Why no Oscar for Brad Pitt

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2018)

There is a delicate line between satire and demonstrating a brutal statement about a pointless war.
All I know is, not once did I ever think 'This is Brad Pitt' that USUALLY only happens with Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino...
McMahon really sums up some blind optimism - this movie had me reminding myself underneath any uniform, is a human being. Period.
No temporary political ideology can rob us of our humanity that came down polished for hundreds of thousands of years - not some 300 year half baked end of day it's corporatism ANYHOO political ideology.
The only thing missing from this - that could have made it a 10 would have been presence of Enron.
For Enron played a great part in US occupation of Iraq. All goes back to Sugarland Texas when the Taleban was invited by now Chevron - if they were going to be a problem with the Enron planned Turkmenistan natural gas pipeline.
Looks like they said they would be- and they did.
Enron also just 'happened' to be the #1 campaign contributor to the Bush and Cheney 2000 campaign.
Twelve Monkeys was a fun role for Brad Pitt no doubt but I think this is his best performance to date. Me? I would have liked see an Oscar for Pitt on this one.
This movie can be watched many many times for some precious scenes.
'Ya see - it's like raising a child - you need two parents'
'Woodward ? OH NO '
'Steps to freedom - you familiar with the moon landing? '
I do so wonder how this movie might have come across had it been released in 2004.
Let's all hope there won't need to be a sequel, but the way things are going in Afghanistan - there might need to be a sequel to this movie. Ugh
