Gatekeepers
Year: 2012
Grade: B-
Country: Israel
Director: Moreh
Reviewdocumentary that interviews several ex leaders of the israeli shin bet (their security agency). i’m about as tired of middle east politics as anyone else out there. and much of this documentary is pretty boring. that said, about half of it is worth watching the same way that fog of war was worth watching. maybe if it was about american history, i’d be more engaged. there’s something about rehashing the same old crap from a antediluvian feud that just makes me bored as hell.
in the end most of them conclude that essentially they’re just banging their head against a brick wall. neither side understands the other and yet the game continues. hopefully america gets out of the business of the rest of the world and we can clean our own house and let these guys figure their own shit out or get busy dying. i’ve had it with stupidity.
