Review; Two Stars.
Category - Horror , Dark Fantasy.
Zero Dark Thirty has apparently failed miserably to live up to it´s expectations.
I am not attempting to hurt emotionally those among it´s probable five star reviewers who will enjoy every minute of attempt after attempt to thwart the official explanation for 9 - 11 into an otherwise apparently very well organized plot from the perspective of someone who does believe in that wild conspiracy theory.
I haven´t thought much about looking into big blockbuster movies about 9 -11. Maybe I should and maybe Zero Dark Thirty will be one of them.
Let´s face it folks. There was no Bin Laden , period. There was no Al Quaeda , period.
But there´s probably lots of groups out there who might feel like calling themselves Al Quaeda.
I remember back in the good old days when I used to be a big believer in the official explanation - so much so I got virtually kicked out of every chat room for talking about it the way I did and for endorsing it publicly , because intelligent people often tend to be realists who want the real explanation for something.
And it´s not my business to try to tell people ´hey , 9 - 11 happened the way I want you to think it happened´. No. I like to buy into the theory that our thoughts had got something to do with this overwhelmingly. I find that theory to be pretty well balanced on both sides. But trying to bring such a version of 9 - 11 to the big screen would probably require making a movie as long as this one or even longer , although a lot of people would be satisfied with 85 to 90 minutes. The way that 9 - 11 was used to justify persecution against UFO believers and paranormal investigators and Hedge Fund Researchers is simply disgusting. I feel that this film can in many ways be considered a highly effective horror movie. It helps to build up an atmosphere of fear and paranoia that creeps slowly between the nerves of all the viewers in the movie room where you are watching it at the movies and you start automatically wondering if ´that idiot looking Hobo is going to blow up the whole Movie Theatre or burn down the next library just to get attention´. Well library and book burnings are no longer fashion and you´ll find no instruction on how to burn books or libraries in the Qu´aran to my knowledge , let alone how to go to the movies and blow up movie studios.
The fact that so many people still take the official explanation for granted seriousy helps adding up to the fear while you are watching the film , so in the end , watching Zero Dark Thirty will probably be like watching Sinister - except I felt Sinister was somehow far more convincing as a horror film than the official story for 9 - 11. I did see at least one film based on that story that dealt with the firefighter´s version of event and that wasn´t the Nicolas Cage one.
People may dislike that I classify this film among Dark Fantasy movies , but , well , I find it amazing to know that people can conjure forth a fantasy as dark and comic as that of the supposed 19 hijackers , much like I did when I witnessed the event on native , Icelandic television. This film gets one star for the title , and an additional star for the buildup of fear and paranoia that the viewer goes through , probably being one of the overwhelmingly growing number of people who refuse to accept the official explanation but feeling somehow too afraid to talk about that openly. One hour later , people are probably arguing and arguing over the storyline and the overall plot and are finding it nearly totally impossible to concentrate.
´The official explanation is true!´
´No it isn´t you idiot. Go drink your fluoride water and leave us grown the fuck ups a lone´.
Most people will want to see this film classified as a drama and as a Thriller. In many ways it is a drama and a thriller , but the closer you get to the end , probably , the less convinced you feel that this could have happened without the supposed U.S. Federal Government having thought much about it before 9 - 11. Everybody likes a scary bed time story and probably the official explanation for 9 - 11 worked so well because of how similar it is to other scary , bedtime stories and the more silly it´s later versions got the scarier it became until today it´s simply laughable.
