Movie Review: Zero Dark Thirty Has Gravitas

It was last Good Friday when I decided to watch Zero Dark Thirty, maybe to lend also to the seriousness of the day, especially to Catholics.  Anyway, I enjoyed watching the movie even though the story was heavy and there were many torture scenes.   Kathryn Bigelow really made the movie complete, not only showing the actual way Osama Bin Laden was killed, but the travails the female agent had to face to be able to finally locate him.  

So much has been written about the torture scenes but for me, personally, it just comes with the territory.  Although no war actually happened, the reality is, by making September 11 happen, was kind of an act of war against America so naturally, to protect their way of life - and their country, America had to resort to tactics like torture to get the information that they want. That's really just the dark side of our human nature - and no amount of nationality or race can hide that dark, beastly behavior that we have.

Anyway, if the tables were turned and America sent an airplane to crash in the Kaaba in Mecca, the Muslim world would also do the same to Americans just to get the information they want.

That's why war is bad and we should really just try to get along with each other!
