Zero Dark Thirty

I enjoyed this film ... a lot more than Hurt Locker.

And I disagree with the notion that this film promotes torture. To me it simply portrayed the events as they happened, regardless of it being right or wrong, through the eyes of the main character. The film didn't go into some of the negative consequences of using torture, but it didn't have to -- those characters saw it as a necessary evil, and both the male and female had their reservations toward it. And for the most part the torture stopped once that information leaked around in the middle of the movie, and they had to use other means to gather intel (which was around what ... '07/'08? Right before Obama got elected?). That, to me, goes against your argument that this movie was trying to say torture was the only way we got bin Laden. They got him even when the enhanced interrogations stopped, or were significantly curbed. Instead of torture, they bribed people with Lamborginis to get info .

If u like this movie, u have horrible taste


Movie is trash. They actually made killing Bin Laden boring. Horrible movie.

And the political decisions made by obama and others is more interesting than some lone white woman single handedly hunting Bin Laden

the problem is that torture had zero impact on actionable intel, yet allegedly (i havent seen the movie) the movie makes it seems as if there was something gained from torture. if you got that message, then that is what people were worried about. the torture was ineffective in real life, but the movie supposedly makes it seem like it had some ability to gain actionable info.

If you want an action packed movie with senseless explosions and crossfire, I'm sure Michael Bay has something in the works. That's not the point of this flick. I'm not saying this is the best film I've seen (certainly the best this year ) but I appreciated it for what it was.

Sure, I could see how someone might make that conclusion.

thought this was good but dissappointing, not very memorable and definitely in no way fukkin wit the hurt locker which is a classic war film

 

[Tetris v2.0]

So the Oscars snubbed Bigelow, I bet she didnt see that coming :jada:

I think this is an important enough film tho. I saw it, and disagreed with a lot of it and how characters were portrayed, but Im glad I saw it. Even if it was 3 hours

Think of how many Vietnam and WW2 films we got. We haven't had many contemporary war movies. I thought this took a decent stab at it, even if the feminism was a bit over-the-top. The editing and pacing of this film was quite good

Movie was terrible, it was hilarious when that bytch who was so excited got blown up though stupid bytch. I think it showed that our agents are just as much the villains as the other guys, but I know that's not the point they tried to make. There's a lot more to the raid and who they killed. Just like she was 100%sure OBL was in the crib I'm 100% sure it wasn't him and this movie confirmed that. Only ID was this white broad? Come on you know she thinks they all look alike. Parts of the movie had extremly bad acting, was expecting the raid to be better, overall a very disappointing extremly long and boring movie.

The movie was entertainment and not a documentary but I don't like the message of the film. I'm glad the Oscar subbed her for Director cause it's a propaganda piece more than anything. With that said the Leading Actress will probably win. You felt you pain and struggle in the movie, she did do a great job in the part even though sometimes she seemed to lack emotion. Again my biggest problem with the film is that it felt like the Bush Administration wrote it, it was a complete justification for Gitmo, Torture etc.

lies, lies, lies

 

[RileyC]

seems like a "fukk yeah amurica!" type of movie. I'll pass...

 

[the cool]

almost walked out of the theater. shyt sucked

 

[MenacingMonk]

I was believing the hype and the hype failed. I mean I'm not saying it's a horrible movie, but was it necessary to be made? Couldn't they just make an actual documentary?.... Oh wait, is this the higher powers that be way of saying everything was fiction?

I don't see how people can put this up with THL. THL was at least entertaining and had action.

Seal Team Six: Raid On OBL
Was way better IMO. This is in no way a bad movie but I think it focused to much on the politics and not a lot of attention was showed to the boots on the ground
