Escape to the Movies: Zero Dark Thirty

[RandomMan01]

Honestly, when I heard about this movie being made, I was a bit confused. The US has a policy of releasing information about an event they deem classified around 25 years after the event occurs. When I heard about this movie, my first thought was "this is not going to be accurate in the slightest".

Still the review sounded generally good. I might get it once it comes out on DVD.

Just looks like the usual shameless triumphalism to me.

I never understand why America gets so "whoa yeah!" over victories in the "war" on "terror." Your country created these people. If anything films like should make Americans deeply embarrassed at how the only way they can obtain any measure of glory is by actually bothering to get round to cleaning up their own mess for once.

I totally agree. Maybe it's not the point of the film, but to watch Zero Dark Thirty and then not talk about the themes of torture and terrorism, is missing an entirely different point of the film. If ever there was a time to have a public discussion about America's phony 'war on terror' surely it is now. But, naturally, your going to piss off a lot of people, and they are gunna wanna silence you:

Did you even watch the review? He said it's simply a retelling of what happened, not some fuck ya we did it movie. He said that it's actually a pretty dark movie.

Honestly it just looks like you used this thread as an excuse to post your anti American views and your conspiracy theories. If you want to go throwing these opinions around, do it in the R&P section. Seriously, make a thread and use this exact post. I'll sit back and lol at the shitstorm.
