The Good Shepherd
Edward Wilson, the only witness to his father's suicide and member of the Skull and Bones Society while a student at Yale, is a morally upright young man who values honor and discretion, qualities that help him to be recruited for a career in the newly founded OSS. His dedication to his work does not come without a price though, leading him to sacrifice his ideals and eventually his family. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →I re-watched the Tom Hanks movie "Greyhound" (2020) based on the book by C. S. Forester, The Good Shepherd (1955) and was reminded of this timeless adage: "It's not how we fall, but how we rise that defines us." - C. S. Forester, The Good Shepherd (1955) #SundaySentence

unlabelledView post →“Greyhound,” the recent Tom Hanks adaptation of “The Good Shepherd” by C.S. Forester, is another good example. Solid film made from a kinda mid Forester novel. Hardly any of his work holds up to the Hornblower series, but that’s a high bar imo.
unlabelledView post →Odd movie, but that seemed to be a big theme of The Good Shepherd.
unlabelledView post →Hey, northern MN friends, I'm going to be in Clearbrook on May 14, giving a presentation about the 1894 Hinckley firestorm (why has no one made a movie of this????) at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church at 9:30. Join me!
unlabelledView post →There was plenty wrong with the film 'The Good Shepherd', devoted to the early history of the CIA. But one dialogue stuck with me: Palmi (mafia) to Wilson (CIA): "Youse are the guys that scare me. You're the people that make big wars." Wilson: "No, we make sure the wars are small ones, Mr. Palmi."
unlabelledView post →On another note, I watched Greyhound again for just the second time. First time since joining Kidd and actually reading The Good Shepherd and I have to say reading the book made me enjoy the movie much more than the first time.

unlabelledView post →[Watching the move The Good Shepherd] "Holy shit, is that John Tuturro?" "Holy shit, is that Lee Pace?" "Holy shit, is that William Hurt?" "Holy shit, is that Eddie Redmayne?" (This will continue for the entire length of the movie.)
unlabelledView post →DeNiro has also directed! A Bronx Tale was well received (haven't seen it) and The Good Shepherd wasn't bad. (Sin City was a good movie too, dammit though I'm guessing a lot of Miller's co-director credit was actual work on the movie as opposed to Rodriguez cribbing from his work on the page)
unlabelledView post →"Greyhound" inspired me to read "The Good Shepherd" it was based on, but I liked the movie way better.
unlabelledView post →I need to watch The Good Shepherd again at some point. Such a great movie. A lil slow, but very good...
unlabelledView post →This is communicated most succinctly in the movie The Good Shepherd by Matt Damon's character - "We keep the wars small".
unlabelledView post →Re film The Good Shepherd: For a teen to’ve called herself “Clover”—after tragic Marian Hooper (“Clover”) Adams—was a cry for help & a curse upon her father & a threat to her hoodwinkled husband. Listen to the character…how she was written, how she was played by Jolie. It’s a CIA story w/ ~SECRETS~
unlabelledView post →The book it's based on is quite good as well. The Good Shepherd by C. S. Forester. Movie is very accurate to my limited knowledge.

unlabelledView post →I just tried to remember and almost said Charlie Wilson's War. I looked it up and it was actually The Good Shepherd. What a weird fucking date movie.
unlabelledView post →🍵😶 mirren's attitude & delivery here makes me think of the attitudes & character of the kinds of people portrayed in The Good Shepherd (2006); less interesting as a spy movie than as character study & contemplation of the society & kind of people who embody it still very much in power today,,
unlabelledView post →I liked The Good Shepherd, but missed Greyhound because I'm always scared a book to movie won't hold up. Sounds like I should give it a shot.
unlabelledView post →The Good Shepherd is definitely a better film, though. It doesn't have the makeup problems of J. Edgar. De Niro directs it really quite well.
unlabelledView post →I rewatched The Good Shepherd (2006) a few months ago and there’s an essay stuck in the corner of my mind about themes in the movie and the biblical story about Job—about the Good Shepherd who makes wagers at the expense of those in its care, who presumably are not owed an account of their misery.

Forester’s novel “The Good Shepherd” and in it, American, British, and Polish destroyers and a corvette endure a lot to get one convoy across the North Atlantic one time. The novel did not represent the whole Atlantic War, and the adaptation stayed close to the book.

That theory sort works for Matt Damon here with this lacklustre drama set around the time in world history when the American government realised they needed to gather intelligence about whom their potential 20th century foes might be.…
