12 Strong based on real events

THE MOVIE 12 Strong is about twelve soldiers that volunteered to go to Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks. Their mission was to take down the Taliban and Al Qaeda with the help they were forced to use by the Northern Alliance. This movie looks like it will be really good to watch when it comes out in theatres January 19. I plan to watch the movie because it has a lot of action.

I am a big fan of action movies and I like watching movies that are based on real events that happened in the past. The movie combines four genres: action, drama, history, and war. Action and drama are there for the gun actions and all the intense moments between the soldiers. The drama can also be about how the families are handling the situation.

War and history go very well together because history is what happened in the past and wars have a lot of history that we don’t know about. There are some events that we do not know because government officials kept it classified from the people. The last movie that I watched that involved history and war was Zero Dark Thirty. That movie was about Navy Seals finding and killing Osama Bin Laden.

There was also the movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi that I am still trying to watch in my free time. This movie is about Islamic militants attacking the U.S. Consulate and killing Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith (an officer for the Foreign Services). There are also some other war movies that I watched, such as Pearl Harbor and Hacksaw Ridge.

The movie 12 Strong will hopefully be worth watching in movie theatres. I really like these kinds of movies, but the trailers for any movie always make it appear hyped up. Then, sometimes the movie turns out to be bad. For example, the Transformers movies (except the first and second ones) and Stars Wars: Force Awakens are the only ones that I can think of off the top of my head. If 12 Strong turns out to be like that, I would feel super disappointed.

What would probably make me not like it if they change too much of the facts in the movie or take some out that would shorten the movie’s length. Sometimes the director takes out too much and can sometimes confuse the viewers because they don’t know what probably happened like two seconds ago. It better be good, because I would rather read and research about what had happened than watch bad movies.

That is why I do not like watching history movies a lot—they remove some important facts or change how it happened. If they don’t do anything wrong and it turns out to be good, it will be on my list to recommend to everybody to watch in their free time. I just hope that the movie turns out to be great.
