Free preview of the Bang-Bang Podcast. “We tortured some folks.” Katherine Bigelow and Mark Boal's cinematic blockbuster about the Bin Laden assassination was alternately ballyhooed and panned upon its release. Fans praised its purported cinematic achievements while critics lamented its alleged militarism or pro-torture sympathies. What's remarkable today is the attention it received in all directions, perhaps a universal attention no longer possible in a society so fragmented and lost. Van and Lyle try to make sense of the movie as a contested event, and what its ambiguous ending might tell us about what came next. They also recall where they were when Obama ordered Seal Team Six to pull that trigger.Get the full episode--and all episodes--at: https://www.bangbangpod.com
In this episode of our 2024 Kathryn Bigelow Marathon we are finally touching base with arguably the biggest success in her career, The Hurt Locker. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about whether this movie is Bigelow unfiltered, how her views on masculinity and genre have evolved over time and how her professional relationship with Mark Boal may have supercharged her own artistic interests. We also talk about renegade men who cannot be controlled, how the movie quietly comments on a lot of issues without giving any of them a straight prescription and how a POV filmmaking can enhance a verite aesthetic.

This episode looks at two films from the “War on Terrorism”: Zero Dark Thirty (2012), directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written Mark Boal; and The Report (2019), written and directed by Scott Z. Burns. Zero Dark Thirty, which stars Jessica Chastain as a CIA agent, depicts the nearly decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden. The Report, which stars Adam Driver, examines the investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Senator Dianne Feinstein, into the CIA's detention and interrogation program. The films are often in dialogue with each other, and offer competing accounts of the U.S. government's embrace of torture after 9/11.Timestamps:0:00 Introduction3:00 How the films offer dueling accounts of the post-9/11 era5:59 Zero Dark Thirty's problematic depiction of torture9:53 The real-life model for Zero Dark Thirty's Maya (Jessica Chastain)? 13:10 The CIA's Bin Laden unit15:49 The “forever war” 21:22 Legacies of the “war on terror” 23:24 The Senate Select Intelligence Committee investigation 26:06 Lawyers and the CIA torture program33:20 The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force35:11 SERE Program: Psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen 37:15 Abu Zubaydah: The first prisoner in the CIA torture program 42:17 The Report and the problem of asking “Did torture work”?48:15 The myth of American exceptionalismFurther Reading:Cole, David, “Taking Responsibility for Torture,” New Yorker (Dec. 9, 2014), https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/taking-responsibility-torture Coll, Steve, “'Disturbing' and ‘Misleading': Judging Zero Dark Thirty's claims to journalism,” New York Review of Books (Feb. 7, 2013), nybooks.com/articles/2013/02/07/disturbing-misleading-zero-dark-thirty/ Greenberg, Karen, “How Zero Dark Thirty Brought Back the Bush Administration,” TomDispatch (Jan. 10, 2013), https://tomdispatch.com/karen-greenberg-how-zero-dark-thirty-brought-back-the-bush-administration/Mayer, Jane, “Zero Conscience in ‘Zero Dark Thirty',” New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/zero-conscience-in-zero-dark-thirty “Report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Committee Study of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program (Executive Summary) (Dec. 2014), https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/publications/CRPT-113srpt288.pdfSeibold, Witney, “The Zero Dark Thirty Controversy: Explained,” Slashfilm, (updated Nov. 28, 2021), https://www.slashfilm.com/671508/the-zero-dark-thirty-controversy-explained/Wright, Lawrence, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (Knopf, 2007) Law on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

OSAMA BIN WAITIN' FOR NEW YEARS: STRANGE DAYS and ZERO DARK THIRTY W/ BIGELOW CURATOR RYAN!We conclude our four film sweep through the filmography of Kathryn Bigelow with one of her notorious failures and one of her triumphs. 1995's STRANGE DAYS was a big budget summer movie that took place in the far-flung future of (checks notes) 1999! It's mix of contemporary social outrage and little bald caps that can record anyone's feelings and what they are seeing is a tough mix. Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett are as pretty as they have ever been on film wallowing around in a semi-futuristic hellscape where only terrible music is available. There are some sharp disagreements on this one, which was unavailable for streaming forever until HBO Max decided to flush it onto their platform as it was stinking up their vaults. Then 2012's ZERO DARK THIRTY! Bigelow and co-screenwriter Mark Boal had written an entirely different film about the battle of Tora Bora when Osama Bin Laden had the temerity to be killed by a team of Navy Seals. They scrapped the existing script and quickly changed direction to tell the decade-long manhunt for the man responsible for immense pain and suffering (but also had nothing to do with Iraq). A fascinating character study of persistence and value judgements, it is one of Bigelow's knottiest films and makes for a knotty discussion between Big Bigelow fan Ryan and Ken, Jack and Thomas which, like the film itself, has no easy answers. Stick for the Bigelow Quiz to make sure you were paying attention the last two episodes.

In the late 2000s and early 2010s, people were growing wary of the "War on Terror," and Hollywood was starting to respond. In this episode, we examine Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal's "The Hurt Locker" and "Zero Dark Thirty," two vastly different films where Bigelow and Boal try their best to critique the "war" while also showing the horrifying realities of its perpetuation. We get into our own thoughts on the films, whether or not they're actually successful in conveying what we think they're attempting to say, and seriously question why we dared to watch/rewatch these movies back-to-back in the first place.

