MOVIE REVIEW Three movies were made detailing the hunt for the Worlds Most Wanted Man Al Qaeda terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden and his eventual death in the hands of Navy S.E.A.L. Team 6 in May 2011. The three movies giving an insight to "Operation Neptune Spear" - "Zero Dark Thirty", "Manhunt" & "CODE NAME: GERONIMO"
Zero Dark Thirty is a 2012 war film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. Billed as "the story of history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man", the film dramatizes the decade-long manhunt for Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Ladenafter the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, leading to the eventual discovery of his compound in Pakistan, and the military raid on that compound that resulted in his death in May 2011.
The film stars Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, and Édgar RamÃrez. It was produced by Boal, Bigelow, and Megan Ellison, and was independently financed by Ellison's Annapurna Pictures. The film had its premiere in Los Angeles, California on December 19, 2012 and had its wide release on January 11, 2013.
Zero Dark Thirty received wide critical acclaim and was nominated for five Academy Awards at the 85th Academy Awards, includingBest Picture, Best Actress (Chastain) and Best Original Screenplay. The film won one, for Best Sound Editing. Zero Dark Thirty earned four Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Picture – Drama, Best Director, and won one Best Actress – Drama for Chastain.
The film's graphic depiction of torture has generated controversy, with some critics describing it as pro-torture propaganda, as torture is shown as producing reliably useful and accurate information."The film creates the strong impression that the enhanced interrogation techniques…were the key to finding Bin Laden. That impression is false." said Michael Morell, acting C.I.A. director.Other critics describe it as an anti-torture exposure of interrogation practices.
Some Republicans charged that the filmmakers were given improper access to classified materials, which they denied. An unreleased draft IG report published by the Project on Government Oversight in June, 2013 stated former C.I.A. Director Leon Panetta discussed classified information during an awards ceremony for the SEAL team that carried out the raid on the Bin Laden compound. Screenwriter Mark Boal was among the 1300 present during the ceremony.

8. Beyond Rangoon
Beyond Rangoon is a 1995 drama film directed by John Boorman about Laura Bowman (played by Patricia Arquette), an Americantourist who vacations in Burma (Myanmar) in 1988, the year in which the 8888 Uprising takes place. The film was mostly filmed in Malaysia, and, though a work of fiction, was inspired by real people and real events.
Bowman joins, albeit initially unintentionally, political rallies with university students protesting for democracy, and travels with the student leader U Aung Ko throughout Burma. There, they see the brutality of the military dictators of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), and attempt to escape to Thailand.
The film was an official selection at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, where it was one of the popular hits of the event.
The film may have had an impact beyond movie screens, however. Only weeks into its European run, the Burmese military junta freed Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi (depicted in the film) after several years under strict house arrest. The celebrated democracy leader thanked the filmmakers in her first interview with the BBC.[citation needed] Suu Kyi was re-arrested a few years later, but Beyond Rangoon had already helped raise world attention on a previously "invisible" tragedy: the massacres of 1988 and the cruelty of her country's military rulers.

The Malaysian Government has developed its own incentives for content development specifically for film, television and other screen production. The Malaysian Government anticipates that this incentive will encourage production works and increase skill sets that would be of international standard for the populace throughout the ecosystem of the creative content industry. This impetus is of crucial importance to the nation’s economic, social and intellectual development. The Malaysian Government believes that this effort would be a landmark decision that would benefit, develop and further support the industry. This incentive will not only promote the creation of quality creative content, it will also make Malaysia a preferred destination and film production hub.
The Malaysian Government introduced the “Film in Malaysia Incentive” to provide an additional financial incentive for the production of creative content within Malaysia, and to encourage support for the Malaysian content production industry. FIMI is a 30% cash rebate on all Qualifying Malaysian Production Expenditure (QMPE) which meets the criteria further elaborated upon in these Guidelines. This incentive is offered for production and post production approved activities beginning early 2013.
FIMI’s objectives are to:
Encourage Malaysian film producers to produce high quality creative content for both domestic and international markets.
Attract foreign film producers to conduct film activities in Malaysia and to establish Malaysia as a destination for international filming.
Increase employment opportunities for artists and local crews who provide goods and services throughout the ecosystem of the creative content industry.
Increase opportunities for film production companies, post-production centre, film equipment rental companies and studios or companies that provide goods and services throughout the ecosystem of the creative content industry.
Drive the creative content ecosystem and increase the economic contribution of the creative content industry and related industries.
Develop Malaysia's reputation as an efficient and cost effective hub for the creative content industry.
FIMI is available for both Malaysian and foreign production activities. It can be applied in one of two streams:
(A) FIMI for Production Activity; or (B) FIMI for Post Production Activity.
