After all, the message of the Bush years wasn't one of pure heroism. But in its feints towards moral ambiguity, its grim brutality, it's exactly the kind of movie a modern-day CIA propagandist would want made. Nothing is, for one thing-Hitler is Hitler-and the narrative of the war on terror is too poisoned for something so unabashedly deifying. "Zero Dark Thirty" isn't propaganda like "Triumph of the Will" is propaganda. In terms of pure skill, Bigelow is a tough act to top. It catches hold of you and grips you as tightly as any movie possibly could. It comes at you like a drug trip gone south, all jagged edges and anxiety. Zero Dark Thirty will open in theaters on January 13."Zero Dark Thirty," Kathryn Bigelow's film about the killing of Osama bin Laden, is a frighteningly well-made piece of work.
“So, to find humanity within that arc was a great feat that would have been impossible without Kathryn and Mark’s leadership.” “As an actor, you spend your whole life trying to be emotional and keeping yourself emotionally open,” she said. But Chastain is quick to point out that without Bigelow and Boal (who is also an investigative journalist familiar with the bin Laden subject) she would never have been able to succeed in the part. “So even when I’d come home from the set, they were always around me.”Īlthough the role was challenging, Chastain found playing Maya to be satisfying-not to mention the fact that’s she been receiving lots of Oscar buzz. “I had the props person print out all of the photographs of the terrorists and I hung them in my room at the hotel,” she mentioned.
While shooting, Chastain helped remain in the right frame of mind by focusing on her character.
The film centers around the CIA operative’s search for Osama bin Laden in Iraq, but was filmed in Jordan and India. questions that I couldn’t answer through the research, I had to use my imagination, Kathryn ’s imagination and Mark to create a character that went along the lines that respected the real woman.” “I had to approach like any other character I’ve played. “I never met Maya, because she’s an undercover CIA agent-it would not have been a good thing to do,” Chastain told Movieline. Even though Jessica Chastain is portraying a real person in the new film, Zero Dark Thirty, she didn’t have the opportunity to meet her.