Mark Boal is a screenwriter, producer, and journalist. His new series, "Echo 3" is available now on Apple TV+.
Ten years ago, we saw the release of Kathryn Bigelow's follow-up to The Hurt Locker, a film which not only won Best Picture at the Oscars but for which she became the first woman to be Best Director as well. She and writer Mark Boal decided to tackle the comprehensive subject of the US' ongoing ten year search for Osama Bin Laden....and history occurred just before they started filming, leading to a dramatic overhaul of the story they were trying to tell. What resulted was an in-depth dramatization of how the US intelligence community eventually found Bin Laden with the focus mostly being on one CIA agent at the center of this investigation named Maya (a composite of several real individuals) played by Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain. This film also stars Jason Clark, Mark Strong, Jennifer Ehle, and James Gandolfini among several others involved in this massive war-time prodecural which attracted a ton of controversy.Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
In today's episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, host Rodrigo Perez steps inside “Echo 3,” Apple TV+'s new ten-part drama mini-series from Academy Award-winner Mark Boal (“The Hurt Locker,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Detroit”). An action-packed thriller set in South America, “Echo 3” is essentially a family drama, a military espionage actioner, and a kidnapping drama with political intrigue. The series follows Amber Chesborough (Jessica Ann Collins), a brilliant young scientist who is the emotional heart of a small American family. She's also married into a larger, more connected, and well-to-do military family. When Amber goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother, Bambi (Luke Evans), and her husband, Prince (Michiel Huisman)—two men with deep military experience and complicated pasts— struggle to find her in a layered personal drama set against the explosive backdrop of a secret war. Boal, of course, has spent most of his award-winning career connected to Kathryn Bigelow, but he broke out on his own for "Echo 3." So we spoke all about this new series, his past work with Bigelow, and 'Triple Frontier,' a film he wrote that was made but was nothing like the version he worked on but does illuminate his fascination with setting stories set in Latin America. We also spoke about a Showtime series he wrote called "Intelligence," about the 2016 election, which he admitted he met Christopher Steele about- the Trump dossier intelligence officer, and while that's not really happening, he hopes it comes around one day. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/support

Bill and Helen from When One Thing Leads to Another podcast return to Flixwatcher remotely to review Bill's choice Zero Dark Thirty. Zero Dark Thirty is a 2012 dramatisation of the international manhunt for Osama bin Laden post 9/11. It's impressive cast includes Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, James Gandolfini, Harold Perrineau, Mark Duplass, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, Jeremy Strong and John Barrowman. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by The Hurt Locker collaborator Mark Boal it earned widespread critical acclaim and was a box office success. In the hunt for bin Laden, CIA analyst Maya (Chastain) Harris visits the interrogation (torture) of detainees with suspected links to al-Qaeda with CIA officer Dan (Clarke) Fuller. During this time she is given the name Abu Ahmed, which at first appears to be a dead end but a chance conversation years later reveals that Abu Ahmed may be alive and his brother is dead. With this lead confirmed surveillance points to a compound where bin Laden is assumed to be hiding. Ten years after its release Zero Dark Thirty still remains a tense fictionalised version of real events and this was reflected in the recommendability scores. With a runtime of over two and half hours scores for repeat viewing were much lower and gives Zero Dark Thirty an overall score of 3.77 [supsystic-tables id=283] Episode #271 Crew Links Thanks to Episode #271 Crew of Helen and Bill from When One Thing Leads to Another Find their Websites online at https://www.whenonethingleadstoanother.com/ Please make sure you give them some love More about Zero Dark Thirty For more info on Zero Dark Thirty, you can visit Zero Dark Thirty IMDb page here or Zero Dark Thirty Rotten Tomatoes page here.

Director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal
It was not evident, on Oscar Night 2010, that Kathryn Bigelow would walk away a historical victor, for her modestly-sized independent film about distressed bomb technicians in Iraq had stiff competition, including a movie which remains the highest-grossing film of all time. Pluck persevered, ultimately, and The Hurt Locker took not only the Oscar for Best Director, but Best Picture, and four more awards too, including Mark Boal for his journalisticly-inspired Best Original Screenplay. Boal and Bigelow would continue their collaborative relationship for the director's two subsequent films, keeping their grasp on the contemporary with Zero Dark Thirty in 2012. Garnering near universal critical praise and a bevy of Awards Season accolades, it was also met with great controversy, triggering the ire of many who saw its depiction of “enhanced interrogation techniques” as an endorsement of the US's employment of torture as a valid practice for extracting information.For her last film to date, Bigelow plunges into the most politically material of her career. In Detroit, the pair of Boal and Bigelow turn inward to examine America's extrajudicial actions on their own population. The relationship between the country's police force and its systemic subjugation of Black citizens is a subject we've seen Bigelow tackle previously, proving, that, much has remained depressingly the same in the fifty years since the events of Detroit took place. Whether the film's release was arguably botched by distributors or if moviegoers were still reticent to engage with an uncompromisingly brutal portrait of racial violence inherent to the justice systems of our country, audience's failed to show up in 2017, leaving our tenacious, trailblazing auteur empty-handed at the box office, and uncertain if we will see another film from her anytime soon.
This week we are discussing an Oscar winner, The Hurt Locker. We discuss some basic facts, Mark Boal, HOW THEY SHOT IT and some TREK.
Written by Mark Boal and Directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Starring Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brain Geraghty, Guy Pearce, David Morse and Ralph Fiennes.

