Comparisons to real life and morality

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2013)

Oblivion was a movie that stunned the audience as well as me for its multiple plot twists and intriguing mystery.
The beginning of the movie started with questions about who the main character was, and what happened to Earth. Slowly throughout the movie, we get subtle hints through variable glimpses, flashbacks, and memorable items as the main character walks through his main mission. His main mission is all that was given after he and his partner/wife undergone a memory wipe operation that left them clueless about the past.
As the mystery unraveled and questions started to become clearer, more deeper questions arose, such as what the secret agenda is behind the mission and the morality behind his actions?
I identified myself with the movie because I question morality behind actions with regards to the United State's foreign policy. Like the main character questioned his mission, I question the mission of the United States. Is our involvement in other countries moral and in what interests? Likewise, the use of drones in the movie gave a glimpse of destructive nature of drones in other countries such as Pakistan or Afghanistan. It is almost as if the director of the movie timed the release at such a critical time when Congress is currently deciding what our policy with drones are and whether to intervene into Syria or not. And for that, I found the most intrigue.
