A bit of history

Var iväg på filmkväll igår, blev ännu en verklighetsbaserad film, Invictus om Nelson Mandela. Det är en ganska lång film, men jag tycker den visar den historiska biten väldigt bra. Sista matchen pågår dock under 30 minuter, vilket är helt onödigt och tråkigt. Clint Eastwood kunde lungt ha kortat ner det till hälften då det egentligen inte ger filmen något. Lite dåligt jobb med castingarna av accenterna, som i de flesta fall låter allt annat än sydamerikanska.

Invictus is a 2009 biographical sports drama film directed by Clint Eastwood starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation about the events in South Africa before and during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, hosted in that country following the dismantling of apartheid. Freeman and Damon play, respectively, South African President Nelson Mandela and François Pienaar, the captain of the South African rugby union team the Springboks.

The title Invictus may be translated from the Latin as undefeated or unconquered.

Training & Sushi

Zumba med Vivi på Sweatshop idag. Och snacka om att jag märker av att jag inte tränat på snart 3 veckor, samt att det är kallt ute. Såååå jobbigt, man blir skitvarm då temperaturskillnaden är så enorm med inne och ute, och kondisen, ja den tappas snabbt...

Ett fint skoskav som började blöda hade jag också och så glömde jag knäskyddet, så lagom lyckat, men kul var det :)

Sedan åkte jag till Hai och hämtade hem sushi till kvällsmat :) Älskar deras sushi.

The Trailer is better than the movie

Har ni någonsin beställt hem en film, som ni varit supernyfikna på, som bara verkade sååå bra på trailern, men när ni börjat titta på den så tänker ni "Vad är detta?!".

Fick hem Fair Game för någon dag sedan och tittade på den igår. Såg trailern med en annan film och jag längtade verkligen tills Fair Game skulle komma. Men snacka om besvikelse. Filmen är CIA-baserad och verklighetsbaserad, men verkligen skittråkig. Sean Penn & Naomi Watts spelar huvudrollerna.

CIA operative Valerie Plame discovers her identity is allegedly leaked by the government as payback for an op-ed article her husband wrote criticizing the Bush administration.

Som sagt är storyn baserad på den riktiga fd CIA-agenten Valerie Plame.

Plame was accepted into the 1985–86 CIA officer training class and began her training for what would become a twenty-year career with the Agency. Although the CIA will not release publicly the specific dates from 1985 to 2002 when she worked for it, due to security concerns, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald affirmed that Plame "was a CIA officer from January 1, 2002, forward and her association with the CIA was classified at that time through July 2003". Due to the nature of her clandestine work for the CIA, many details about Plame's professional career are still classified, but it is documented that she worked for the CIA in a clandestine capacity relating to counter-proliferation.

Plame served the CIA as a non-official cover (or NOC), operating undercover in (at least) two positions in Athens and Brussels. While using her own name, "Valerie Plame", her assignments required posing in various professional roles in order to gather intelligence more effectively. Two of her covers include serving as a junior consular officer in the early 1990s in Athens and then later an energy analyst for the private company (founded in 1994) "Brewster Jennings & Associates," which the CIA later acknowledged was a front company for certain investigations.

A former senior diplomat in Athens remembered Plame in her dual role and also recalled that she served as one of the 'control officers' coordinating the visit of President George H.W. Bush to Greece and Turkey in July 1991 After the Gulf War in 1991, the CIA sent her first to the London School of Economics and then the College of Europe, in Bruges, for Master's degrees. After earning the second one, she stayed on in Brussels, where she began her next assignment under cover as an "energy consultant" for Brewster-Jennings. Beginning in 1997, Plame's primary assignment was shifted to the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The CIA’s Ishmael Jones confirmed her status as a NOC and remarked that she was talented and highly intelligent, but decried the fact that her career largely featured US-based Headquarters service, typical of most CIA officers.

She married Wilson in 1998 and gave birth to their twins in 2000, and resumed travel overseas in 2001, 2002, and 2003 as part of her cover job. She met with workers in the nuclear industry, cultivated sources, and managed spies. She was involved in ensuring that Iran did not acquire nuclear weapons.

During this time, part of her work concerned the determination of the use of aluminum tubes purchased by Iraq. CIA analysts prior to the Iraq invasion were quoted by the White House as believing that Iraq was trying to acquire nuclear weapons and that these aluminum tubes could be used in a centrifuge for nuclear enrichment. However, David Corn and Michael Isikoff argued that the undercover work being done by Plame and her CIA colleagues in the Directorate of Central Intelligence Nonproliferation Center strongly contradicted such a claim.

The boat-trip

Har haft en del att göra de senaste dagarna, så blitt lite dåligt med inlägg :/

Båtresan då. Satte mig i Disco/Bar delen då sofforna är bekväma, det fanns ett eluttag till laptopen och de gör riktigt god Latte Macchiato :P

Tittade på So You Think You Can Dance? som hade den bästa veckan jag någonsin sett vad gäller numrena som dansades (se mina 6 favoriter HÄR). Sedan tittade jag på Vanity Fair med bl.a. Reese Witherspoon (skriver om filmen sen).

Blev Casa Italia som restaurang, cannelloni med spenat och riccota och 0,5l vitt vin, så jag var lagon tipsy när det var dags att stiga av :P (glömde nämna att jag även drack en Caipiroshka i baren :P - ville egentligen ha en Moijito, men bartendern sa att deras mynta som de hade i kylen inte va tillräckligt fräsch :( ).
