Thirteen Days

Thirteen Days (2000)

Director: Roger Donaldson

March 27, 2020

★★★☆☆

I recently saw “Thirteen days”. It's based on the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 when nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union seemed likely. I was around ten when the Berlin Wall fell, which means I grew up seeing the improvement of relationships between the two nations. So I was able to learn a lot from the movie. 

During that time, the Soviet Union had secretly installed missile sites in Cuba to provide as a defense against US attack to the Soviet Union. To halt this military buildup, the U.S. agreed not to invade Cuba again. Also, they promised to remove their missiles from Turkey. The Soviet Union was successful in the negotiations, but I was impressed with the decision the Kennedy administration made. I was especially impressed with the president who remained cool under pressure and attempted to keep the world at peace.

It seems that the movie portrays Kenneth O’Donnell, the closest aide to John Kennedy, as a more important figure than Robert Kennedy, Secretary of Defense and other members of ExComm. Probably, he didn’t have a main role in handling the crisis, but I think he was definitely one of the key persons who contributed to defuse the crisis. I’m overwhelmed just imagining how much work O’Donnell had to do behind the scenes, especially information control.

My favorite place to be. 💕 I had no idea the first time we stopped in Key West I would love it so much. I was actually mad we were “waisting” part of our Caribbean vacay there. The joke was on me because it’s all the island vibes && your cell phone works. #takemethere #thirteendays . . . #livingthekeptlife #thekeptwife #keywestflorida #floridakeys #keywest #myhappyplace #insearchofjoy #paradise🌴 (at The Reach Key West - A Waldorf Astoria Resort) https://www.instagram.com/livingthekeptlife/p/Bw-bsUkHYzT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w7xmhsxha5ea
