The Good Shepherd

This movie looks interesting, right up my alley-perhaps a postcard from the edge of hatch's misspent youth.

Synopsis:
The tumultuous early history of the Central Intelligence Agency is viewed through the prism of one man’s life in The Good Shepherd, an espionage drama starring Academy Award® winners Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie and Robert De Niro and directed by Robert De Niro. Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) understands the value of secrecy—discretion and commitment to honor have been embedded in him since childhood. As an eager, optimistic student at Yale, he is recruited to join the secret society Skull and Bones, a brotherhood and breeding ground for future world leaders. Wilson’s acute mind, spotless reputation and sincere belief in American values render him a prime candidate for a career in intelligence, and he is soon recruited to work for the OSS (the precursor to the CIA) during WWII. As one of the covert founders of the CIA, working in the heart of an organization where duplicity is required and nothing is taken at face value, Edward’s’ idealism is steadily eroded by a growing suspicious nature, reflective of a world settling into the long paranoia of the Cold War. As his methods are adopted as standard operating procedure, Wilson develops into one of the Agency’s veteran operatives, all the while combating his KGB counterpart. However, his steely dedication to his country comes at an ever-increasing price. Not even his wife Clover (Angelina Jolie) or his beloved son can divert Wilson from a path that will force him to sacrifice everything in pursuit of this job. The Good Shepherd is directed by Robert De Niro, written by Eric Roth and produced by Morgan Creek’s James G. Robinson and Tribeca Productions’ Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro. Universal Pictures distributes domestically, with Morgan Creek handling foreign distribution.

The movie looks good. Can't wait to see it. DeNiro directed it.

De Niro directing and starring in, Matt Damon, Jolie, and JOE PESCI's return to the big screen! This movie looks to be very good. Another De Niro film to add to the collection... when ti is released on DVD.

Looks pretty good... I'm sure it'll get nominations for something...

Did Poppy Bush have anything to do with this movie?

Sounds like a severely whitewashed version of his own early life story.

I think you have a secret fetish to perform oral sex on "Poppy Bush" because no matter what the thread is, you try to turn it into something havin' to do with him...

When you were a little boy, were you visiting Texas? Did a man looking and talking like Bush touch you in places you found uncomfortable at the time? Did you think back years later and wish he did it again now that you're an adult???

Dude, you have some serious issues...

It's not always about Bush...

**FORD** · 11.26.06, 11:26 AM

Ignore history at your own peril. The CIA has been a division of the Bush Criminal Empire from day one.

Dude, it's a fuckin' movie...

Everyone has known forever that Hollywood is a bunch of tree hugging, bleeding heart liberals... Anything to make the Republicans look bad is their secret agenda. I don't think you'll have to worry one bit that Bush will be thrown under the bus...

**onefootoutthedoor** · 11.26.06, 02:10 PM

Looks like a really good movie. I'll be sure to see it when it comes out.

Wow, I guess that's why I think everything's about Jessica Alba...
