Lions for Lambs

Another movie that is hard to understand. I remembered "The Thing Red Line" gave me this feeling 10 years ago. The storyline is about american military politics in Afghanistan, a foreign politics teacher who tries to convince his student that things will be better by doing, not watching and a journalist who can't see how the country's new strategy will fit in. It's kinda like "Traffic" when many scenarios are connected to each others, only noone knows about it.

I personally think this movie will not please 80% of the people. It's not comedy, it's not shoot the light out movie like Black Hawk Down, it's not happy-ending patriot movie which everyone is saved at last second before enemies pull the trigger .. it's politics and stress, it's reading-subtitle-will-not-help-you-understand kind of movie.

Try it if you dare
