Syriana

We went to watch the Syriana , the new movie that some people are talking about these days. I knew it was a political movie mainly about CIA and oil companies. I am very much interested in these kind of movies, may be because I am from Iran and in last couple of decades, all of us (Iranians) are some how into politics. Any way the movie started in a party in Iran, one of those secret parties in north of Tehran that every one is drinking, dancing and …George colony who I like a lot, of course I like his look more than his act!! was one of the main roles in the movie. He was in that party and after just five minutes of showing Iran and an explosion in the street because of the gun that two Iranian guys got from George Cloony, movie went to another scenes, it was very similar to Traffic. The director would pass you from one scene to the other and you would get very busy trying to follow up every thing and make logical connections between the events. The whole story was concentrated on how US oil companies manipulate Middle Eastern governments and take the most advantage they can from oil in that region. I don’t tell you how it ended but to me it was kind of shocking! It ended so anit American policy. It showed that the US government do every thing even something that they would call it terrorism themselves to cover their own benefits. I don’t want to say what is my real belief about the whole story and if the director or writer were right or wrong. But I know something for sure and that is, in majority of countries in the world you can not make and show a movie that is attacking your country and it’s policies that strong!
I can say that seeing the movie because it reminded me that our people and the people in that region are so miserable and are suffering from dictatoship, war and horror mostly because of oil upset me. I myself wish that we did not have oil in first place. I am sure that our people would have a better life without oil!! Now are you curious to see the movie too??
