how was "Lovelace"? and gotta say
Linda Lovelace may not be happy with the story of the film
but my god, for the mainstream "movie version" of her to be played by
Amanda Seyfried
as for me, last night it was:
Jessica Chastain's performance carries this film, and it starts with those real recordings from people in the towers
recordings which more than one of my fellow foreign, but not American, teachers believe were faked
it was one of those moments of solidarity for us American teachers, we stood alone and seems always will
now as to the film itself, I think it over reaches when it comes to its seeming to imply that torture works in directly getting info
it really is mostly likely to only result in getting "disinformation" the tortured only talk to make the torture stop, nothing they say can be trusted
however, showing video of someone being tortured to another and then treating this other "nicer" is what got results
and as for the torture conducted under "CIA auspices" it was
mostly done by Egyptians in Egypt, this is why we are still in bed with the scumbags that run the Egyptian army
they are blackmailing us
so yeah, that glaring fictionalization of torture and its results bring the overall grade I gave this film down from the A- Jessica Chastain's performance earned it to:
B-
