Maya, a young U.S. Central Intelligence Agency officer in 2003, has spent her entire career focused on gathering intelligence related to Osama bin Laden. She has just been reassigned to the U.S. embassy in Pakistan to work with Dan. During her first months they interrogue Ammar al-Baluchi to get some information. Dan uses torture to get answers. They get the information that Bu Ahmed is working as a personal courier for bin Laden. They discovered that Abu Ahmed delivers messages between bin Laden and Abu Faraj. After much time of investigation they locate Abu Ahmed, and they follow him. They discover bin Laden's house and they attack it. Finally, in a militar operation they kill bin Laden.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
After the 11S the war between U.S.A. and al-Qaeda started and there have been several terrorist attacks. U.S.A. had tried to catch bin Laden a lot of times but it had been impossible until this militar operation.
THEMATIC ANALYSIS
A very theme is the torture aplied to the prisoners by the U.S.A. to get the information. We think a country shouldn't use this methods to get the things they want.
U.S.A. says that they didn't use the torture and that the film doesn't say the truth.
Beñat and I think that it's real that they used it because otherwise they couldn't get any information.
CINEMATIC ANALYSIS
In this film they the three type of planes. There are long shots that integrate the characters in their environment. The medium perspectives have a greater expressive, dramatic and narrative value. close-up is used for showing expressions and interior feelings.
In the film appear the 3 types of movements of the camera. Panoramic, used to guide the eyes of the spectator on a tour. Travelling, to get closer and further from the scene. Zoom, to create effects of approximation with deformation of the real space.
There appear also the three types of angles of the camera: the normal angle, rhe high-angle shot and low-angle shot.
The time of the film is lineal, there are mo flas.backs and jumps to the future.
CONCLUSION
We think taht the film is very long at the beginning and the final part is very shortly narrated. The killing of bin Laden isn't very real because theay act in a way that we think isn't very beliavable.
In general, it's a good film and quite interesting.
