Fair Game - Doug Liman reconstructs a scandal that would be a much larger mu need.
despair, desperation is in the eyes, replace the Valerie Plame and her husband Joe Wilson, while her friends at the dinner table discussing violent. About the danger of Saddam Hussein posed. On the nuclear weapons that are produced in Iraq. And about the war, will lead the President Bush. You can feel their tremendous effort, not blurt out the truth. You can feel their helplessness. No, as appropriate actor Naomi Watts and Sean Penn director Doug Liman for his stunning, had not on a true story based political thriller "Fair Game" can be found.
A rumor in CIA circles was the beginning of 2002 the bone of contention: Saddam Hussein, it said, referring from the Niger Uranart, with the build weapons of mass destruction were. Who would be appropriate to verify this suspicion, as the former diplomat Joe Wilson (Sean Penn)? Finally, he represented the U.S. government for years on the black continent and is also with CIA agent Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) is married, which was to lead the Joint Task Force mandate in Iraq. He came, saw and found - nothing. Also, his wife, who was looking at the highest risk in Iraq for evidence of a weapons program.
be easy to guess the emotions that need to cook up in the pair, as George W. Bush still relies on these points to an invasion to establish in Iraq: disbelief. Disappointment. Anger. This volatile mixture is that Joe can pick up the pen to powder in an article in the pretexts for war. The consequences of the publication weigh heavily: that Valerie is unmasked in an article in passing as an agent is only the start of an extensive smear campaign, which costs the American not only their jobs but also their private lives.
When exactly one's jaw is down, can be reconstructed any more. Without ceasing feeds director Doug Liman, who also responsible for camera and production was the audience with information that is difficult to digest - even for those who remember to the media reports in connection with the Plame affair. The funds, Liman uses to increase the credibility of its fact-based drama, are simple, but extremely effective: Instead of glossy pictures provides the action specialist ("Mr. & Mrs. Smith") bright, jerky camera pans from. Between these he sprinkled cleverly exact dates and authentic television performances, such as infamous George W. Bush 's State of the Nation or sections of the witch-hunt, the 2003 Unmasking of Valerie Plame's followed.
The sobriety that both picture and sound design rules, can be also observed on representational level. Although Naomi Watts and Sean Penn more than once would have an opportunity to consider, for example, with a big nervous breakdown the attention of Oscar-jurors on to recommend the two big names from the Academy by their Talent fully in the service of the exciting story set.
order individual services, so that it creates impression that it is none of the parties. But express much more about the issues raised by the film, without it: Why beat the Plame affair, no major waves? How can a government continue to fight a war, after the reasons put forward have been refuted for the public? And how does one explain that this government was re-elected shortly after these disclosures? The head buzzing even before Doug Liman audiences with the obligatory "What happened with ..." releases. The credit begins the real Valerie Plame, her testimony before the investigating committee. Of course, still sit.
