Choque e Pavor - A Verdade Importa

The real life story behind what became one of the worst war mistakes a US president made. And all that just to retaliate and try to find peace. The movie has quite the strong story to dig into. That alone and how some reporters where fighting for the truth to come out is amazing enough. When everyone else was going along the line of what the president said ... they didn't.

And having the right actors to pull that off helps too. Still the absolute zinger seems to be missing. This is more than good and decent, don't get me wrong, but for those familiar with what happened and how this played out, this may feel a bit weak. Or not as strong as it could have been. Great acting overall though and the story might take you to a hopeful place. Because no matter how many times, the hopefully one term president screams and yells about the press being the enemy of the people, it just ain't true

This was a well done movie which succeeded in angering me all over again how this criminal administration lied America into an illegal and immoral war aided and abetted by the main stream media and supported by a gullible populace who hates to admit that they were wrong.

We had a good turn out at our little community theater in Fairfield, IA. Would screen again.

I heard that this was an excellent movie, but then I read some of the highly critical reviews over on Netflix. So, I watched the movie myself to determine the truth. Let me give you a heads-up. All the negative reviews that appear as "serious" and "sincere" are written by George W. Bush administration apologists attempting to erase his failed, tarnished legacy. This movie is brilliant, not just for its production quality and performances of the highly renowned cast of professional actors, but most of all, for its historical accuracy. The Knight Ridder News Agency should forever be remembered for their heroic efforts to bring the truth to the American people during the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld promotion of the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.

The film of the expose of an impending fraud surrounding the run up to the Iraq War by the Knight Ridder News Service is itself as expose of how ignorant people were kept at the time.

And the fact no one in the GW Bush Admin carried the can for the war and no impeachment took place does not bode well for our political system, Rob Reiner's film accuratelly tell a story that few at the time wanted to know and many wanted to forget after the bloody mess was over.

It is a warning to America for the future.
