Zero Dark Thirty ~ A fairly riveting though Controversial Oscar Nominee showing how the 9/11 Mastermind was tracked down after years and shot

Oscar Nominee Jessica Chastain essaying the role of the key Woman CIA Operator in Zero Dark Thirty

You will want to see this Movie based on tracking down and shooting the mastermind of 9/11 ….it runs for  160 minutes and is directed by Kathryn Bigelow with Screenwriter being Mark Boal and the key CIA Woman Operative who relentless pursued all leads brilliantly essayed by Oscar Nominee Jessica Chastain

Zero Dark Thirty ~ A fairly riveting though Controversial Oscar Nominee for Best Picture showing how the 9/11 Mastermind was tracked down in 2011,10 years after 9/11 and shot dead

Two matter of fact dialogues that stayed with me as they expressed a lot in my view :

“You lie ,I hurt You” ~ repeatedly stated quite menacingly yet without emotion or losing cool by the Chief Male CIA Interrogator to the detainee and suspect Money Router to the perpetrators of  9/11  and followed up with his torture depicted on screen ~ It was this torture that has created the controversy as the Americans insist there was no inhuman torture to extract Vital Information

” Do you have any Friends at all !?” ~ This was directed by another  Woman Team Member at the key CIA Woman Operative,Maya in the Movie, as played by Oscar Nominee for Best Actress,Jessica Chastain ~ the context was to show how relentless and focused was Maya in researching and pursuing every lead on the assignment that she literally lived,slept and ate it and had no time for even flirting around

Early tomorrow Morning we shall know who has won the Oscars  ~ though the Director was not voted as one of the Nominees for Best Director,probably due to the strong objection depicting Torture as a tool that paved the way to track and shoot the 9/11 mastermind ,voiced by leading senators to the Movie Maker,Sony

The Movie is fairly riveting and builds up well and sensibly without any boasting ~ the scenes are not rushed through so that the essence of the moment and the emotions are captured and conveyed fully into our senses ~ also shows the prevalence of CIA Black Sites outside USA where detainees and suspects are held for interrogation ~ also one gets a glimpse of  US surveillance prowess through satellite imagery and other sophisticated monitoring and tracking technology

See it~ Zero Dark Thirty
