Zero Dark Thirty: Moral Vacuum

I haven't seen "Zero Dark Thirty" nor do I intend to see it now, or ever.  The film about the hunt for Bin Laden is a lie, another damned American lie, calculated to convince American audiences that they haven't lost all moral perspective, and they have.  Think of it: four years after Obama was elected president, Guantanamo is still in operation, innocent men are still imprisoned, and Obama is elected again, with hardly any noise at all about his promise to close Guantanamo.

And now the infamous "liberal" film industry (the same industry that fostered, and still fosters in film after film, every type of stereotypical racism) presents us with another lie, with joyous celebration by every important American film critic, many of them urging that the film is worthy of the Oscar for best picture. The Senate is about to release a report that shows in 6,000 pages that torture was not responsible for the capture of Bin Laden, yet the film says it did. Katherine Bigelow and Leni Riefenstahl are joined at the hip in their use of aesthetics to promote the worst type of fascism. If Bigelow gets the Oscar then I suggest the Academy award a posthumous Oscar to Riefenstahl, perhaps with a standing ovation of Heil!
