LA RECENSIONE

“The Hurt Locker” was a rather ignoble operation to move the American audience who are easily brought to tears by those who “serve our beloved Country.” A ridiculous (but predictable) Oscar for an insignificant (albeit very gripping) celebration of American soldiers. A useless and fictionalized film which, in the end, could be tolerated. Soldiers just fight; they're not to blame for the government that sends them to fight.

But hypocrisy soon surfaces. And “Zero Dark Thirty” shamelessly unmasks it, despite the doubts about torture (a mediocre red herring).

Give the audience what they want: that is the concept. So we stroke and exalt the nationalist rage of the Yankees. And the stars-and-stripes nationalism, as you know, doesn't mince words: those who harm America must die without mercy. God bless America and curse the rest of the world.

What great patriotic love to assert that in that house there is certainly Bin Laden. Without evidence. But the Americans are great masters in this. With compliments from the CIA director. The sick minds govern us – Kubrick taught us in “Strangelove”: prophetic visionary genius.

What Nazi heroes the Navy Seals are, killing without mercy, before those children who have lost their innocence forever. The evil terrorists punished by an act that is not terrorist but equally wicked.

Thank you, Kathrin, for making us understand that revenge is moral. When's the next enlightenment?

The rating is the first word of the title.

Summary by Bot

This review critiques Zero Dark Thirty as a bold and unflinching portrayal of American patriotism that exposes underlying hypocrisies. It contrasts with The Hurt Locker’s more sentimental approach and questions the moral basis of revenge and torture. The film is seen as a controversial but necessary reflection on militarism and nationalism. The reviewer highlights the film's unapologetic stance on U.S. military actions and the portrayal of Navy Seals as heroic, while questioning the ethics involved.
