I just sat and watched this extraordinary and thoroughly entertaining movie.
What an amazing job. The actors were wonderful.
Ike came alive for me through his frisky relationship with Mamie and his warm friendship with his valet Moaney.
All of the old patriotic guys and the black and white footage were such a joy to watch. The production itself was beautifully done. Everything looked so good.
But most of all the underlining understanding and intelligence for humanity comes through in the writing. It is such a huge movie that looks at the dark forces and power. There was a lot of intrigue, complexity and research.
The Obama character was fabulous and Forrestal, when I saw the dedication at the end I sobbed. I think about my father who parachuted onto the bridge too far and that generation of men, some of whom were destroyed and some who had to decide what to do with the power they won. It is an epic tale of humanity and what we choose next.
