Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012) by Alex C — 18 Feb 2014
I'll choose documentaries over "based on actual events" films any day, but this dramatization was quite good. Sure, it boasted the proceedings of one main character as taking full credit, but it's a movie.
..and a damn good one at that. I've heard complaints about the very end (spoiler alert) involving Jessica Chastain in an emotional state as being subjective. I completely disagree. In my opinion, when asked "you must be pretty important.
Where do you want to go?" she wept and spoke not a word as an allegory for what is still going on. On the surface, she knew she had nowhere really to go and no friends because of what she devoted her life to, and when it ended she was left with emptiness.
Present day...this struggle is still far from over. Great, intelligent ending I thought.
