Lions for Lambs
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Starting 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!
