Product Description

Product Description

In this comedic look at real life events that are almost too bizarre to believe, reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) discovers an experimental top-secret wing of the U.S. military called the New Earth Army, trained to change the ways wars are fought through New Age psychic power. In search of his next big story, Wilton tracks down Lyn Cassady (Academy Award winner George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be a member of this legion of Warrior Monks with unparalleled psychic powers who can read the enemy's thoughts, pass through walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Inspired by Jon Ronson's non-fiction bestseller of the same name, this is an eye-opening and hilarious story of the government's attempts to harness soldiers' paranormal abilities in order to combat it's enemies. Also stars Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey and Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges.

Amazon.com

Hard to define but easy to enjoy, The Men Who Stare at Goats is the preposterous yet more-true-than-not story of a small-town journalist named Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) who, trying to prove himself in Iraq, stumbles upon a man named Lyn Cassady (George Clooney) who claims to be a psychic spy for the U.S. Army. With dazzling cinematic efficiency, the movie bounces back and forth between the origins of the New Earth Army--a squad of American Jedi warriors--and Bob and Lyn wandering through war-torn Iraq, pursuing a mission that turns out to have been assigned by a vision. The movie shifts from giddy comedy to melancholy as a portrait of human pettiness, manifested in military paranoia and corporate greed, unfolds. The ending loses a bit of steam, but most of The Men Who Stare at Goats is a delight--unusual yet satisfying, funny and thoughtful in turns. Jeff Bridges plays--of course--the addled yet charismatic founder of the New Earth Army, while Kevin Spacey plays--of course--the weaselly, manipulative psychic spy who turns what was meant to transform the world for the better into a mechanism for propaganda and worse. Adapted from the bestselling nonfiction book of the same title by British journalist Jon Ronson, The Men Who Stare at Goats niftily balances surface lunacy with serious undercurrents, buoyed by excellent performances from all involved. --Bret Fetzer

    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Despite an all-star cast and what seems like an amazing script this movie just missed the mark almost every step of the way. It seems very Coen Bros influenced even from the opening shot which reads "This story is more true than you would ever believe" or something akin to Fargo. Also Jeff Daniels is a hippie DUDE in this movie.
    The cast is great and does their jobs well. The entire movie I kept thinking that this script would be really great on paper but it just wasn't landing. I couldn't put my finger on it but the tone was never quite right and every "funny" moment was so deliberate and forced. It is trying way too hard to be quirky and funny and is a mediocre forgettable movie with nothing really memorable. It's worth watching once I guess to kill a couple hours but with this cast and script I can't believe how badly they missed the mark. I don't know quite what's wrong with it but my brain does.

    While the book is told from a serious standpoint, the film version took a humourous look at key points within this work about covert opps and just what else our military gets up to besides honing the Manchurian Candidate with LSD & making them listen to Barney the Purple Dinosaur on an endless loop! Clooney, Bridges, Spacey and McGregor ar their best!

    I've talked to friends who didn't care for this, but I think it's one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I'm a big fan of George Clooney and I've seen the range of his talents many times...he's another Denzel Washington or Morgan Freeman in my book...but this is hilarious. And all the very famous supporting actors were great also....especially Kevin Spacey... and the narrator, Mr. Jedi himself, is, as always, unbelievably great and believable. Excellent value...

    This movie may seem strange to some but has a lot of truth. The roles in my opinion were cast with the correct actors. It has overtones of sarcasm concerning the war in the middle east but this also has a strong thread of truth. Despite the connection with war I still find a great deal of humor in
    the roles of each actor and how they relate to each other.

    I read this over 10 years ago when working for a guy involved, as always the movie wasn’t close to book. I have bought and given to many friends. Funny, a bit disturbing, but seems accurate in portraying intent if not scientific results.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absurd bis in die Genialität!
    Reviewed in Germany on March 6, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Zuerst: man kann den Film sowohl mit 5 wie auch mit 2 oder 3 P bewerten. Je nachdem.
    Für mich ist der Film beim zweiten Mal noch besser, aber immer so absurd, dass ich nicht weiß, ob ich lachen, ausschalten oder gar wegschauen soll. Am Ende siegt meine Liebe zu solchen ungewöhnlichen Filmen.

