So, I just got back from watching ZDT and must I say it was a really good movie. Im surprised how well a movie in which we all knew the ending was kept interesting and kept you on egde for the better part (Take notes Halo Reach). If you havent seen it yet I highly recommend it. Anyways when I got home I started researching and looking up extra info on the movie (I usually always do this with movies I really like, last being Les Miserables) and on wikipedia I came across a huge section in the criticism section. Divided in two: Release of classified information and torture. I wasnt surprised in the info part that most complaints were from Republicans and good ol' Bush folk, saying the movie was a way to boost Obama in the recent elections, but what really interested me was all the criticism lableing the movie as 'Pro-Torture'. Now for those of you who have seen the movie, what did you think? Is the criticism correct? I for one during the movie never thought 'Damn, torture was the right thing to do' or 'the torture totally was justified for the information obtained'. It was more '-blam!- me, this movie is realistically brutal in its open showing of torture'. Not once did I get a feeling this movie had a Pro Torture incline to it nor did it serve to justify the CIA's 'enhanced interrogation program' in its illegal Black Sites authorized during Bush's presidency. I find most of the criticism to be childish and simply a way to stab the director and those who helped in the project, utilizing them them as scapegoats in the never ending arguments over the controversial years of Bush's presidency. Anyways enough about me. What are your thoughts on the criticism? And your thoughts of torture in general nowadays? Is it a justifiable action? Necesary means to an end? Discuss.
