I would give it an 8/10 as well.
Saw Hacksaw Ridge 9/10
Such a different type of war movie, ending was rushed, but still good. |
Looks interesting.
I'm almost through the Untold history of the US. Not really something to watch with kids in the room, very graphic at times. Just Obama to go. It's interesting and sad to see history repeating itself so clearly. It does a great job at exposing propaganda and movies with simple facts and statements from the key players themselves, as well as clearly linking events, cause effect, together. Every time it boils down to people with great intentions, either being misled or getting their ego or pride in the way of making real progress. Very interesting to see their ideas change during their presidency.
Clinton would have been a bad choice, she was clearly behind the misleading information charge upto the Iraq war, and still goes on about the Russian threat. Yet Trump draws parallels with Reagan and Bush. Bush also clearly stated he didn't want to get involved with world politics, before you know what. Actually one of the reasons why 9/11 happened as he simply ignored all the warnings. Fucked either way.
Who I would really like a movie about is Vasili Arkhipov. The Russian nuclear submarine commander who single handedly prevented WW3 during the Cuban missile crisis. Cut off from communications, depth bombed by American navy, they were about to launch their missiles in a last ditch effort. A bit like Crimson tide. I love submarine movies and it's been way too long in between them. Plus Thirteen days only tells half while bending the facts. Can't really blame Hollywood for that, facts don't sell.
To me the greatest thing about the US is that documentarie like this can and are made. Freedom of information act is a beautiful thing. Now if only people would learn from history...