Bienvenido a La Wikly.Lo importante: El 25 de mayo de 2020, hace un año, George Floyd fue a comprar un paquete de cigarrillos. Horas después, era declarado muerto mientras un vídeo en el que se veía a un policía ahogándole con su rodilla se hacía viral en redes sociales.En los días posteriores, millones de personas salieron a las calles de cientos de otras ciudades estadounidenses como Nueva York, Los Ángeles, Minneapolis o Norfolk, una ciudad de apenas 24.000 personas en Nebraska.A gritos de ‘No puedo respirar’ y ‘Sin justicia, no hay paz’, el país demandaba un cambio ante la discriminación racial policial.¿Pero qué ha cambiado?A un año vista, hemos creído adecuado pegar un vistazo a los cambios que se han puesto en marcha o que siguen en la sala de espera conforme la administración de Biden deja el foco en las crisis pandémica y económica.¿Qué medidas, pues?En EE.UU., la mayoría de los departamentos policiales dependen de localidades y estados, con lo que las medidas que se pueden tomar a nivel federal suelen estar ligadas a incentivos presupuestarios y programas públicos.Por ejemplo, una de las promesas incumplidas de Biden tiene que ver con una comisión de supervisión policial nacional que su administración aparcó en abril.Según la Casa Blanca, querían centrar sus esfuerzos en las más ambiciosas iniciativas legislativas del Capitolio.Una de ellas es la Ley de Justicia en la Policía de 2020 (Justice in Policing Act of 2020), que preveía medidas para combatir la mala conducta policial, el uso excesivo de la fuerza y los prejuicios raciales en la actividad policial.También incluía una serie de disposiciones para mejorar la supervisión, la rendición de cuentas, la capacitación y la documentación e imponer restricciones a técnicas como el estrangulamiento y el uso de fuerza letal.El proyecto fue aprobado en la Cámara de Representantes, pero fue bloqueado en el Senado, entonces controlado por los republicanos.Otra es una versión apenas modificada de la anterior propuesta bajo el nombre de Ley George Floyd para la Justicia en la Policía de 2021 (George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021). Se aprobó en la Cámara de Representantes el pasado marzo.En un discurso de la sesión conjunta del Congreso en abril, Biden marcó la fecha del aniversario de la muerte de George Floyd como límite para que una nueva legislación de reforma policial llegara a su escritorio.Pero senadores como el demócrata Cory Booker y el republicano Tim Scott siguen ultimando detalles para una versión bastante más moderada de la ley que pueda recibir 60 votos en el Senado.El último proyecto que se ha presentado a nivel federal es el de la Ley para el Fin de la Inmunidad Calificada (Ending Qualified Immunity Act) que tiene como objetivo terminar con la inmunidad cualificada en los cuerpos de policía.¿La qué? La inmunidad cualificada es una doctrina que protege a los agentes de policía y otros funcionarios gubernamentales de ser considerados personalmente responsables por acciones discrecionales realizadas dentro de sus funciones incluso si esas acciones violan los derechos civiles de los afectados. La excepción: que las acciones vulneren una ley federal "claramente establecida".Ese precedente exige necesariamente el cumplimiento de dos requisitos: 1) que esas acciones violan la ley escrita; y 2) que exista un precedente judicial que establece que tales acciones son ilegales.De momento, este proyecto no ha sido votado por el Congreso porque incluso algunos demócratas moderados están en contra de terminar con la inmunidad cualificada.Por otro lado, Donald Trump firmó en junio de 2020 la Orden ejecutiva sobre vigilancia policial segura para comunidades seguras (Executive Order on Safe Policing for Safe Communities).Esa orden ejecutiva estableció una serie de estándares que los departamentos policiales debían cumplir para recibir financiación federal. Para que un departamento fuera certificado debía cumplir dos requisitos:Que las políticas de uso de fuerza del departamento prohibieran los estrangulamientos, excepto en situaciones en las que la ley permita el uso de fuerza letal;Que las políticas de uso de la fuerza del departamento se adhirieran a todas las leyes federales, estatales y locales aplicables.A nivel estatal y local también se han aprobado e implementado, con mayor éxito, distintas medidas dirigidas a regular el uso de la fuerza por parte de la policía y a aumentar los mecanismos de revisión y control de sus actuaciones.A nivel estatal:Massachusetts, New Mexico y otros dos estados han sacado adelante reformas para limitar la inmunidad de los agentes.Kentucky, Maryland y otros tres estados han restringido las órdenes de registro sin aviso que permiten a los agentes entrar en una propiedad sin notificar a los residentes.Virginia, Colorado y otros ocho estados han aprobado mandatos para obligar y/o financiar el uso policial de cámaras corporales.California, Minnesota y otros 14 estados han restringido el uso de ciertas técnicas de estrangulamiento.A nivel local:Austin y Seattle han reducido los presupuestos de sus departamentos policiales locales.Los Ángeles y Baltimore han redirigido dinero de la policía a otros programas públicos que atajen las raíces del crimen.Reformas más ambiciosas como mejorar el entrenamiento de los agentes de policía están yendo más lentas con motivo del estancamiento político en D.C.El pueblo opinaLas numerosas protestas por la muerte de George Floyd pusieron en el centro del escrutinio público el desempeño de los cuerpos policiales y cómo el racismo sistémico subyace en muchos casos de abuso policial.Emilio explicó la correlación entre algunos de los datos estadísticos más complejos con respecto a la desigualdad racial del trato policial en este video.Una encuesta reciente de Axios-Ipsos encontró que casi siete de cada diez afroamericanos dicen que el trato policial ha empeorado en el último año. Y aproximadamente el mismo porcentaje cree que los tiroteos policiales contra jóvenes de color han empeorado en ese tiempo.El 42 por ciento de los encuestados hispanos y el 37 por ciento de los asiáticos coincidieron en que el tratamiento policial de los afroamericanos ha empeorado.Lejos de ver el papel de la policía como el de proteger y servir, la mayoría de los afroamericanos dice que llamar al 911 a menudo hace más daño que bien.Esa desconfianza está respaldada por la experiencia personal. Al ser detenidos por la policía:El 14 por ciento de los encuestados negros y el 9 por ciento de los hispanos dijeron que un oficial sacó una pistola o arma de electrochoque de su funda.Entre blancos, solo un 4 por ciento dicen lo mismo.La mayoría de los estadounidenses todavía tiene una visión positiva de la policía y las fuerzas del orden, pero todavía no es una realidad entre los afroamericanos:Solo cuatro de cada 10 afroamericanos encuestados dijo tener opiniones favorables sobre los cuerpos policiales, contrastando con el apoyo del 75 por ciento de los encuestados blancos.