Wow Great

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2012)

I don't know why, but every time I see most movies coming out so close to election days, I usually take great sport in mocking all those Hollywood-drones as left-wing suck-ups. I must admit that this is an expensive sport – I know – but it does give me a chance to voice my opinions during such stressful times. Anyways, I figured this would be another one of those mind-numbing lemmings of a movie – where it twaddles off the cliff-edge of lefty-ism, ending up at the bottom of the Chasm of Moronica. Oh boy was I ever tricked. This was an excellent movie – Ben - IS THE MAN!!! The cast was superb and the acting was outstanding. One thing that shocked me was how Mr. Affleck was not shy about pointed out how our politicians will go to any length to divert blame. To a politician, power trumps human life every time. It also amazes me how Ben was very open about how the powers-to-be in government insist on not learning lessons from past mistakes. One would expect these embarrassing results of ignored embassy calls for added security – would have rendered more proactive future responses. Additionally, I did not realize that the Canadian Government were left holding the international bag on this rescue and were tossed under all wheels of the diplomatic bus. I remember these times somewhat clearly, but vaguely remember this particular incident. I appreciate this movie because it does give this horrible historical event an objective view – I previously thought – impossible of Hollywood. Good Job Mr. Ben Affleck! Congrats to Mr. Afflect for winning a well deserved Oscar - I am totally gob smacked that the Academy would award something the slightest bit critical of the administration of that time. BRAVO
