Red Mosquito

Rundown for those who haven't watched it yet....

You know that guy in high school who chewed tobacco and said Shakespeare was gay? It's like him, but in movie form.

This is actually a really good quote, from the screenwriter:
• Screenwriter Jason Hall: “People see the movie poster, and it’s got a guy and the American flag, and they know Clint Eastwood — the Dirty Harry guy and the Republican convention guy — directed it. So they think it’s some jingoistic thing. I would challenge that in a big way. Chris was a man who believed in something and who therefore was useful to a government that needed him to go to war. It cost him his physical health, his mental health and almost cost him his family — but Chris probably would have paid the price over and over again if he’d been asked, which is both patriotic and totally tragic.” (Time)

The movie does a good job of examining both sides of that coin: honoring and appreciating patriotism and military service and examining the "tragedy" of those values.

Agreed

I've never considered it 'Best Picture' quality as far as film making goes, but it is definitely a solid movie.

Turn your damn phone off!

Because I saw Lone Survivor, Act of Valor, and Zero Dark Thirty, I feel like I have to see this just for Alex' posting sake.
