If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
attempts sch as thus video are dangerous in that viewed are informed and yet misinformed at the same time. these type of glorification- romanticizing works are projects better left undone. propaganda such as this and many more similar to it are harmful to our service members and those we wish to generate support from and helpful to those wishing to do harm. articles such as this video literally and figuratively make our uniformed armed service members targets. thus does mire harm then good. it makes me think somewhere a politician said, "hello Hollywood, I want to make a movie". attempts sch as thus video are dangerous in that viewed are informed and yet misinformed at the same time. these type of glorification- romanticizing works are projects better left undone. propaganda such as this and many more similar to it are harmful to our service members and those we wish to generate support from and helpful to those wishing to do harm. articles such as this video literally and figuratively make our uniformed armed service members targets. thus does mire harm then good. it makes me think somewhere a politician said, "hello Hollywood, I want to make a movie"
This film tells the story of the hunt for and elimination of Osama bin Laden, who was suspected to be residing in a secret compound in Pakistan."Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden" uses news footage, archive footage and enacted footage to create a story of how a team of the best soldiers carried out a seemingly impossible mission. It has a balanced dose of action, emotion and drama. In a way, I find this film rather muted, meaning that it doesn't arouse as much adrenaline, tears or patriotism as I expected, given the subject matter. Nevertheless, it's still an enjoyable film.
Seal Team Six is a 2008 American war film directed by the producer of The Hurt Locker, John Stockwell, inspired by actual events. John Stockwell (born on March 25, 1961) is an American actor, director, producer, writer and former model. It's a low-budget film which deals with the end of the infamous al-Qaeda head, Bin Laden, on May 2nd 2011. Moreover, it's a very short film which lasts only 90 minutes. After receiving orders of their superiors about the guarded compound in Pakistan, US intelligence have to dismantle the mission in a time limited. Very close to Zero Dark Thirty by Kathryn Bigelow, SEAL Team Six focuses on the truthfulness of the events and of the actions. It looks like a documentary which protects the X files of the government. The facts in the film were not "confirmed or denied" by White House officials. On the first hand, the script and direction are fairly matter-of-fact, even if there are lots of amazing shots of sunsets and landscapes), but on the other hand, there are lots of excellent performances as Connors, Ross Martin (as Mangus), Kamala Devi (as Teela), Pat Conway (as Captain William Maynard), and Adam West (as Delahay). These performances show why Geronimo is a success. The defects of the film are to avoid torture and to add fiction to reality. Yet, this film has lots of qualities as the final gunfight, the suspense, the moment of actions and the witch hunt against Bin Laden. We can also talk of the effects which engender the sense of danger and peril. They are no clear "bad guys" and "good guys" here. Rather, the conflicts of the film are portrayed as resulting from cultural dispositions, duty and necessity. Moreover, the film is visually amazing. The movie seems to be fascinating and full of new development but it has some little errors. It was nominated for the "Outstanding Art Direction For A Miniseries Or Movie" and for the "Outstanding Sound Editing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special" in 2013. It was not the red-carpet premiere that John had in mind. Positive criticism: "Very interesting, I look first "Zero Dark Thirty" because it was a famous film by Kathryn Bigelow, and I personally think that "Code Name Geronimo" is better than it. The acting is amazing!" Negative criticism: "Fichtner, once again typecast as a stern authority figure, is arguably the best of a mediocre lot, but fails to ignite the film's plethora of arduous and poorly written scenes within US intelligence HQ. Similarly irksome is the grating contrivance that almost no member of this apparent 'crack team' of SEALs is able to keep their emotions in check for seemingly any longer than five minutes. Predictably, macho face-offs are in plentiful supply."To conclude, I personally think that this film is a human and subjective vision of the war by the soldiers who are constantly trapped between life and death. I prefer Seal Team Six because it is more realistic than Zero Dark Thirty which is too exaggerated.
DEVGRU does. With that in mind, that's about how accurate this movie is. They cannot even use proper nomenclature when describing the teams they are referencing. Any time I see "Seal" in reference to the NSW teams, I chuckle a bit. I heard one guy say "we should use our special ops carefully" or something along those lines. SEALs are SF, not spec ops. They were taxied there by spec ops (160th SOAR aka Nightstalkers).It's a movie with stereotypical buff cute guys and a token black dude who couldn't make a SEAL team in his wildest dreams with his flabby body and fat head.There's nothing SEAL worthy about this film. It doesn't even come close to an "Act of Valor" type tactical shooter film so technical guys won't get off on it too much, perhaps just cringe a bit as these clowns sweep each other constantly while on patrol. There's nothing about the load out or the actual prep shown in any detail other than some sporadic entry training. GGI choppers are obvious. It seems to have all been filmed in a barn. What movie cannot get a real chopper? Also, no "get to the choppa" moment after the take down, just lolly gagging around after it's done, like no one's coming for them, as if all those hajis out there couldn't put a bead on anyone during that little show in the courtyard. Pretty sure they were out as fast as they were in. Not worth watching really. Read the account of someone who was there, or read Chris Kyle's book. Don't go for some flimsy attempt at recreating a mission as secretive as Neptune's Spear (reference to the SEALs btw).What's odd in an ironic sense is that those who were being protected by their risks are making the money from their risks while they remain anonymous and likely scratching out a living doing whatever.
