I had to see the film twice, because I could barely believe some of the scenes I was witnessing.
And I wanted to note the double standard in all this without actually pointing it out.
Namely, one for Oliver Stone and one for everyone else.
After my second viewing, I kind of felt sorry for Ellsberg. I mean, to dispose of him in about 14-15 minutes, when he was the guy who got the PP and supplied them to about 19 newspaper outlets, and then was the person who was criminally indicted, along with his friend Russo. I mean to marginalize Ellsberg and to make heroes and heroines out of Graham and Bradlee?
What is wrong with this picture? Just about everything.
