Ignoring
Clint Eastwood's advice in "Dirty Harry" that
opinions, like certain body parts, are best kept to
yourself.
 Kathryn
Bigelow returns to the intersection of facts and thrills.
Her newest, ''A House of Dynamite,'' about a nuclear missile
headed to the U.S., takes up themes of power and violence
that have long interested her. The film will be in theatres
but you can watch it now on NETFLIX.
I logged into
Netflix last night and watched this film. It opens showing
an Air Force team monitoring for any missile launches in the
world, suddenly one appears over the mid-Pacific, but nobody
can tell exactly where it came from, did North Korea finally
get their plan of an ICBM being launched from a submarine
operational? Impact is calculated for 18 minutes, the target
is determined to be Chicago. Great, I thought, finally a
solution to that problem.
I was never able to
convince anyone to employ my brilliant idea to cure
inner-city crime, most of it black against black, to give
every welfare recipient in those areas a Glock and a box of
bullets and the problem would be self-curing in 30 days.
As the clock ticks, the scene switches to
somewhere else, the White House, or SAC headquarters, where
the viewer endures the same 18 minute ICBM flight all over
again, with a failed intercept mission as we launched a
missile of our own to destroy the incoming one, and it
misses.
The formula with the old monster movies
was that Gotzilla never arrives on screen "until the
second reel", and the director seemed to be following
this when, after an hour of everyone trying to find the
president, the guy finally shows up.It seems that, since
Obama, movie screenwriters only elect Black presidents, and
here he comes to try to figure out what to do.
 Naturally,
the guy screws things up, and the movie comes to an abrupt
ending with a black screen as the incoming Chicago missile
has 10 seconds to hit, and the prez is authorizing launching
everything we've got against Russia, China, and North Korea,
just to be sure we punish the right country.
Personally,
I would have waited until Chicago got hit, giving us some
time to assess the situation and see how many billions of
dollars of improvements were made.
