Lions For Lambs
Went to see this Film tonight, not quite sure if I liked it or not.
Made me think a bit ..... it is three interlocked stories taking place simultaneously in Washington, California and Afghanistan.
It had a message behind it which harped back to World War 1, which is where the Title comes from, oddly. The message being that what was said by a highly placed American who witnessed the Lions (the British Cannon-Fodder) being led by Lambs (the Officers/Majors from Eton) ...... how times are no different now.
It also mentioned something which brought me up short - the War on Terror has been going on for 8 years ..... World War 2 was over in 5!!
