them to hire a professional translator to put some subtitles in so we know what they're saying? I'm missing out on the total immersion of this unique experience. Where is the pre-execution commentary, or post-execution wrap up segments?

Costume design was also poor. The executioners don't look bad ass at all, they look like mere convience store robbers or street muggers. We need blacker hoods, and maybe a big muscular shirtless guy to do the honors. Skinny men in ski masks, jackets and jeans just doesn't exude that medieval-style cool.

The climax suffered the most. Watching this for the first time, I was thinking "Yeah this quality sucks so hard but it will all be worth it seeing him die." But wait, the screen goes black right when Saddam falls through the hole. Wonderful. We don't even get to see how hard his body snapped, if he struggled against the noose or anything. All we got was blue balled. To lead us on like this, tantalize us with promises of a great death, then deny us the payoff is inhumane. And how would Saddam feel? To leave the world in amatuer-level cinematography is cruel and unusual.

I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD for deleted scenes and director's commentary.
