Jessica Chastain stars in the new film Zero Dark Thirty, a 2012 American historical drama film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. The film is based on one of history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man, Osama Bin Laden a leader of al-Qaeda. Zero Dark Thirty received nominations for five 85th academy awards, including best picture, best actress (Jessica Chastain) and Best Original Screenplay. Jessica at her best performance stars as a CIA analyst hunting for Osama Bin Laden.
This article caught my attention due to all this fuss about Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence being in the race for best actress. Of course I also choose this article because I watched Zero Dark Thirty and it was a great movie, it was more than what I expected. Jessica Chastain kicked ass in the performance she gave the audience. The film was awesome honestly, it showed America's dirty laundry about our torture programs, and the great capture of Osama Bin Laden.
Writing about Jessica Chastain and the role she takes as an actress makes me actually realize that an actor has a lot to do with representing and receiving recognition for the film. As a future filmmaker, shows that you have to be able to have strong communication with your actors in order to get the performance you want from them.
I'd recommend friends and family to go watch this movie, I consider it one of the coolest educational films. Gives us an idea of how our country runs the show. I only have one question in mind, what do the men such like the soldiers and navy seals etc. feel about this movie? Do they agree with everything they put in ? Besides that, great movie.
I also agree with you: Jessica Chastain was amazing in Zero Dark Thirty.
ReplyDeleteYet, you also make a good point about the torture programs that the U.S indulged in before Obama's administration. I assumed almost everyone had an idea about something like this, although they never truly focused on it because it might have been too horrible to admit. So all the military personnel may have been a bit uneasy with this movie because of that, which was unfortunate, especially since this movie was known to include a lot of mistakes and inaccuracies about the whole operation of Osama bin Laden.