¿Entonces?A este problema estructural se suman los recientes repuntes de violencia condicionados por la ansiedad social producto de la pandemia y la escalada en las tensiones de índole partidaria. Ahí, las fuerzas del orden juegan un papel incuestionable:En 2020, EE.UU. registró un récord en las solicitudes de antecedentes para adquirir armas de fuego.Y en numerosos estados, sobre todo aquellos con mayoría republicana en sus legislaturas, se han estado impulsando proyectos de ley que buscan quitar restricciones a la libre portación de armas.Este año, como contamos hace poco en esta entrega de La Wikly, la violencia social sigue en escalada y las cifras disparadas de crímenes violentos no hacen más que aumentar la necesidad de la presencia policial.En ese contexto, se hace difícil justificar reformas policiales ambiciosas a nivel local, mientras que en Washington D.C. seguimos ante el mismo estancamiento político del que Emilio habló aquí.¿Desea saber más? The New York Times publicó en abril un fantástico vistazo a las reformas policiales que se han llevado a cabo a nivel estatal. Y Axios cuenta con un repaso de las reformas locales en multitud de ciudades, aunque el artículo es de octubre del año pasado.🎬 Una recomendaciónCon la colaboración de FilminDetroit es una película estadounidense de 2017 dirigida por Kathryn Bigelow. Está ambientada en los disturbios de la ciudad de Detroit durante “el largo y cálido verano de 1967”. Aquel año, durante la presidencia de Lyndon B. Johnson, se produjeron protestas raciales a gran escala en todo Estados Unidos.El filme recrea el conocido como incidente del Motel Algiers en el que la policía mató a tres adolescentes negros.Uso la palabra recrea porque Detroit es una recreación intensísima de aquel trascendental momento histórico. Y todo gracias a la exactitud del guion de Mark Boal, periodista y ya curtido en labores de documentación desafiantes como la que supuso Zero Dark Thirty, sobre la caza de Osama Bin Laden.Netflix lo fichó en enero para escribir el guion sobre el boom en bolsa de la compañía de videojuegos Gamestop.La película merece la pena solo por la dirección de Bigelow, que ya demostró en The Hurt Locker y especialmente en Zero Dark Thirty un increíble virtuosismo técnico en los espacios pequeños. El montaje de William Goldenberg y Harry Yoon ayuda.La guinda la ponen John Boyega, Will Poulter y sobre todo Algee Smith, que tiene ya una buena filmografía por detrás.Sin duda, el pero es el foco tan marcado en el incidente del Motel Algiers porque dificulta ver las implicaciones de lo que aconteció en Detroit y el resto de EE.UU. en ese verano sangriento, pero la decisión es al mismo tiempo valiente.Al centrar esfuerzos en la concreción de la brutalidad policial, Boal y Bigelow exponen la versión más descarnada y violenta de un sistema que siempre ha jugado en contra de los negros.Detroit está disponible en Filmin.🌟 Un vídeo para conocer a una nueva estrellaOlivia Rodrigo es el fenómeno pop del 2021 en Estados Unidos gracias al estreno de su primer single el pasado enero y de su primer álbum de estudio este mes de mayo. Las críticas son estupendas y los videoclips, megatop.¿Pero de dónde sale esta chica? Rodrigo es una chica Disney que empezó a hacer sus pinillos en la cadena de cable de la compañía allá por 2016 con la serie Bizaardvark en la que interpretaba a una guitarrista.Cabe recordar que estrellas del nivel de Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake o Britney Spears empezaron en series o programas de Disney Channel.No one cares about Demi Lovato, guys.HSM. Pero es con su papel como Nini Salazar-Roberts en la serie High School Musical: The Musical: The Series de Disney+ donde Rodrigo de verdad ha pegado el petardazo.Por si no lo sabes, la serie sigue a unos estudiantes de instituto que hacen un musical sobre la película-musical High School Musical que Disney estrenó con rotundo éxito en tres entregas.Rodrigo interpreta a Nini que en el musical de la serie hace el papel de Gabriella Montez, en su momento encarnada por Vanessa Hudgens.Rodrigo ha escrito canciones originales para la serie de HSM —y se ha llevado aplausos por ellas—. Y ese éxito la llevó a firmar en 2020 con Interscope Records y Geffen Records para su primer intento al salto a la fama global.Y joder si lo ha conseguido. Su single debut ‘driver’s license’ estuvo ocho semanas en lo más alto de la Billboard y generó TikToks tan molones como este.El álbum se llama ‘SOUR’ y tiene retazos del pop de Taylor Swift y del punk de Paramore. Sus letras hablan de rupturas, identidad y de encontrarse a uno mismo. Jon Caramanica lo explica bien en su crítica para The New York Times:“La propia Rodrigo está equilibrando varias vidas al mismo tiempo —nueva celebrity, nueva superestrella, vestigio de actriz infantil y más. Y ‘SOUR’ es el primer paso en el camino a insistir que la mirada que importa es la que uno se devuelve en el espejo, sin importar quién más esté mirando”.Mis canciones favoritas tras cuatro escuchas: ‘traitor’, ‘deja vu’, ‘enough for you’ y ‘jealousy jealousy’.Aunque los temazos del disco son ‘driver’s license’ y ‘good 4 u’.😆 Quitándole la graciaA Apu se le caen los tendies es un meme que se popularizó en 4chan el pasado marzo cuando un usuario publicó la imagen que encabeza este párrafo. Antes de seguir, un vistazo a los conceptos mitológicos clave de esta imagen:4chan es uno de los vertederos de internet donde nacen la mayoría de los memes que después disfrutamos los normies como tú y como yo.Apu Apustaja es una versión mal dibujada de Pepe the Frog y es también conocido como Helper, Pepo o Peppo. Según Pepe Wiki:“Apu es un pepe ambigable que destaca por su tendencia a ayudar a los demás. A Apu le gusta hacer amiguis (frens, en inglés), es muchas veces inmaduro, pero inocente y amigabluchi (frenly, en inglés). Y se le puede ver regularmente haciendo todo tipo de tareas”.Tendies son tenders de pollo, aunque el concepto como tal refiere a las llamadas historietas tendies, relatos de veinteañeros que siguen viviendo con sus padres y que consiguen tendies de su madre a cambio de puntos de buen chico que ganan haciendo tareas del hogar o logrando algo en la vida.Ahora entenderás mejor quién es Apu y por qué es tan dramático que un matón representado por la sombra del dibujo lo haya tirado al suelo y haya echado a perder sus tendies.

