Review of Eye in the Sky (2015) by Skulb — 24 Jan 2017

An utterly deplorable movie. Almost as deplorable as anyone who liked it. If you boil away the well established and completely ludicrous American "foreign policy" of illegal spying and assassination, this movie can be described as a group of the worst people in the world pretending to agonize over murdering some of the stupidest people in the world while watching it on camera. Only because one of the most innocent people in the world would die as well mind you, But still; agonize they pretend to do.

At one point one of the unfortunate actors appearing in this propaganda film even says that "al shabaab's" practice of suicide bombing discredits them and lets the USA win "the propaganda war". And anyone could see why, apparently except the very convenient "al Shabaab". And these morons are the people we have to lose basic liberties around the world because of. And these morons are allegedly such a threat, even though the most basic things don't occur to them, that we need to have an illegal, borderless world war against them. I don't know why anyone would take it seriously because it is satirically stupid. But it is actual US/NATO/western imperialist "foreign policy". We have all been shanghaied by a stationary barbarian invasion apparently. That's the only way I can explain the mindless stupidity that caused someone to make Eye in the Sky. Not one word about the real problem: crazed bombers in the west who are capable of spying on and murdering anyone at all, anywhere in the world at any moment. You just have to make onto a list, compiled in subjective fashion by more important crazed murderers, and you can be spied on and murdered. Call me a kook, but this doesn't sound much like a society of laws to me. It sounds like a society being run by the most insane people on the planet, who have been given, or have illegally seized, far too much power.

And to make the satire perfect they have employed Helen Mirren to play the lead spy and murderer. A bloodthirsty octogenerian Queen of the Mad Bombers who can't wait to illegally murder foreign and western citizens alike. The entire movie is about her nagging to get permission to murder people, and trying to bend the rules to be allowed to murder people. Of course this would never happen. The USA has murdered millions of civilians since WWII while calling it "collateral damage". They don't care about that. It isn't real folks. None of it is.

Don't watch this movie. Chances are your mind is already full to the brim of this nonsense and doesn't need a top-off.
