Benghazi Movie

On September 11th, 2012, the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya was attacked. During the attack, around 150 men killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and another diplomat. A few hours later, the CIA annex was attacked and two more were killed. At the start of the attack, news had reached the United States. Later that night and into the morning, Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense at the time, was informed. When the president was informed, however is not known. The question of who was responsible came up quickly. When asked, White House officials, including Hillary Clinton, responded that the attack was spurred on by an anti-Muslim video on YouTube. The owner of the video was taken into custody. However, the truthfulness

Although many historical filmmakers alter some events and use fiction as a tool in providing an accurate historical representation, the makers of “The

Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality

In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since

Who should be accountable for the Benghazi attacks? Is it the pentagon or congress. The Benghazi attacks could of been prevented if it wasn’t for the failure of the state department because they didn’t increase security and denied the pentagon’s request during attacks.

He took it as his duty to display the truth of what happened in Benghazi. The actors, producers, and extras were blessed with the presence on set of the surviving heroes of Benghazi. Mitchell Zuckoff had the same help when he wrote the book 13 hours: The inside account of what really happened in Benghazi. He had the help of the brave americans in Benghazi; Oz, Tanto, and Tig. These men were helping both Mitchell Zuckoff and Michael Bay with detailed descriptions and memories of the most stressful 13 hours of their life. They gave the actors who played them advice and imitations of what they felt like that night (Zuckoff 128). This helped Michael Bay make the most perfect scene-capturing and historically accurate action film. The words "Based on a true story" is usually exaggerated on how accurately a film depicts the real events but the movie 13 hours falsifies that

However, many notable controversies and scandals have marred her political career. On September 11th, 2012, US Government buildings came under attack from terrorists in Benghazi, Libya. Ambassador John Stevens was killed in the attack, as were four other Americans. Clinton took responsibility for a series of security lapses that many believe cost Ambassador Stevens his life. Clinton testified for eleven hours in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Though Clinton emerged largely unscathed from the hearings, she was still criticized for her handling of the situation.

Why Benghazi? Did Benghazi have anything to offer? Yes, there was a point in attacking the United States consulate in Benghazi. Some people believe that this attack was planned to coincide with the day the World Trade Center was destroyed. Others believe it the “Innocence of Muslims”video released on Youtube that caused the uproar of violence. Political blogger Kevin Drum wrote in his article Yes, the "Innocence of Muslims" Video Really Did Play a Role In The Benghazi Attacks; “ ... the best evidence we have from witnesses on the ground is clear: the "Innocence of Muslims" video inspired the initial attacks, which then escalated

On September 11th, 2012 the American embassy in Libya was attacked by Islamic militants. The events that lead up to this have been debated by politicians and scholars alike. The cause in my opinion was a severe lack of security. The Benghazi Embassy needed to be reinforced or it needed to be shut down and the U.S. citizens pulled out. There were repeated requests for more security but these were not met. There was evidence that Benghazi was becoming unsafe for foreigners. Prior to the attack the British ambassador was attacked. And a bomb was also thrown at the consulate fortunately no one was injured. Even after this the State Department did not increase security. And on September 11th the inevitable happened to the woefully under prepared

The facts in the movie may not be 100% true but there is a story behind the movie. That are based around accurate and true events that occurred. The movie does

The Americans and the militiamen at the Compound got affirmation via radio and cellphone that the aggressors had appeared to be regrouping and adding reinforcements for a renewed attack. Outside the villa, operators heard the Team Leader chatting with the DS agents about leaving the Compound instantly and heading to the Annex. They would not like to abandon Stevens, however they comprehended that they were sitting ducks if they stayed too long. A call came over the radio from the Team Leader for everybody to summon at the vehicles for quick flight. Rone drove the pressed Mercedes forward. The minute they reached the door, the United States Special Mission Compound in Benghazi would successfully stop to exist.

There isn’t a single redeeming factor here, every line, actor, and stunt is painstakingly bad. I’d assumed - given his inclusion in the upcoming ‘Deadpool’ film - that Ed Skrein would try his best with what he has, but he doesn’t. Skrein is the next Jai Courtney or Sam Worthington,

At least a hour of it. I thought it was a fun summer blockbuster, but that is truly about it. I personally will never watch this film again. The characters and script of this film are not the best. Like I said before Pratt really shines because he was the only character that had a good plot and was a well written character. Howard's acting was good, but had a terrible introduction so I never was attached to her character. The kids of the film also have nothing intersecting besides a plot that we have seen a million times and have way to much backstory that takes away from the main plot of the film. This whole film just felt way to busy and was a just a mix bag of stories that got thrown to together because it changed so many hands. I will give massive props to Trevorrow, who I could tell was big fan of the original film. Giving tons of odds to the first one and showing some great recreations of scenes that we all know and love. My closing thoughts on this film is that it feels like a lot of wasted potential. Going from doing something very cool and smart back to being mind numbingly stupid the next. The film really tires to uncover the bones of the first one, but only barely scratching the

Me neither. But for what it is, I think it 's a really good film.
