* James Bowman on Zero Dark Thirty:

All that having been said, however, I wonder if Kathryn Bigelow, working from a script by Mark Boal who also partnered her on The Hurt Locker, can quite escape responsibility for sending discussion of the central question for America’s foreign and defense policy in our time down this moral blind alley. However helpful or not helpful torture may have been in showing us the way to Abbottabad, it could hardly have been as central to the process as its disproportionate share of attention in the movie would suggest. By stressing the torture as much as she does, she not only inflames opinion among left-wing ideologues but also obscures the more important questions — at least from the military and diplomatic point of view — raised by what used to be called “the War on Terror.”

The main such question is this: What are we fighting for and how much are we prepared to sacrifice to win?

Movies
Opening Friday: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Movie 43, Parker.
* Michael Clark on Broken City

“Broken City” clocks in at around 100 minutes but feels twice as long because of the over-stuffed, minutia-riddled screenplay by first-time writer Brian Tucker. Able to reasonably conjure up a fair amount of crackling political content, Tucker flounders desperately with the police procedure material. Confusing attitude with content, Tucker’s convoluted tale more resembles a basic late-night cable soap opera than a dangerous New York-based crime story.

* James Bowman on Django Unchained:

Mr Tarantino’s contempt for history extends even to his defense, in the wake of the Newtown shootings, of the usual gore-fest that this movie, in common with its predecessors, quickly becomes. He modestly compared himself to Shakespeare whose plays, he supposes, were like his own movies in containing lots of “violence” and who was, like himself, thus blamed for inciting “violence in the streets.” This is no more historically accurate than anything else about the movie, but for some reason critics and commentators have not thought it worth their while to mention the fact. I suppose this is because Django Unchained is so obviously cartoonish throughout that no one ever expected of it so much as an approximation of historical accuracy. As with Pulp Fiction, the author advertises up front that he is speaking to us with no serious purpose but merely as a connoisseur and pasticheur of pop-cultural trash which he has found amusing.
