just caught an awesome movie: ‘Lions for lambs’, starring Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, and Robert Redford (who LOOKS like the same guy as the villain in spiderman one, William Dafoe) . wow its been a while since i’ve cot a movie which finally needed me to use mi brain. Basically the movie is all about the war in Afghanistan and its domestic impacts to the US. 3 perspectives: the college professor and a young ‘bo-chap’ student who has the potential to achieve more; his 2 previous students who had joined the army, to do a greater gd and bring abt change by fighting for it, and are battling for their lives in the Taleban backyard; the highly acclaimed over-achieving journalist who finally opens her eyes after interviewing the senator who is determined to sacrifice at whatever cost to see the enemy destroyed.
Lies and Manipulation, have become but the tools, or rather the toys, of those in power. Their partners-in-crime: Mass media!! And together they occasionally spread manipulative propaganda which u mite tink are facts but are only the side of the story that they want you to see. But are they really the ones to blame? do you realli take evting u see in the news wholesale and just go abt ur life basing ur opinion on the stuff they show. do u ever ask urself if all stories from all the parties concerned are fairly represented?? hmmm i am…..mi time to keep on pondering and asking why why why has come…
Oh P.S: i feel so stupid putting up this lil disclaimer but one can nvr be too sure…LION FOR LAMBS IS NOT AN ACTION MOVIE JUST COS TOM CRUISE IS IN IT!!
