political

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2006)

I love the politics in this movie because it helped me to understand a lot of went on behinds the scenes during WWII and the beginnings of the Cold War. I wouldn't recommend watching this movie though unless you have seen The Skulls. The two movies are very different in style, but the one is a good introduction to the other. I thought that it was a slow moving movie and the flashbacks made it confusing, but the artistic flow of the movie was creative and I give a lot of credit to De Niro and the cinematographer on making a very good production. I believe that they may have used some of the styles used in Capote because it had the same flow in that retrospect is has potential for success since the academy enjoyed Capote and gave it the highest honor, the Academy Award for Best picture. This is the first movie that I have seen that was directed by De Niro and I was very impressed. Even though he casted himself in the movie he is a good actor and did a very good job in the role he played in the movie on and off the screen.
