movie: syriana
"Syriana" is an unconventional film in that it does not establish a plot with a drama, follows it along until it is resolved. Instead, it takes a more multifaceted approach by establishing a handful of characters that are seemingly unrelated, follows them along, observing their actions until in the end all their individual existences converge into a single plotline in the movie's final act. As such, explaining the story is not a straight forward proposition.
"Syriana" is a great film, and an important one. We have reached times again in which political films are not only finding an audience, but they have a purpose. Our society has become increasingly complacent and seems to accept anything that is going on in the world as given, when in fact there are certain powers pulling strings, molding world politics their way. And it is happening right in front of our eyes. Events like 9/11 did not begin their course in the Middle East. It was a reaction to things that happened right here on our doorsteps, and it is important for people to understand that. Films like "Syriana" help by exploring the underbelly of power. Make sure you add this film to your movie collection

A very good film, and Clooney's best performance (he won an Oscar for it). The film reminds me a lot of Traffic; it is slow and almost like a documentary, but the characters and the writing just suck you in, and you can't stop watching.
