Upon searching and reading reviews online, on multiple websites, the public seems to collectively dislike and overall have distrust for this movie. They feel as though it was an attempt to politically aid Obama for reelection as it was released a few days prior to his reelection. This type of propaganda spreading is generally disliked by the majority of the United States as it is seems as a last ditch effort to gain popularity in the polls and win over an election. This film serves an overall political agenda in the favor of President Obama in an attempt show him in positive light and how he tried his best to make a very tough decision to raid the compound with the little information he was given and was still successful in the end by killing Osama. His decision was seen as the unpopular one since it was agreed from others that he should not invade as the evidence provided from a CNN article written by Laura Koran, that states the information from the CIA analysts was circumstantial at best and in no way confirmed that Osama was present at the

    In October 2001, just one month after the tragic September 11 attacks on the twin towers, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien pledged to support the United States. It was announced that Canada would join a UN-approved NATO coalition attack in Afghanistan (in order to support the United States). The purpose of this was to find and neutralize al-Qaeda which was a global militant Islamist organization. In addition, the main goal was to track and hunt down Osama Bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, since the Taliban government refused to reveal Bin Laden’s hiding place. The province that Canada was responsible for was Kandahar, which was presumably the most dangerous province in Afghanistan.…

Their formation took place after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan which caused young Muslims to come together and rally against who they perceived as invaders. After the Soviet invasion failed, the participants decided the group should not disappear; it was still a cause worthy of fighting.

    As I searched the web to watch Live From Baghdad, I prepared myself for a boring and dry documentary. I had assumed this would be about current coverage of our Iraq War. The opening scene was a standard reenactment in my eyes, akin to America’s Most Wanted. It wasn’t until the faces of Michael Keaton and Paul Guilfoyle appeared on the screen that I realized I wasn’t watching a documentary at all.…

    Going into this movie, most of what I heard was that I wouldn’t like it. This prepared me to focus on following what was going on, leading me to enjoy the movie more than I otherwise would have. Because Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is so complicated, it pushes many viewers away. But the complicated paths of the plot and the characters in this movie simulate trying to find and follow a real spy, which takes a kind of focus many viewers aren’t prepared for while watching a movie. However, being a movie about spies, it’s possible that some viewers will be interested enough to invest themselves in the plot enough to figure at least a little bit out. This is somewhat like what spies do in real life, since they have to infiltrate a foreign government, for example, and then figure out important information and where that connects.…

The fact that this is a common misconception among educated adults is ridiculous.…

    I have chosen to watch the film A Prophet and write a reaction paper about it. It is a French prison drama and crime movie directed by Jacques Audiard in 2009 and released in 2010. He wrote the script with the help of Nicolas Peufaillit, Thomas Bidegain, and Abdel Raouf Dafri. The main character in the film is Malik (Tahar Rahim), who went to prison because of a single petty crime and later becomes a drug trafficker and an assassin. The film compliments what I have learned about 20th-century European history in class, and it reminds me of a news article Suspected Boss of Corsican Mob Reported Dead that I have read recently from usatoday.com.…
