Zero Dark Thirty

[Beantown]

Surprised there is no thread on this one. Kathryn Bigelow's (The Hurt Locker) next picture - about the manhunt for OBL.

Looks damn good to me.

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

It will be interesting to learn how much of this is "true" and how much is speculation.

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

How good was Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden on National Geographic, at least in terms of being close with content.

I'm gonna guess only Seal Team Six and a few NSC members really would know.
(although as a sign of the times....nobody can actually keep their mouths/keyboards/phonepads shut anymore as even ST6 members did a little gabbing, didn't they?)

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

Just saw this yesterday. I have no clue about what is actually true and what isn't, as I don't keep up with things like that. But purely as a movie, it was phenomenally entertaining! Very suspenseful.

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

I see Kyle Chandler is in it and that's good enough for me, idk if i'll have time to go see it now but definitely when it comes out later on Blu Ray

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

Actually just finished watching this, like said who knows if certain events are actually true or not but as a movie it's fantastic and follows the general timeline of events we do know about.

Nice! I went into it expecting that this is a Hollywood movie, there's a good likelihood that 99% of this is fabricated stuff. With those expectations set, just sitting back and enjoying it was great.

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

The fact that congress investigated the director to see they got their information shows you exactly how accurate this movie is.

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

It was an ok movie but not anything special. There were a bunch of people just popping up and leaving without much time being spent on who they were or why they were important. I also don't get why it was decided to make it seem like one person was the reason that all this stuff happened.

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

It was really promising with the beginning when they pretty much slowly began to connect the dots and the "false ends".

But once

Spoiler

the car bombings happened

everything became a cluster****, moving too fast, introducing too many people and moving from detail to detail until the

Spoiler

final raid

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

I don't get why they had

Spoiler

Mya and the other lady in the hotel during the bombing, then cut to a few weeks later and it's not even mentioned

. They had a throwaway joke at the end of the movie but it was like that scene had never happened.

Re: Zero Dark Thirty

You can also say the

Spoiler

london bombings

were absolutely pointless. They had a whole scene about it and then acted it like it never happen. At least the

Spoiler

hotel bombing

was reference later.
