Syriana (2005) directed by Stephen Gaghan
It is a nice thing that Syriana directed by Stephen Gaghan (who wrote Soderberg's film Traffic)is a plot less film about the dealings made in the world of oil trade as it avoids the pitfalls of a documentary film. A documentary film about the Macchiavellian tactics employed in global oil business would surely necessitate enormous hard work and since it is a tough thing to do so,it is hardly surprising that not many film makers have decided to work on it.Syriana is the only work of art made in recent times which comes closer to a somewhat meaningful and accurate first hand view of oil trade
industry.Syriana is a very relevant statement on the pitiful state of our contemporary world in which policy makers, diplomats decide the fate of our world through their weird corrupt policies which are intended to further their own personal interests.Syriana appears to be fair as no one involved in the greed for oil is spared.To do so the director has taken us on a whirlwind tour of various places where oil dealings take place.Despite its major star cast this
film never loses its equilibrium and stays well within its focus.It is definitely one of those films which the policy makers would like to eschew due to its subtle yet explosive content.