It’s Episode 103 and Flixwatcher are joined by British filmmakers Eran Creevy and Mat Whitecross to review the 2019 Netflix produced Triple Frontier. Triple Frontier boasts an all star cast of Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund and Pedro Pascal, direction from J. C Chandor with the story by Mark Boal. They are a group of Special Operations soldiers who reunite for a heist to steal a lot of money from a South American drug lord. The first half of the film is the classic get the gang back together and the second half is the fallout from them stealing more money than they expected to steal. Which is the films major downfall, the motivation for the heist is they think they deserve to steal this money that isn’t theirs and the chain of events are triggered by their bigger greed of stealing more than originally planned to take. If you can buy this as a major plot point then you’ll probably enjoy this film. Scores [supsystic-tables id=108]Triple Frontier has all the elements that should make a great heist film but fails to deliver, it lacks the tension and surprise that is required to make this anything more than a standard action flick. Given the talent involved it is a massive disappointment. Overall Triple Frontier scores just 2.78. What do you guys think? Have you seen Triple Frontier? What did you think?

Mor Loushy, Daniel Sivan and David Peck talk about The Oslo Diaries, secret meetings, common languages, enemies as friends, land disputes and what we’re leaving behind for our children. Synopsis In 1992, with Israeli-Palestinian relations at an all-time low and any communication punishable with jail time, a small group of Israelis and Palestinians gathered in Oslo – secretly and against the law. Although the meetings that came to be known as The Oslo Accords changed the Middle East forever, they were never officially sanctioned and were chronicled only by the negotiators' diaries. In The Oslo Diaries, directors Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan (Censored Voices, Sundance 2015) bring us a riveting account of 1100 days of secret talks as told by the people who were there at the table. The participants’ detailed and often emotional entries recount the political intrigue, fiery rhetoric, unlikely friendships, and overwhelming desire for peace that were the heart of the negotiations. Featuring never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews with key players - including the last on-camera conversation with former Israeli president Shimon Peres - the film recounts a geopolitical story, with a narrative voice that is personal and philosophical. Although politics ultimately doomed The Oslo Accords, the story’s end for the people of Israel and Palestine remains unwritten. Watch the trailer here. Biography Mor Loushy is an award-winning Israeli director. Her debut film, Israel Ltd (2009), premiered at IDFA and was broadcast worldwide. Her latest documentary, Censored Voices (2015), won an Ophir Award for best documentary. Censored Voices premiered at Sundance Film Festival and screened at BFI London and IDFA and released theatrically worldwide. Daniel Sivan is an award-winning Israeli director/producer known for his critical social-political documentaries. His works include Censored Voices (Sundance, Berlinale, BFI), Offside (Tribeca, IDFA), and The Patriot. He recently edited Death in the Terminal (executive produced by Mark Boal and Megan Ellison)—winner of an Ophir Award and a Hot Docs best mid-length documentary award. -------------------- Image Copyright: Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan.

