forgot that i saved this from earlier today:

quote:

For reference, quite true to life (more so than Zero Dark Thirty, for certain) are the “Sicario” movies-Sicario and the second one is called “Sicario-Day of the Soldier (Soldato). The movie is named in the Hispanized form of the old Roman Latin word- Sicarii: who were Jewish Zealots in the decades preceding Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 AD, strongly opposed the Roman occupation of Judea and murdered Romans wherever they could, especially the merchant and leadership (the Roman Cartels/slavers of the day). The Sicarii carried sicae, or small daggers, concealed in their cloaks. At public gatherings, they pulled out these daggers to attack Romans as well as Hebrew Roman sympathizers and blended into the crowd after the deed to escape detection.

Our President is having to work against the vast criminal networks that pay all of these political clowns, and their corporated donors through cheap illegal labor, and outright cash- laundered of course.

There is an awful lot our “media” (never forget Carlos Slim- wealthiest man in the world then— who owned 30% of NY Times— mexican tycoon, fingers with the Cartels)— will never cover, and actually cover up. Obamaumao was in this— and still is— big time- with his imbeds all in fedgov.

Turns out the entire nationalist uprising in Spain and subsequent 40 years of fascist rule was a deep-cover leftist op to get universal health care in that country. It worked flawlessly.

The Sicario movies took a really depressing trajectory. The original was this dark meditation on the futility of the drug war and how it was getting blood on everyone's hands. The second one was an unironic right wing fantasy with actual scenes of border patrol agents discovering terrorists' prayer rugs.

Look up the sequels to Jarhead sometime. It's the same sort of progression.

Makes me think of Rambo. The first movie was all about how veterans were used up and spit out into a society that didn't want them. There is a little bit of "why didn't the politicians let us win Vietnam?" but it comes from a character who's clearly suffering from severe PTSD. I've never seen the sequels and I don't want to, because it sounds like they miss the whole point that Rambo was a broken man, not a badass hero.

Second one is basically the corrupt government uses him to whitewash Vietnam holding US POWs and bails on him when things get hot.

Yeah. The Rambo movies are kinda weird. There's definitely "musclebound badass spitting bullets and making people explode with the bullets" to be had, but there's actual subtext to everything going on that you can get if you pay attention.

It's not Citizen Kane, but there is a message.

Drive got it right, when Oscar Isaac gets shot in the neck earlyish on. That's the closest I've seen to the real deal, and it makes that movie harder to watch nowadays than I'd like.
