In the prevailing social situation in the United States, the last, what are waiting for, going to the movies is more politics and intrigue.But if you combine them in correct proportion with morality and drama, it can turn out something worthwhile.
When meeting with mark Felton especially hard not to start looking for Parallels with recent events. Felt was the man who pulled the rug from under the feet of the most influential people in the White house, and the film is dedicated to him, is quite so opaque hint to the FBI that they should be an independent Agency and are required to do it right.
Sharp movie from the journalist
A joint film Director and journalist Peter Landesman and producer Ridley Scott, was in production long before the current investigation of alleged Russian interference in the presidential elections of 2016. In addition, actions Mark felta, main character of the painting and the man who stood at the origins of the Watergate scandal, were not as altruistic as they may seem.
The role of Brand felta, special agent of the FBIwho became a secret informant for the journalist Bob Woodward, nicknamed «Deep throat» during the investigation of Watergate, took on Liam Neeson, and it should be noted that in the trailer the actor looks very organic.
Felt began to drain the reporters information on the case for a rather simple reason: he has not earned the job and was very upset about it.
Abuse of power
When he died John. Edgar Hoover, who is credited with the creation of the FBI, Richard Nixon appointed to head the intelligence Department as interim chief, loyal to the White house instead of to increase felta, who for many years held the place of Deputy head of the FBI. The new boss of the Bureau, Pat gray (the Marton Cokas) knows who he is obligated for the promotion, but he also understands that too right felt untouchable.
The situation is such that the White house, led by Nixon holds felta and his colleagues on the leash begins to tighten the same when the investigators draw attention to the mysterious hacking of the headquarters of the Democratic national Committee in the Watergate. To bring officials acting solely in their own interests, the felt started to share sensitive data with one of the authors of the Washington Post, exposing himself to danger and changing the course of history.
The relevance and morality
The screenplay based on the book the felta and John O’connor, perfectly resonates with current events, so choose the best time for its premiere is unlikely. High-profile allegations of abuse of power remind us that we must always stay vigilant not to take democracy for granted and to honor our heroes, even those whose feat is not immediately apparent.
Jeanne Juror, film journalist, shared with us his expectations from a promising picture:
«Just today going to see The Man Who Brought Down the White House, and although I’m not a fan of political films, the Watergate scandal is a textbook example for all journalists, even at the University we were shown the film «All the President’s men» with Robert Retford and Dustin Hoffman. Interestingly, the new movie with Liam Neeson too, will become a cult classic?»
