The Good Shepherd

This movie might be the most confusing movie I have ever seen.  I love Matt Damon and I enjoyed him in this.  But he didn’t speak much, which was a quality of this lead character.  He looks good without speaking so no complaints here.  Which has nothing to do with the actual movie..so moving on…This movie, I later found out, was about the start of the CIA.  Everything about this movie was about codes and secrets and information and disinformation and make you go crazy kind of thing.  Most of the movie was tied together by finding out two things…one, who around him had alerted the Russians before the Bay of Pigs and two, who or what or where was the picture that was left under his door at the beginning of the movie.  It turns out the two are tied together.  But anyway.  I ended up “getting” that part of the movie but there were several things you just knew were important and had hidden meaning but you just couldnt’ figure out the double-speak or codes.  I read some things online that explained a few things.  I’d like to watch it again to see if it’s easier to watch but it’s 3 hours so I’m not sure I want to spend another 3 hours of my life watching this ultra-detailed movie.  I’m very surprised they cast Angelina Jolie in this movie.  Ignored housewife doesn’t seem to fit her.  I’m not sure whether to recommend this movie it is so much work.  It seems worth checking out just to see if you “get it” and it does spawn some good conversation.  Much kuddos to the writers and other makers of the movie though.  Wow, couldn’t have thought of all that.