    Bob Wilton ist ein Journalist, nicht besonders erfolgreich. Er liebt seine Frau, die hat ihn aber für einen anderen verlassen. Jetzt will er ihr beweisen, dass in ihm mehr steckt. Nach einem Interview mit einem etwas komischen Mann, erfährt er, dass die US Army im 80 - Jahren des 20. Jhr. eine besondere Truppe ausgebildet hat, die NUR mit ihren Willen, mit Parapsychologie arbeitete. Dabei waren sie erfolgreich, konnten mit Blicken z.B. Ziegen töten (man muß nur lange genug starren...). Aber, das wollten sie nicht, es genügten kleinere Wunder.
    Er glaubt das nicht, aber im Gespräch fällt ein Name: Lyn Cassady. Der sollte auch ein Teil der Gruppe gewesen sein.
    Als Bob nach Irak gehen will, um sich zu profilieren und dabei seine Nochehefrau zurückzugewinnen, trifft er in Kuwait einen Mann, der ein Badge mit Namen Lyn Cassady trägt. Es macht "klick", und weil er eine Zeichnung gemalt hat, ist auch Lyn begeistert.
    Die beiden tun sich zusammen, weil auch Lyn nach Irak will. Ihr Reise wird immer mehr zu einem "Highway to Hell". Sie werden entführt, per Zufall geretet, wieder in Trouble fast erschossen.
    Lyn erzählt Bob immer mehr von der Truppe, die man Jedi - Krieger nannte. Seine Hochachtung gilt dem damaligen Chef Bill Django. Er war in Vietnam, wurde verletzt. Nach dem Krieg ging er in eine Hippie - Comune. Und kam zu der Idee, dass jede Army "psychologisch" ausgebildete Soldaten braucht. Die nicht mit Waffen, sondern mit ihrem Willen usw "kämpfen".
    Weil ein General daran glaubt, und weil die Russen damals angeblich mit Parapsychologie die ganze Welt beherschen wollten, bekommt Django seine Einheit.
    Wie dort die Ausbildung aussah, dass muß man einfach sehen. Es herrschte eine ziemlich lockere Klima, etwas Drogen (nicht zu viel, nicht zu stark), alle langhaarig, alle irgendwie meschugge.
    Lyn ist anscheinend Naturtalent, er kann z.B. den Versteck einer Geisel in Italien visualisieren. Aber, die schönen Zeiten waren vorbei, als zu der Gruppe Larry Hooper kam, der nur auf seine Erfolge wartete. Am Ende war es aus mit der Gruppe/Truppe.

    Bob erfährt, dass Lyn eine "Botschaft" von Bill bekommen hat. Er wartet auf ihn im Irak.
    Fast verloren in der Wüste sieht Bob eine Ziege. Das muß eine Bedeutung haben. Und wirklich - sie finden einen Lager, in dem jetzt der Fiesling Hooper das Kommando hat. Bill ist auch da, etwas angeschlagen vom Alkohol und Drogen, aber noch im Form.
    Die Freude über das Treffen alter Freunde ist nur bei Lyn und Bill groß. Und die haben eine Mission. Hooper soll diesmal für seine Misetaten bezahlen.
    Es gelingt ihnen mit LSD alle Soldaten im Lager zu benebeln. Und ihren Weggang perfekt zu inszinieren.
    Bob soll bleiben und über die Jedi Krieger schreiben.
    Das tut er auch. Nur glaubt ihm keiner. Ziegen hipnotisieren? Nur den Teil, dass die Gefangene Märchen hören mußten, das findet die Öffentlichkeit super. Ist ja gut für die Soldaten! Trotzdem ist Bob jetzt ein richtiger Journalist, seine Frau will er nicht mehr zurück, er arbeitet weiter an der Aufklärung der "mystischen" Truppe.

    Der Film ist wirklich so voll von Absurditäten, dass man manchmal glaubt, man sieht Monty Python's Filme bzw. Sketsche. Wieder andere Sachen, besonders die Kriegsschauplätze, können an M.A.S.H. herankommen.
    Über den Inhalt - was soll man dazu schreiben? Es ist crazy, aber schon so übertrieben, dass es wieder genial ist.
    Die Soldaten, die sich Blumen geben, die tanzen..., die Dialoge sind manchmal zum schreien komisch. Aber, hinten verbirgt sich auch die Wahrheit. Es ist Krieg, wir sind im Irak.

    Alle Achtung vor der Leistung der Schauspieler - Clooney, Bridges, McGregor (und auch Spacey - man muß bei der Leistung objektiv bleiben, alles, was man über ihn liest, ist traurig und schrecklich..., aber ich bewerte den Film, den Menschen, den...).
    Chapeau für soviel Mut - einen Film zu machen, den eigentlich keiner braucht, aber, glauben Sie mir, nach einiger Zeit merkt man - sowas muß man auch ein oder zwei Mal sehen.
    Empfehlung, aber nicht böse sein, ausschalten geht immer.
