Catching up for 20th Century Humanties tomorrow...

Totally forgot that Viola Davis was in it! Fun fact: this movie features 3 of this year's Oscar frontrunners in the acting categories: Davis, Clooney, Plummer.

I really want to read the book(s) by the guy who is the basis for Clooney's character

Looking for something not sci-fi or comedy. Haven't see this is years. Figured it would do the trick.

Corruption? ... Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets. Corruption is why we win.

Finishing something I tried to start awhile ago.

Continuing my AFI MOTY marathon with Syriana.

"Captitalism cannot exists without waste..."

How $ influences counties making decisions

Saw the real face of america

Finally watching it with the subtitles in the Arabic bits (apologies, I don't know what language is being spoken). Not knowing what language was being spoken before messed me up, lol!

An almost seamless portrayal of systemic evil that unfortunately offers only "greed" as the root cause. While the film accurately depicts the evil that exists, and has always existed, and likely always will, it's a shame that no deeper understanding of evil is presented. In this bleak film all individual attempts to do good are utterly thwarted and ultimately injustice prevails. No explicit solution is offered, though the religiously-motivated suicide attack becomes almost sympathetic, and the implicit yearning for a "good king" (i.e. a virtuous autocrat, i.e. a noble dictator) to sweep in and put the world right manifests through the character of the elder prince targeted in the assassination plot: "If only some benevolent political force could take charge of everything and cure the world of its woes!" Because clearly the problem with slavery is bad masters -- Don't blame me, I voted for Kang!

Second attempt at watching this movie. Let's see if I can make it all the way through it this time...
