"In The Loop" is a hilarious political satire. Since it's a comedy, a crew of very animated actors and actresses were chose to play the roles (sadly, no "Larry the cable guy"). James Gandolfini for instance, plays Lt. Gen. George Miller. This particular role was basically created to portray a "political mafia", a "loud barking origami tiger". All depictions of characters in the film are mostly based on some politicians in real life. Gandofini's character was probably based on Colin Powell, except Colin Powell did resign and never really suppoterted the troops. The film, is after all, a comedy, not some heavy truth-ripping moral-pounding documentary films like "Super Size Me". It does provide some closure to the audiences, with seemingly casual cinematography, motion cams and fast editing made to resemble a documentary film, to the world of crazy politician who is literally working 24-7 around the globe to solve important issues. Don't bring you kids to see this film, just don't. (unless the kid can be sedated whenever there is cursing, which just about throughout the entire film)Do watch it if you have a free evening and someone willing to buy the pop-corn :)
