Bob Wilton è un giornalista pavido e impacciato, abbandonato dalla moglie e a caccia dello scoop della vita. Inviato di guerra in Iraq nel tentativo disperato e maldestro di attirare l'attenzione della fedifraga consorte, Wilton incontra lo stralunato Lyn Cassady, soldato Jedi e monaco guerriero appartenente alla New Earth Army, un'unità sperimentale dell'esercito americano who wants to "fight" wars with flower power. Able to walk through walls and stop the heart with the look of a goat, the ability to read the mind of the enemy and to dissolve the clouds in the sky, the hippy army, founded by the amazing Bill Django, welcomes to its ranks the journalist, starting at the noble side of the Force. Among kidnappings, longings and massive doses of LSD, Bob Wilton write his article and restore the balance in Forza.Ispirato (maybe) the incredible true story and transposed (undeniably) the book by Jon Ronson, The Men Who Stare Goats is a screwball comedy, black and desecrating monuments to those of the untouchables are often treated with reverence (America's Army). Writing Effective Grant Heslov, screenwriter of Good Night, and Good Luck observer and polished manners of the Americans, you demystifying image in his film debut. Also this time the time is right and intentions encouraging. The taste of the American cinema of commitment is reiterated in the pages and by the look of the director-writer, dealing with very serious topics and acute cynicism settles a typical war movie story from behind the filter of a comic irresistibly illogical. Fully at ease in comedy situations, Heslov realized through with a smile and a story "really happened" a very critical of U.S. policy, populated, yesterday Today, individuals perfectly amoral. With its ability to explore the ambiguities of the army and the troubled backgrounds of the military scene, The Men Who Stare at Goats embodies soldiers (super) heroes and a society divided between fear and patriotism, colonial wars and civic sense, responsibility and revenge. As the officer "enlightened" by Jeff Bridges, who was in Vietnam as a boy and does not want to see a new massacre, who fought in that war with bullets and now wants to fight with flowers, words, and drops of LSD loose on the ranch. The Men Who Stare at Goats to defuse the seriousness of war and its "special forces" through dialogue and witty burlesque intensity of its actors, George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey, all perfectly in part. A film that makes the absolute pleasure of seeing, are chock full of excellent: parodies, new age, language games, quotes, philosophy "star wars", demonstrating once again that cinema can be more explosive than gunpowder.
