Girl I know refusing to see Zero Dark Thirty because it's shrewy
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 26th, 2013 10:58 AM Author: Sooty aphrodisiac juggernaut tanning salon She says "I don't mind the idea of the torture scenes, but I don't like Jessica Chastain's character. I don't want to have one of the greatest triumphs of the USA ruined by being turned into some feminist propaganda."
A lot of people apparently really did not like this movie because they were expecting some major feelgood alpha film about the USA winning the day, and got some film about how unmarried 30something shrews can do anything! |

Date: January 26th, 2013 11:32 AM Author: Sooty aphrodisiac juggernaut tanning salon Most people who have done notable things are somewhat fucked up. Look at Lance Armstrong for shit's sake (raises a fuckton of money for cancer, cheats shamelessly). I just think that the movie should have focused more on how people didn't really respect her because she was so shrewy. It's like Bigelow tried to make her into this quasi-Ripley character. I hate female action leads for this reason.
I'm just happy so many of my female friends are in the "don't be a shrew" camp. I know some quality women. |

When women actually do heroic stuff, no one likes them or sees them as heroes. At best they see them as cautionary tales. One of my good female friends who has a young daughter says that raising a young daughter really has made her sensitive to the kind of person she wants her daughter to be and the kinds of role models she wants her daughter to be exposed to, and that this movie scared the hell out of her.

Date: January 26th, 2013 12:12 PM Author: Sooty aphrodisiac juggernaut tanning salon I just wish the movie would have been made in a way that wasn't trying to make Chastain's character into some kind of hero. I'm fine with her being portrayed as a woman and all (unlike some of my female friends who thought the movie would have been more effective had she been played by a man) but just make her character a bit of a cautionary tale on what can happen to a girl if she focuses too much on her career. Mainstream moviegoers aren't really getting the feminist hero worship that Bigelow wanted people to get, so it would have been better just to make the movie a bit more honest that we're not supposed to sympathize with Maya or even like her or view her as some sort of hero.

CONFIRMED FLAME. |
|
Date: January 26th, 2013 12:18 PM Author: Bateful mad cow disease Well, if the character of Maya is a composite based on the identities of a bunch of people - men AND women - who helped find Bin Laden, it could have just as accurately been portrayed by a man as well as a woman.
Portraying the CIA operative as a woman to make some point is just gimmicky bullshit. It's right up there with making Romeo and Juliet black and white or some shit. The casting detracts from the power of the story by adding a message that shouldn't be there. The message of ZDT should be We Got Bin Laden with some moral ambiguity thrown in there about the use of torture (when is it justified, if ever), and how much does one have to give up of their life and soul to devote their lives to tracking down OBL. Instead it's Sex and the City in combat gear and dark sunglasses. |

Date: January 26th, 2013 11:43 AM Author: Painfully honest space The girl from Zero Dark Thirty wasn't a girl at all.
Uh, so, this is weird. According to a new interview with an expert on the CIA's operation to find Bin Laden, the CIA agent that portrayed by the character Maya, a girl, in Zero Dark Thirty is actually a guy.
"The guy who was on the account from 2003 to May 1, 2011, when bin Laden was killed, and the guy who was always saying ... that bin Laden is living in the mysterious compound in Abbottabad — that guy is a guy, he's not a female," Peter Bergen told NPR. Bergen used to work for CNN, produced a TV interview with Bin Laden once, and has written four books since 2001 on the CIA's hunt for Bin Laden. If there's anyone outside of the CIA who would know, it's Bergen.
So, that's fine and everything. Creative license, and such stuff. Bergen even called it a "literary device" in his interview. But then how do we reconcile what Bergen says with, say, the Washington Post's story from last week about how the female agent Maya's based on isn't getting along with her fellow agents:
This spring, she was among a handful of employees given the agency’s Distinguished Intelligence Medal, its highest honor except for those recognizing people who have come under direct fire. But when dozens of others were given lesser awards, the female officer lashed out.
“She hit ‘reply all’ ” to an e-mail announcement of the awards, a second former CIA official said. The thrust of her message, the former official said, was: “You guys tried to obstruct me. You fought me. Only I deserve the award.”
It should be noted that government officials wouldn't confirm anything about the agent's identity for the Post's story, so there's a chance Bergen is right here. Zero Dark director Kathryn Bigelow could have changed the gender of the character for her movie. We're not sure who got which wires crossed, but it's clear someone has some explaining to do. |

Date: January 26th, 2013 5:46 PM Author: Violet fluffy filthpig stain I would agree that Bigelow gave the movie a feminine touch, but it makes it a better movie. It makes me wonder If it was really worth it for this woman to spend 10 years on this hunt. SHe almost certainly wasn't laid during these 10 years. And she's a real bitch by the end--arrogant, self-centered and condescending. According to quora accounts, she also denigrated her colleagues after UBL was killed when she blamed all her co-workers for having hindered her.
Despite this one success story, would you really want to work w/ her? |

Date: January 27th, 2013 12:11 PM Author: brilliant striped hyena I'm with the OP. I find these cheesy action flicks that take themselves too seriously a complete bore. They always have a misunderstood hero or some shrew who everyone underestimates. What garbage. Oh and the whole backstory of one woman finding obl is false flag flame to take the heat off the team of males that actually pinpointed his location.

Date: February 15th, 2013 12:35 PM Author: Cordovan Crotch Hall Derpa derpa. The account from the guy who actually shot Bin Laden as well as the book written by another dude on the raid both confirm that the CIA agent was a woman. Other guys rotated into and out of the Bin Laden group, but she stayed there for five fucking years to nail that motherfucker. After the raid, the Shooter gave her the magazine in the gun he used to kill Bin Laden; he also called her "awesome" and "tough".

Date: February 15th, 2013 12:52 PM Author: flickering fanboi i thought something was missing from the movie, which was a focus on how the higher ups from a bunch of CIA middlemen to Panetta and even above him probably took the reins/credit for her work unfairly.
ever see the movie Contact, where Tom Skerrett steals Judy Foster's glory, and only after he dies does she get a chance. That is a strong dynamic that was touched on in the scenes with Tony Soprano/Panetta but could have been a greater subplot. |
