pat tillman was a uh... a four-year starting safety for the uh... a result
of cardinals who after the attacks on september eleventh
quit the n_f_l_ a couple of million dollar contract
walked away
without any publicity any publicity generated
was the fact that people covered this story but he wouldn't talk about it
use brother signed up to go fight
in afghanistan
and then a couple years later when he was that killed in action the
circumstances of his death
became uh... a big news story and then there was a significant military
cover-up which we all know about and the movie is about sort of his family's
desire to fight the military and i'm cover
the truth about what happened to their son who became a
a a rather
significant
that american hero vendor interpretation of what kind of hero was really depended
on uh... what side of the work of our here's the uh...
people anyone in seattle afghanistan was the right thing since the end of i'd
like to see stop think about just how often we haven't the slightest some more
volatile
multi-million dollar contract in professional football
for israeli hills was and still is the same down part of his positions voice
was heard his plans to take the fight human resources
they always see the superstar that sacrificed themselves to learn from it
necessary sometimes that we're going to make this sermon
three dollars
the entire unita national i was fourteen years and somebody told me something
unusual yelled out recently
what they said happened didn't have anything so you have to set the record
straight
limiting their cells in trying to
recently have been worse a lot of people started
person
and the owners of the film is the reason
ammunition anton marriage
greenpeace and insecure every instance in a minute
financial i can tell you that you know so i don't know if i don't recall
precisely however and that he was killed just doesn't realize
find out in the military is worth the light
celebrations
they are still tell the story gets a good sense of uh...
obviously does a pretty dramatic trailer and i think a pretty dramatic film it is
pretty great and nearby lab who directed also g_-eight
like you could paint that which was excellent
and he plays this kind of like a mystery as he did with that but that earlier
film where
you're kinda go along with the family has investigated these documents is
there and they have but thousands over three thousand pages redacted documents
that they take a look at overload them
we're swamped understand why bother with it but his mom was just totally
persistent and then because together and
city mystery for us to go along with it within two
i have found asking beyond of course their investigation let's find out who
he really but nini he lisette assemble as a poster boy inadvertently you know
and i am okay guy he actually was
was just as riveting for me as the mystery five figure out who actually
killed i mean the fact that he was and goof off and get to taking risks and he
wasn't thinking he was a regular guy truly do you think i would have been
there guy that was just as as fascinating for me
yeah i i liked how the family the mother danny the father pat tillman a senior in
his brother richard that's as younger brother was much younger brother is
younger brother kevin signed up with him
bobbitt that these three people who participated on camera looks like kevin
participate in the film but like
pat he will not
in any way paid seems like exploit
his brother's death that's or
the made take advantage of this one anybody to sit around and say look at
you you're so bravely just
that same with that that's all that's one way one reason you admire the but i
i like that all three members of the film and family
they were legitimate characters
i mean they were obviously
real but they played like characters in this documentary
each sort of really had their own
their own belief system their own idea of what was important they all took
their brother's death through their son's death
in their own particular way which gave them each
i thought their each own independent and strong voice throughout and his wife to
me we get to know whitehall frighteningly value
one thing that fits in calling that we learn from nasa may be a mapping is that
kind of it
disarmament winding military brass kaisa come into her house ostensibly to
console her an offer any guide with the right way my reporters say that i could
hear the military guys look at uh... helpless and i have actually there are
forcing her to
give her husband
the military payroll the he did not want the he specified bcd and uh...
binoculars provide keys say they ask you a nudge if you know he circles you know
weis weis temples no and then write out like i do not want military camera might
have gone over that i do not want to go to
or if you're an estimate that sweat he died because they wanted to forces
pulling d_n_c_'s patriotism as as a symbol
inactive to further the war
yeah i mean what we know as it turned out with what we have learned before 'em
we didn't know the extent of the cover up but we knew that as we learn more
about pat tillman the idea that the
military
after his death
him essentially is a recruiting
this brave guy who gave his life for country
that look at this terrible thing that happened over the internet is killed by
friendly fire one of the frustrations the film
and it's not the film's fault it's short of shared with the family which i end up
liking isn't
we don't quite know exactly what happened
really that the shot and shot and work how it at worldwide
no one is suggesting that it was intentional but we don't exactly know
the exact circumstances of that day still for the families frustration
but then it turned out this is a guy who was unquestionably against the iraq war
and i'm hesitant now because i don't want to
ifill pony that norman to advance my own believes about the right mister on
mister that war
but he didn't believe in iraq war
we know that
and he was starting to question
the eighty was at least concerned about what was happening afghanistan
and he red though stiffer ously and he read liberal writers and the idea that
the military in the bush administration sort of co-opt his death to make it
their own
is one thing that made the family so unbelievably angry that they thought
their son
uh... there pat had been sort of
taken away and there's that wonderful scene at the funeral
which i guess some people saw on television the time but it's worth the
whole movie of his brother's eulogy at the funeral therapeutic john mccain's at
all as military brass is where he just sort of says this is
you don't know my brother boil attitude from great great mom and that it's
highly he discussed bright purple with really i think that the money that they
stand up for his own any
drama right unit was going to happen and you can see what you draw open
that there's so much inherit
emotions so much sadness too much frustration and he never over plans and
flex at all play out he'd put all the information out for us
it's very clear i dan just totally it's very evening and just let the dust and
seventy feet nine million real quick when a stanley crystal were lost his job
after the things he has aids said about uh... barack obama
you know he read those stories and uh... and some much of the criticism of a
crystal was that uh... you know he had uh... played an enormous role and may
have been the highest-ranking military off so that we know of involved in the
cover up at some of the blunt question we cover update flat-out lied not first
about friendly fire and then
about the extent of about that did what exactly happened
how this sort of
wildly in cobb incompetent moment occurred on the battlefield in since i'm
not in the military
those short of panic moments but
there was a cover-up an
mcc resto
it was the highest ranking officer aware of it as we do you read those stories
when the crystal lost his job but seeing it here in the film and the way it's
told it's a whole different reminder of
we have that right
disco was involved in that
and it was all and why do people still not know that in the cover up his
is just have a different here
the cover-up is is worse than the crime this is a terrible mistake
just say it was a terrible him
painted it may be inseparably both look and see how that there is that you know
there is some stuff it's been out there in books and
news report there's a lot of new stuff to sell lot of stuff that's all
put together the dramatic way you've never heard for the family to the extent
interfilm legitimate
i given nine
yes pretty great i give it a point five should have given ur
and right now
that'll screw up the graphic but
pretend
so our rating for
for the tillman story comes to an eight point seven five but really
if in doubt
you can see sydney point eight people it up to their
