この映画について

It happens with startling swiftness and violence. An armed cadre seizes state control. Fortunately, a coup d'etat can't happen here. Or can it? A classic of suspense directed by John Frankenheimer, Seven Days in May tautly explores that possibility. At odds are a popular general and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman and an unpopular President with a pacifist agenda. At stake is the survival of the Republic. A vigilant colonel uncovers the scheme. But are the seven fateful days ahead enough time to derail a takeover? The clock is ticking.

評価とレビュー

A riveting movie with expressive dialogue and every scene essential. And its topic is relevant a half century later now in 2020: Russia has just attacked the U.S.A. on our own soil by infiltrating our federal government computer systems, in 2016 through cyberattacks installed a treasonous U.S. President who tired to stay in power after losing the 2020 democratic election by strong-arming legislatures and the courts, and the U.S. is wrestling with an Iran nuclear treaty with hawks demanding military action and doves beseeching negotiations. Wow.

Real good movie one of the best I have ever seen.

Still possible here today, as a civil war is boiling between the left and right wings in today's news!
