Just saw it..!
High, high FR recommendation.
my only critiques:
1. I believe Richard originally met his lawyer AT COLLEGE, years prior. They had not seen each other in maybe 10 years. Somehow for the movie, they changed it a bit for drama.
2. The HEAVY pressure on the FBI by the Clintons to PUSH arbitrary guilt on Richard was omitted. That pressure was very heavy. The theme for Bill’s re-election was “Peace & Prosperity” and the Atlanta Bombing didn’t fit that narrative; especially Hillary simply wanted the case To Go Away.
VERY RECOMMEDED FILM FOR ANY FREEPER..!
FOUR STARS!
Atlanta Olympics, 1996:
An overweight security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb in a crowded Atlanta park, an act of terror. He alerts the cops, but the bomb goes off and a desperate Bill Clinton facing a reelection bid ORDERS the FBI to simplify things by making Richard Jewell the perp.
Knowing Richard Jewell revers real cops the FBI brings him in for questioning, finally pretending to relent and accept his story of innocence. They then flattered him and lowered his guard by chatting him up in grand style like A Law Enforcement Colleague.
The FBI then claimed to Jewell that they were making a Training Videotape simulation in which a perp under questioning breaks down and confresses to a bombing, Ah shucks, our actor crapped out, got sick, say Richard, would ya help us FBI guys out..?
A micrometer away from consenting to help them with their training video, Jewell suddenly realizes if he cooperated with his friends, they might turn around use the tape against him in the world famous bombing that just transpired.
He calls his ex-roomate, a lawyer, who admonishes Jewell that hes in very grave danger. He leaves the FBI questioning and AVOIDS LIFE IN PRISON BY A WHISKER.
YOUR FBI IS **FINE** ACTING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL TERROR.
It started at least 20 years ago.
DON’T MISS THE HISTORY PARALLEL...!!
Atlanta Park bombing:
Bill due for re-election
Peace & Prosperity is desired narrative
Bombing Intervenes
Clintons frame up Richard Jewell
Frame-up fails
Benghazi:
Obama due for re-election
Peace & Prosperity is desired narrative
Blind Sheik/Chris Stevens swap is bungled due to SEAL intervention
Obama prefers to abandon all, rescue would attract more attention, goes to bed
Hush-up fails, scandal festers
Yes. Yes, she was a slut, though paid in info, not cash.
But yes, a slut all the same.
Great review. Thanks. How about taking kids to this movie? I understand there is a bit of adult content?