This 2008 military film claims to be about realism and a soldier's addiction to war. But we learn that despite writer Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow's best intentions, it doesn't accurately reflect the experience of veterans. Interested in the media we discussed this episode?

"Everybody isn’t thieves and murderers." It seems that after finding such success making films about real world situations in _The Hurt Locker_and Zero Dark Thirty, director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal wanted to keep going in that direction with their next project. They learned about the riots in Detroit in 1967 and, after doing many interviews, settled on a particular incident that took place at the Algiers Hotel. This ended up becoming the film Detroit, which was released almost to the day of the 50th anniversary of the incident. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we close up this round of our Kathryn Bigelow series with her film from last year, Detroit. We talk about how the film worked for us – Pete loved it, Andy really struggled with it – and debated about why that is. We look at the fantastic actors who carry this film – Algee Smith, Jacob Latimore, Jason Mitchell, John Boyega, Will Poulter, Hannah Murray and more – and discuss what they all bring to the table. We contemplate how the story was structured and debate if there might have been a different way to approach the story that could have made it more effective. And we touch on the cinematography by Barry Ackroyd and how the documentary handheld approach works really well with this story they’re telling. There is plenty of debate as to whether this is a great film or a well-intentioned mess, but either way, it allows for a fantastic conversation. Check out the movie – it’s an important moment in American history even if you don’t end up liking the film – then tune in to this week’s show.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Jacob Latimore of Showtime's The CHI. On Chicago's south side, an average day finds kids prepping for school as their parents head off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and the elders keeping an eye on things from their front porches. But in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences. From Emmy® winner Lena Waithe, The Chi is a timely coming-of-age drama series centered on a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption. Jacob Latimore has been hailed by Variety, Indiewire and The Wrap as a young breakout star. An accomplished singer, dancer and actor, he started his career in the music business before making the transition to acting where he emerged as one of the most promising talents of his generation. He starred in the Sundance Film Festival favorite SLEIGHT, directed by JD Dillard. Critics named Latimore one of Sundance's most talented emerging stars, praising him for his performance, natural charisma and versatility. He also starred in the ensemble drama COLLATERAL BEAUTY, alongside Will Smith, Edward Norton and Kate Winslet. Latimore can be seen in DETROIT, directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal; KRYSTAL, starring William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman, Kathy Bates and Rosario Dawson; and CANDY JAR, starring Christina Hendricks, Helen Hunt and Uzo Aduba. Latimore co-starred in the box office hit RIDE ALONG, BLACK NATIVITY and THE MAZE RUNNER. He made his feature film debut in the post-apocalyptic thriller VANISHING ON 7TH STREET, starring Hayden Christensen and John Leguizamo.
Detroit is a 2017 American period crime drama film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. Based on the Algiers Motel incident during Detroit's 1967 12th Street Riot, the film's release commemorated the 50th anniversary of the event. The film stars John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, Jason Mitchell, John Krasinski and Anthony Mackie. The film is a depiction of the 12th street riots' beginning and then pivots to the specific events inside the Algiers Motel and the subsequent trial that followed. Dealing with the physical as well as, psychological damage that is inflicted on these teenagers who find themselves being blamed for shooting at the military and local police. Issues of racial injustice, police brutality, character assassinations, and more are peppered throughout the film. The hosts discuss not only the film but the controversies and criticisms that surrounded it.
With Francine Stock. Artist Ai Weiwei reveals why he decided to make a feature length documentary, Human Flow, about refugee crises around the world and about his own life in exile. The Oscar winning writer of The Hurt Locker, Mark Boal discusses the ethics of depicting police brutality in his latest docu-drama Detroit, which shows three police officers killing and torturing suspects during the 1968 riots. Catherine Bray and Nadia Denton slug it out to get their directors into the The A to Z of film-makers. Comedian Rosemary Fletcher considers why there's only ever one woman in an action movie, and her task is almost always thankless.
The brain behind The Hurtlocker + Zero Dark Thirty talks taking inspiration from real stories + how to write the perfect actor's screenplay.
Eté 1967, Detroit. Des émeutes raciales éclatent après des exactions commises par des membres de la police, qui abattent trois jeunes afro-américains une nuit dans un hotel. Ils vont devoir répondre de leurs actes devant un tribunal. Après “Zero Dark Thirty”, Kathryn Bigelow réaffirme sa maîtrise de l’art de l’immersion et de la retranscription, et signe un drame historique qui ne laisse pas indifférent. D’abord pour sa scène choc de presque une heure située au centre du film, presque insupportable, dans laquelle Bigelow réussit à procurer un sentiment d’identification aux victimes, mais aussi aux bourreaux. Ensuite parce que le scénario fait tristement écho à l’actualité américaine. Ce qui a d’ailleurs déclenché une violente polémique aux USA : a-t-on le droit de faire du cinéma, d’esthétiser la souffrance des noirs ? Bigelow était-elle légitime pour faire ce film en tant que femme blanche ? Au delà des polémiques, Detroit reste un grand film sur l’Amérique d’hier, d’aujourd’hui et de demain, où depuis cinquante ans, l’histoire se répète.

