The Middle East is a very complex place, and the work of espionage is very special. The usual inconspicuous actions have extraordinary meanings. There are too many involved and too many benefits. The needs and losses are different for each.
I can’t understand this movie after watching it once, and it’s hard to say whether I can fully understand it after watching it a second time, but I refuse to watch it a second time because it’s not because of my high IQ that I can understand it once, but because I’m impatient to watch this kind of movie for the second time. , it seems enough to understand.
For this movie, it's enough to know a little bit, and it's enough to know about the Middle East, spies, and disputes between various parties. Why do you have to understand one reason?

    Complicated political film, you can't understand it without reading the background

    In any case, the Tower of Babel will not fall, even if we have already gotten to know each other. Movies that reshaped my worldview.

Syriana quotes

  • Jimmy Pope: No, I wanna talk about the Gulf and how a goddamn Emir... What is an Emir, anyway?

    Tommy Barton: King, it's a king.

    Jimmy Pope: Well, how some Podunk king tossed you out on your ass! Every company in the world wanted into Kazakhstan, into the Tengiz, but Killen got it. And then Connex wanted Killen, and here we are. I made investments. Investments that'll bear fruit for this company. Hell, Tommy we've all got the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act committed to memory. I got a little copy of it taped to the wall of my head. Right here.

  • Stan: I like consulting. No, I love it. Love it. And I'll say this for it: "Private business is efficient." There, I've said it. Fucking cliché. And the CIA is like, what, a 30-billion-dollar-a-year business, so anybody who wants to sell anything, a pencil, a computer, they gotta interface through a security clearance. Don't give me shit. I got two kids in college and we're doing our kitchen.

    Bob Barnes: Stan, I got a chance to go back to Beirut. I wanna go back. Is it safe for me?

    Stan: Are we talking about with your wife or with the wackos?

    [long pause]

    Stan: Clear it with Hezbollah.
