This week I was watching the movie Vice and I became frighteningly aware of what mad-power can do globally and how one individual with undemocratic values can affect a whole world.
Christian Bale plays George W. Bush’s Vice President Dick Cheney. Richard Bruce Cheney has been cited as the most powerful vice president in American history. In the movie it appears that those who work with Cheney want to protest against his leadership, but for some reason they don´t.
We must not let the story repeat itself, but we do it over and over again. We are educated about the Second World War, but we do not need to back 79 years, until 1939, to learn about power-mad and undemocratic leaders. It is important that we compare the consequences of the Second World War with what is happening in the present.
I recommend you to watch the movie Vice.
Please comment with your reflections when you watch the movie.
