Watching the Sound of Freedom now, and I guess we’re halfway through (yes, I’m that guy using his phone in the movie theater, lol). But damn is it painful to watch all of this. I know, and have known for a long time what goes on behind the scenes for years now because I’ve been paying attention but it’s one thing to know and another to see it painted out for you in such sickening detail. I’m hoping that we’ll see some action here, of the John Wick/Terminal List variety, though I know that this isn’t that kind of movie. I just need that catharsis.
I hope that the millions of Americans out there watching this on the day we celebrate freedom feel this intense pain and anger that I’m feeling watching this movie.
So I finished it, though I was greatly saddened that the one man who rightfully bit the dust, Scorpion... well the scene wasn’t very well coreographed. It doesn’t have to play out like some Jason Bourne or Mission Impossible fight sequence, but I would have very much preferred it if the violence was short, quick, but very visceral. The whole blurry and indistinct sequence was not a satisfying pay off, at least something to let the audience take pleasure in seeing evil get put figuratively six feet under. Tim Ballard was so much taller than the Rebel Boss, and from what I’ve been told 14 pounds of pressure is all that is needed to break a neck, so instead of having a very bad fight sequence they could have just had Tim put him in a rear naked choke and put that height to use- grasp, squeeze, strain, and then pull.
Overall a very good movie, one that greatly put a damper on my mood for the 4th, but then I think about how many kids on our own streets will go missing today alone? How about all over the world?
All in all, this needs to be shown in every theater nation wide. It needs to be blasted to the heavens. The people who aren’t awake need to wake up and they need to get angry. The people in power facilitating this need to see justice, and that justice only has one inevitable conclusion.
