I like Ben Affleck's works. The movie itself is not an outstanding work but it still good. But there is one thing that spoils the whole picture. This movie was made keeping in mind the actual political streams. Just in right place and at right time. That's why it gets awards, that's why I'm sure all awards are politically biased and why, actually, they has no real artistic value. The recipe to get awards is to make movies which are will be approved by the political elite, for example about bad guys in Iran, Iraq, about homosexuality, etc. Are these movies artistically good to be in the lists for awards: The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty ... ?
