[quote=Anonymous]I just watched it recently because I wanted to see it at home, and I am glad I did.
Some of the political intricacies were hard to follow for me and I had to rewind and turn on subtitles. 
I thought nudity was completely unnecessary.
Overall the movie gives so much food for thought and it is very much on point in today’s atmosphere.
The dangers of wiffle waffling, the question of checks and balances once a powerful weapon is created (and do we involve our adversaries who were also our allies at some point?); how regular people are just pawns and collateral damage, and how decisions on who lives and who dies are based on whims of those in power (Strauss striking Kyoto off the list of cities considered for destruction is imho one one the most powerful moments).
Gary Oldman has a small role but he is great in it and his performance and script conveys so much about so many of those in power.
It’s fascinating to watch the film amid two wars happening currently. I thought it had powerful messages that would be unpopular if pronounced here on DCUM :)
