Green Zone Movie Review

Directed by Paul Greengrass, Greenzone is a very exciting piece. Matt Damon delivered his role excellently owing to his experiences in war movies. In this Greenzone movie review, we tend to link political decisions during Bush administration from fiction to reality. The questions asked in watching the movie could be: Is it real? Did Bush did that? What is the role of Poundsgate in executing the Bush policy in Iraq? Most of the scenes in the movie are breathtaking. The location seemed real and the actors stayed true to their roles. The setting and plot of Greenzone might have been an aftermath of Iraq invasion but the war scenes are still very interesting.

The movie became interesting when it allowed a decent Iraqi named Freddie love his country. He became the translator of Matt Damon's character Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller. At first, Freddie's actions and motives seemed suspicious. Later on, it would easy for viewers to realize that his real intention is to help his country gain stability. Like any other patriotic fellow, Freddie killed the person who knew later knew the truth that there were really no weapons of mass destruction. These alleged weapons of mass destruction stored in Iraq allowed Bush administration to intervene in Iraqi's political state. Many people were thinking who or what Magellan is including Chief Roy Miller himself, the Veteran CIA operative Marty, Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne, and others. It was Veteran CIA operative Marty told Chief Roy Miller that the said weapons of mass destruction is not existing.


In the end, Chief Roy Miller realized that General Al Rawi is Magellan, the person linked to Poundsgate for telling a false story. Hence, he chased after the general and confirmed the truth. On the other hand, Poundsgate's men also chased after General Al Rawi's group to kill them and prevent the leakage of the political secret. But, it was Freddie who killed General Al Rawi telling Chief Roy Miller that it was not the latter who should decide on what happened in that situation. After all, Freddie just want a stable and peaceful country reflecting the intents of many Iraqis that they do not want their country to be led by a puppet of the American government. Chief Roy Miller was successful in his attempt to know the truth behind Magellan and forwarded documents as proof of the errors linked to the Magellan case.
