The Netherlands has consistently provided soldiers for U.N. peacekeeping and humanitarian missions. In Crazy, probing interviews with nine Dutch veterans of Korea, Lebanon, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bosnia illustrate that neutrality certainly does not mean indifference and that the emotional scars of war are not limited to the combatants. Displaced and disoriented, living in sheer terror in the midst of random violence, the soldiers' experiences often reflect those of the refugees they were trying to aid. When the vets have difficulty describing what they've seen or expressing their emotions, Honigmann adopts a powerful aural-visual device: she simply films the vet listening to the music that he or she associates most vividly with the tour of duty, whether it be Guns 'n' Roses' version of “Knockin' on Heaven's Door,” Puccini's Turandot, or Seal's “Crazy.” As the music accesses an emotional domain that transcends physical geography and national borders, the soldiers' suppressed pain becomes palpable. At such moments, nothing seems crazier than shipping more unprepared young recruits to another global hot spot.
