When I saw the trailer for this movie, I was very curious to
watch it. Did you know that depending on what they show in the trailers, you can
tell whether it's going to be a nice movie or not?
For example, if they show a lot of the story, a lot of
scenes; if they give a lot of the plot away, then it’s probably not a good
movie and they are trying to convince you to go watch it by showing you
the whole story in the trailer.
When a movie is good, they usually show only bits and pieces
of it. They give you just an idea, a small hint of what the movie is about and
that’s exactly what makes people want to see it… they want to find out what
happens next.
But that can be quite tricky sometimes. It could also be
that they don’t show you a lot because the movie is just plain garbage and therefore
they don’t want you to find out before time hahaha…
So when I saw the trailer for “Zero Dark Thirty”, I was a
bit divided. They don’t show a lot of things, just that a woman was probably
responsible for the capture of Bin Laden.
Ok, so let me tell you a bit about the story of the movie.
It’s about a team of CIA agents who were assigned to track
down the hiding location of Osama Bin Laden after the terrorist attack on the
Twin Towers on 9/11. In the beginning all the agents were working tirelessly to
hunt him down, but after using numerous strategies and investigating all the
leads they had, they started accepting the fact that they might never find him.
Until a female agent was hired to work on the investigation
and boy, did she make a difference!
There are lots of nice things about this movie, but if I
tell you then I will be saying too much. So instead let me say what I liked the
most about this movie.
It shows how strong, determined, efficient and influential a
woman can be when she decides to.
It clearly illustrates how sometimes in life people will
not believe in you or your ideas, sometimes no one will, but that shouldn’t be
a reason for you to give up.
And here’s my favorite: The power of focusing and investing
on something you believe in.
There’s a scene in particular that I really liked and that
got stuck in my head since I watched it.
One of the heads of the CIA came to speak to the agent I was
telling you about, and trying to make small talk, he asked:
“What else have you done for us in these 12 years you’ve
been working for the CIA?”
Her reply was:
“Nothing. I’ve done nothing else.”
This sums it all up for me. This is the scene that spoke
louder that all the others, but in order for you to understand it, you will
have to watch it ;)
