Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012) by Ian P — 06 Jan 2015
I have much to say about this film. First, it is quite a good movie and well told story overall. Still, it's impossible for my political views not to influence what I think of this movie. I can't stand terrorism or the thought that anyone is out there who just wants to randomly hurt strangers merely because they're American.
Hold on though, I'm also thoroughly disgusted by anyone who would want the job of torturing. I'm not saying that the job isn't necessary, but it's so unsavory that only an unsavory person could take up such a thing.
When I see someone tortured, my mind automatically starts hating the ones doing it to them. So guess what? I'm not the man to be torturing people, and I hate even the thought that it is done and people go to great lengths to justify it.
This movie was worth watching. A couple parts were too much for my sensibilities. I found myself without any love or respect whatsoever for the supposed heroes. They are 1 dimensional and frightening personalities.
They are "JUST DOING THEIR JOB." What can I say? Great movie. I feel a disgust for humanity when I see it because I hate to imagine the evil on BOTH sides of a conflict. Furthermore, how horrible that innocent people could get caught into this mess.
This was well cast and acted. I know because they did such a good job that I can't help but feel immense hatred for people who torture for a living. Your little propaganda film here probably had the OPPOSITE effect you want on this philosopher!
