      I wouldn't classify "The Good Shepherd" as being even remotely accurate, based on dialog from Nicholas Dujmovic, CIA Staff Historian. It's Hollywood that gives us all that dark "skull and bones" garbage that the world has been eating up, initially, myself included, until I saw that documentary, in which Nicholas Dujmovic speaks in detail everything that was wrong with the movie.
      Search his name, the title is "Hollywood, Don’t You Go Disrespectin’ My Culture: The Good Shepherd vs. Real CIA History"
      Whether there are those involved in these secret societies, it's not known for sure, until it is, and which one's are.
      God's Word has a way of weeding out the lies from the Truth.

      Of course you left out better believable spy movies like;
      AGENT CODY BANKS.
      BAD COMPANY.
      I SPY.
      LEONARD PART 6.
      THE MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE.
      SAFE HOUSE.
      STORMBREAKER.
      THE TUXEDO.
      VOLUNTEERS.
      XXX STATE OF THE UNION.

    La mer, qu'on voit danser
    Le long des golfes clairs
    A des reflets d'argent, la mer
    Des reflets changeants sous la pluie
    La mer au ciel d'été
    confond ses blancs moutons
    Avec les anges si purs
    La mer, bergère d'azur infinie
    Voyez, près des étangs
    Ces grands roseaux mouillés
    Voyez ces oiseaux blancs
    Et ces maisons rouillées
    La mer, les a bercés
    Le long des golfes clairs
    Et d'une chanson d'amour
    La mer a bercé mon cœur pour la vie

    • @jalabi99
      @jalabi99 11 місяців тому

      As much as I liked _Argo_ as a movie, it took a lot of liberties with the real-life story. For instance, casting Ben Affleck (who isn't Hispanic) as the real-life organizer of the plot Tony Mendez (who is).

    Not sure if Heroes of Telemark qualifies as a spy film.
    It is about the TRUE story of the destruction of the heavy water plant in Norway.
    It also portrays the tragic, but necessary, sinking of a civilian Norwegian ferry
    to destroy the heavy water as it was being transported to Germany.
    That sabotage caused the deaths of many innocent civilians.
    It shows the true heart break of war.

    You should mention Five Fingers (a good rendition of the real story).
    And The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.
    You project the idea that only recent films can do a good spy film.
    The old ones were not all Dr No and Ipcress File.
