One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.
Zero parts fun.
Three fucking hours long.
Don't waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

Doesn’t it uncritically repeat the “we needed to bomb them or else we would have had to invade” bullshit?
It literally doesn't, the characters all but look at the camera and say "we didn't need to do this"
ffs
it does bring it up when iirc the whole it'll save lives compared to a full scale invasion was more of an invention years later than an actual thing the people making the decision said but yeah I don't think the movie actually endorses the position that it was actually necessary.
shoot and cry is the type of revisionism I didn't expect to see out of this movie
deleted by creator
Was too laser focused on the revisionism I expected
it shows military guys trying to justify it with that but nah the film itself doesn’t push that line
That's the main reason I don't want to see it, I just know it's going to be all about that