Our final Kathryn Bigelow offering is the 2008 multiple-Oscar-winning THE HURT LOCKER (2008). After initial (and not entirely favourable) reviews, we discuss the film's sparse qualities, the way in which Bigelow subverts expectations, and one particularly…interesting stylistic choice. We conclude with a look back at her filmography, as explored over the past month, focusing on the various ways in which she has explored the ‘individual versus the world' theme.

Rundown: On this week’s show we’re talking about Kathryn Bigelow’s new movie, Detroit about the riots, the Algiers Hotel incident. It’s a searing, adult drama about race, police, the changes in American society of the 1960s, and one that has an all-too timely feel today. Wonder Why. We also use this as a jumping off point to talk about dramas for adults and wonder if they’re still a thing. We then talk about a provocative piece in The Guardian by Danny Leigh which asks the question is Hollywood in desperate need of a Bonnie and Clyde moment… more on that in segment two. It’s a good discussion. We then wrap up with our old pal Peter Brown, the Associate Editor of Assignment X, as we do one of our Status Check segments on, what else, Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5, Eastwatch. Topic 1: Review of Detroit and the state of Movie Dramas Is there a movie more timely playing in theaters right now than “Detroit?” Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and written by Mark Boal, who previously worked together on “The Hurt Locker” and “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Detroit” tells the true story of the Algiers Motel incident, which happened during the 12th Street riot in 1967 Detroit. The police raided the Algiers Motel believing there was a sniper, and proceeded to beat and torture 9 people, 7 African American men and 2 white women, most of them teenagers. Three African American teenagers were killed by police officers. The film stars Algee Smith, John Boyega, Will Poulter, Jason Mitchell and Anthony Mackie. The movie about race and police brutality, and after everything that happened this weekend in Charlottesville, and the acquittal after acquittal of police officers in the murder of black men, this movie is set in 1967, but it could be set right now. Topic 2: Does Hollywood need a shake-up? For the past few years now, film lovers and movie critics have commented on the rise of the genre film, how wanna-be blockbusters have broken out of summer and seemingly eaten up every month of the movie calendar, and how movies don’t seem to get any love anymore unless there’s some comic book connection. Movies have become very predictable and stale, and have more or less lost their preeminence as the most valuable real estate in pop culture storytelling. To quote a Battlestar: Galactica, this has all happened before and will happen again. 50 years ago, the old studio system was dying. Big movie after big movies were bombing. But back then those movies weren’t wanna-be blockbusters but bible movies, musicals and westerns… essentially the comic book movie fads of their day. Then along came a little movie called Bonnie and Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, and that movie started a revolution in 1960s filmmaking leading to the golden age of director centered movies in the 1970s, including The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Jaws, Star Wars and on and on. Essentially, Bonnie and Clyde blew up the status quo and made way for a new Hollywood era. Is Hollywood ripe for new Bonnie and Clyde? If so, what would that look like today? That’s the provocative question we’re going to talk about, with a nod towards Danny Leigh’s article in the Guardian this weeks which asked this same question, and got us thinking. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/aug/10/bored-bad-blockbusters-why-hollywood-needs-another-bonnie-and-clyde Status Check: Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 5 "Eastwatch" From the Game of Thrones Wiki: Daenerys demands loyalty from the surviving Lannister soldiers.

Marc Haimes, writer of "Kubo And The Two Strings," discusses his up and coming projects: the adaptation of the subversive graphic novel “Nimona," and a drama based on the Waco Texas tragedy, produced by Mark Boal.
In this episode of Indie Film Weekly, No Film School co-hosts Liz Nord and Jon Fusco discuss a Japanese company that has begun broadcast tests with 8K footage, and a Chinese one that is looking to assume GoPro’s throne with a new action camera. We also get into Vice’s upcoming nightly news show, Academy-Award-winning screenwriter Mark Boal’s First Amendment battles, and what Netflix and Amazon's increased spending on programming means for indie filmmakers. As always, the show also brings news you can use about gear, upcoming grant and festival deadlines, this week’s indie film releases, our Ask No Film School segment, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
In a recent interview on The New Yorker Radio Hour, Sarah refused to discuss the terms under which Bowe Bergdahl’s agreed to talk with Mark Boal. Does the audience deserve more transparency? Also, the show discusses the latest episode of Serial and how Bergdahl’s ability to survive five years of captivity under the Taliban will impact his court-martial.
On episode 1 of Task & Purpose radio, host Lauren Katzenberg gives you a rundown the latest news from the Bowe Bergdahl case with co-hosts James Weirick, a former judge advocate in the Marine Corps, and Nate Bethea, who was an officer in Bergdahl’s battalion in Afghanistan. Weirick and Nate weigh in on Bergdahl’s motivations for launching the DUSTWUN in June 2009 when he walked off base in Paktika province, Afghanistan. We also discuss how the team behind the viral podcast Serial decided to focus on Bergdahl for season two and its implications for the case. Finally, what does it mean when the only person with access to Bergdahl is Hurt Locker screenwriter Mark Boal?
Slate's Gabriel Roth and Katy Waldman are joined by writer and Afghanistan war veteran Adrian Bonenberger to discuss the first episode of Serial's new season. Sarah Koenig and her team opened their new season by deploying a series of familiar narrative tricks, but the show's effect has the potential to be much more wide-ranging this time around.

