Note: I just watched this movie for the first time in its entirety. The following repost is one that I had almost completely forgotten about.
The movie is implausible. It is a sounding board for a liberal guy to take a shot at an American institution.
Come to think of it, I had just gone to the theater in the past month or so to watch another implausible movie---Elysium.
Are the liberals trying to make social statements through the movies? Naw! They wouldn't do anything like that.
repost follows:
If you recall my recent discussion of the movie Star Wars III, Revenge of the Sith, then you may remember a discussion about believability. The video below, and others like it, show the main understanding about The Art of War is that the truth is the thing that is sought, but that should never be given to the enemy.
But that is what the character played by Jack Nicholson does. He gives his enemy the information he needs in order to destroy him. Frankly, I don't buy it. The Colonel would be smarter than that. He opponent may not be clever enough to get him to tell the truth.
