Zero Dark Thirty is a film
based on the true events that followed the 9/11 attacks against the United
States. The recreation of the man hunt for Osama bin Laden shows the “behind
the scenes” work of all involved; including interrogation tactics, tracking of
key people who would possibly lead to bin Laden, and the work of Navy S.E.A.L.
Team 6 who would eventually end everything with two simple words, “Target
Secure”.
I loved Zero Dark Thirty. I have always enjoyed military themed
films, based on true events or not, they’ve always been a good watch; and Zero Dark Thirty has definitely
made the list of films that I will watch again. The only complaint that I would
have about the film is how the timeline is structured. Understandably, the
timeline moves quickly throughout because they can’t show every single day of
work towards the mission. But with how quickly the timeline jumps from date to
date, and location to location, it really makes the viewers focus extremely
hard on where the movie is (location and time), and what events transpired
there.
My love for
military themed films played a big role in my decision in picking Zero Dark Thirty as my number 1
for the film review assignment, and played a role in my review on the film as
well. My respect towards the military also played a role in my review and
choice, because I have a high amount of respect towards what all of those men
and women do. Everybody has their own opinion on the military and how they
operate, but I’ve always respected the fact that they put their lives on the
line in order to keep us safe.
