Lions for Lambs
Starting from the title to the credits, the movie is not about a heroic battle or an indelible mistake by a over zealous, self absorbed government.
It is about understanding a mindset.
If any of you have ever read Francis Fukuyama… its about history repeating itself.
Its about the common man being a pawn, about how life really is not a ‘great equalizer’.
Redford does a brilliant job looking at showing the dynamic impact numerous aspects/events and individuals who impact our lives truly have.
The self serving ego of one senator, or the inability of a teacher to persuade a student, or a reporter having to turn a blind eye to conscience because of a need to put a meal on the table the next day.
It is nice to finally watch a Hollywood war related film without a heroic massacre.
enjoy!

Goofs
- Continuity: Arian takes off his helmet twice when he is digging the snow on the mountains.
- Continuity: The white University of Illinios football in Senator Irvings office (in the background by Janine Roth’s head for much of the interview), changes positions during the interview. At times it’s level on the shelf and at other times it’s sitting crooked.
- Continuity: After Rodriguez rolls onto his back so that Arian can see the extent of his injury, he is then shown alternately on his left side (correct) and his stomach (impossible).
- Continuity: Janine writes “Whatever it takes” in her notebook, when she is at the Senator’s office, at a different point of the page (higher) than later shown, when she revises her writings.
- Factual errors: In the classroom debate scene, a girl is seen wearing the Greek letters: Sigma Phi Epsilon, which is a male fraternity.
- Factual errors: When Rodriguez and Arian are giving their presentation, they place letters of induction on the projector to show the class they enlisted. A letter of induction is a draft notice. The draft was over for over thirty years when the movie takes place, and since they volunteered, they would have used DD Form 4/1 “Enlistment and Reenlistment Document”
