Watched this in history class last year.
Watched this in history class this year.
I guess history really does repeat itself.

Roger Donaldson's THIRTEEN DAYS is a pretty solid thriller about the Cuban Missile Crisis at the height of the Cold War between US and the Soviet Union, seen from the perspective of the Kennedy administration. It plunges the viewer straight into the action and ramping up the tension perfectly as the story progresses. Tho, it's little flat cinematically, feels like a big budget episode of The West Wing.

Theme - Cold War - Movies I Have Seen Ranked
Thanks a lot to DisposableMiffy for this great recommendation. I had no idea such a movie existed before he mentioned it. This was a perfect recommendation to me.
* I really enjoyed it. I love reading about the mechanics of US politics and government. So this was fascinating to me. I really had a lot of fun
* I don't know how to review such a movie though. I read the Roger Ebert review of this movie for some advice and some historical lessons, 😂 because I don't know a lot about the Cuban Missile crisis than basic widely known facts. He points out some historical inaccuracies.…

how is this film not registered by the fda because it is the strongest knockout drug i've ever encountered

“I’m your political advisor.
I’m giving you a political analysis here…this…this is a setup.”A thick & meaty dialogue heavy political drama that feels a bit more like a play than real life. I found Costner’s over the top accent ultra-annoying, but one of my favorite character actors, Dylan Baker, does a great job as McNamara.
“So what are we going to do now?”
“I’m going to go on TV” -
It's quite a sobering thought to ponder that had the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 gone a different way, many of us may not even have been born. Thirteen Days succeeds for the most part in conveying, as the tagline says, just how unbelievably close we came to a Third World War and, let's be honest, nuclear Armageddon. Roger Donaldson's film takes what could have been an extremely dry approach in the form of a docu-drama and manages to spin out of it a sprawling but surprisingly tense narrative, despite being largely made up of men talking in rooms; it doesn't feel particularly cinematic in many places but it's attention to detail and visibly exhaustive research, coupled with a number…

I've had to watch this in every high school governement class I've taken.
The system really is broken. -
Great moments of history don’t always lend themselves to great movies; Thirteen Days is exhibit A of that maxim. Don’t get me wrong it’s by no means a bad movie, in fact it’s rather enjoyable. It’s just that it’s a little, well…odd.
Costner’s involvement is the chief culprit in the movies tilt towards oddness. He doesn’t have the age or the hairline to play a Kennedy so he finds himself playing a side character. Costner’s stardom and charisma invariably pushes his peripheral character into the centre of the story in a way that might make movie sense, but feels in conflict with the popular understanding of this period in history.
To put it another way: when people think of the…