VICE reporter Jason Leopold joins the show to talk about documents he obtained containing new revelations about the collaboration that went on between "Zero Dark Thirty" filmmakers and the CIA. We talk about the significance of the documents, whether former CIA director Leon Panetta lied about interactions with screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow, and how the CIA was hoping to undermine a Senate intelligence committee investigation into torture with this mass-marketed Hollywood movie on the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. During the discussion, the show's hosts talk about the refugee crisis in Europe, the British government's decision to kill two British nationals with drones, a court decision in a No Fly List retaliation case brought by American Muslims against FBI agents, U.S. rejecting human rights recommendations from countries, and James Clapper's speech about U.S. intelligence having a lot in common with Spider-Man.

Divisive before it even opened, Kathryn Bigelow's film Zero Dark Thirty depicts, in a very procedural way, the steps it took to find Bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks. While you can argue whether Bigelow should have received a Best Director nomination in the recent Oscar announcement, it's clear that she's a filmmaker at the top of her form making a film that tracks this decade-long manhunt through the eyes of one dedicated woman, and what it does to her in the process. It's a fascinating film and one that certainly is worthy all of the nominations and accolades it's currently receiving. Join us on this week's episode of The Next Reel as we — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — close out our series on Bigelow with this amazing film. We talk about the context of this film in relation to what really did — or did not — happen, and how that affects audience members' interpretations of the events as depicted. We discuss the amazing performance by Jessica Chastain and the haunting portrait of Maya, the CIA operative behind this mission, as well as the rest of the crew the Bigelow brings on board, including screenwriter/producer Mark Boal, her partner on The Hurt Locker. We delve into the issue of torture as depicted in the film, how it's created a controversy, and what our opinions are on it. And we chat about the depiction and reality of the clinical (mostly) insertion of Seal Team Six into the compound, how well it was put together yet how surprised we were by how loud they were. It's a film that truly deserves its mark as one of the top films of the year and another definite high mark for Bigelow. We have a great time talking about it (and spoiling it heavily). Watch the movie then listen in!

Kathryn Bigelow made a big change in her career direction as a film director when she made 2009's "The Hurt Locker." While it still had the adrenaline action sensibilities she displayed in her prior films, this film was less of a Hollywood action movie and more of an honest portrayal of soldiers in a war. This week on The Next Reel, join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we delve into Bigelow's independent war film that made her the first woman to win a Best Director Oscar. We talk about how Mark Boal discovered the story while embedded as a journalist in the war and how well it works as a film, yet also is a script not structured in typical Hollywood fashion. We discuss the actors and what they bring to the table in what is ostensibly a psychological study of these characters. We chat about how the film was shot and what it does for the feel of the film. And we talk about the reception of the film and how disappointing it is that more people haven't seen it. Truly one of our favorites, we have a fantastic time talking about this film. Listen in!

GROUND ZERO WITH CLYDE LEWIS CALLS FOR BOYCOTT OF 'ZERO DARK THIRTY' Last night on Ground Zero, nationally syndicated talk show host Clyde Lewis urged his radio audience to boycott “Zero Dark Thirty,” a new film from Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. The controversial film, which opened in limited release yesterday, has received critical acclaim from New York Film Critics Circle and others, while members of the Senate Intelligence Committee - Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) – have condemned the picture for being “grossly inaccurate and misleading.” Lewis spoke at length to his audience about his reason for boycotting Zero Dark Thirty: “I believe that a film like Zero Dark Thirty being called ‘the film of the year’ by critics is suspect, especially when this film takes liberty with intelligence, pays no mind to the security of the Navy Seals involved and also manipulates history. The entire death of Osama Bin Laden has been undocumented. There have been no photos of the dead terrorist and The Associated Press has produced emails revealing that no American sailors aboard the USS Carl Vinton witnessed Bin Laden's burial at sea. I believe it does a disservice to the military and the American people to have this Hollywood version of history be the final word.”
Before the news of bin Laden's death, Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal, the Oscar-winning director and screenwriter of The Hurt Locker were already working on a movie based on the book Kill Bin Laden...

A hefty new book conceived by director George Lucas examines the DNA of 300 American blockbusters. We examine how the book was made and what we can learn from it. Plus, how far will you go to become a successful screenwriter? The Hurt Locker's Mark Boal went to Iraq.
