I seen the movie "The Good Shepherd ", I think it sounds like a subtitle "History of the CIA . like you've never heard tell." I'm not an expert on film, so I speak only about the contents: a film is blatantly dishonest and biased. The main character plays a part very close to what was the role the Central Intelligence Agency of the great James Jesus Angleton : chief of counterintelligence, another figure was inspired by the no less important Allen Welsh Dulles and De Niro plays with his usual mastery of the "copy" of General William "Wild Bill" Donovan , former head of ' OSS (Office of Strategic Services) during the Second World War and founder of the modern CIA Much of the film focuses on personal matters and family of the protagonist, who is described as a man barren, devoid of scruples and principles, for the professional aspects, see the "pseudoAngleton" engaged in a series of operations after the war, including the attempted invasion of Cuba fall into the hands of Castro. The career of the real Angleton was different: after being Agency station chief in Rome in the late '40s, focuses exclusively on counterintelligence. Angleton helped to maintain the CIA as far as possible impervious to attempts at penetration and infiltration by the KGB . Angleton smacherò idologic also lights that were part of the Cambridge Five : Guy Burgess, Donald McLean and Harold Philby. The activity of Angleton was so intense and rewarding, you can say everything about him, but certainly not describe him as a person who orders to lay hands on a plane the bride of his son.
The figure of Allen Welsh Dulles is even more controversial: he was responsible for actions such as the Bay of Pigs and the various operations to counterinsurgency in Central America, the most famous of which were on the Guatemala. was Director of the CIA, while his brother John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under Eisenhower weak presidency, a wealthy family, were the United Fruit Company and shareholders for years dictated foreign policy is official, the secret is in the United States . To me were two great pillars of the West, but also who does not share my views should know that Allen Dulles was not the type to carry out operations in South America for economic reasons: he did not need and was a patriot. Place that was wrong, it was to what he thought was the interest of the United States of America.
Ultimately, it is a film that has the same defects unpardonable JFK: it is a false history, which is based on figures really existed to cover them with mud. They could make a film telling anything fancy, have preferred to do a movie where these are falsehoods, only to advocate their sordid anti-Americanism.
