this movie present the detail of the incident at roswell very accurately in accordance with the book publish on the event . whilst the movie obviously portray the incident to be the crash of an alien craft in new mexico in 1947 and the scene in which martin sheen and kyle maclachlan meet in the hangar i believe give the viewer the opportunity to make up their own mind about that incident and other u. f. o. sighting in general . whilst much of the movie revolve around jesse marcel and the government effort to make him look like a fool and and the subsequent cover ups and i felt the viewer be give the chance to understand why such an issue would have to be hide from the general public . i believe the producer and director be smart to avoid the over the top and cliché and tacky hollywood conspiracy theory theme . whilst the movie be base on the event at roswell in 1947 some scene that have be dramatise for the purpose of the movie be wonderfully incorporate to allow the viewer the opportunity to understand why the government would hide such an event . in particular and the scene in which a secret government committee have be set up to investigate the incident and the round table discussion that take place . the dialogue such a and be here to ensure domestic tranquility and not eliminate it and what of our religious institution and and what if this be to all come out and what be people go to believe give the viewer an understanding for why the government would shield u from such information . the war of the world radio broadcast in 1939 demonstrate how feeble mind the human race be to the possibility that we be not alone . if suddenly we be tell that yes there be a crash of an alien spacecraft in new mexico in 1947 then the world would go into a frenzy . the belief of an overwhelming percentage of the world population and in particular religious institution who be of the view we be the sole occupant of this enormous universe and would be instantly prove wrong . to tell such a large number of people that what they have believe their whole life be completely inaccurate would have devastate consequence . the government have to protect the majority of it people from themselves . therefore the information need to be leak slowly to allow people the chance to make up their own mind over a long period of time . that and in my view and be what be happen . a wonderful movie perfectly produce that have not be give the full credit it deserve . the movie be not for those with a simple and uncomplicated mind however . you need to be able to think in a complex manner . try watch it with an unbiased view on the event and see what you believe afterwards . some who have criticise the movie and in particular student from melbourne and might be good advise to ask their teacher to try movie such a high school high and down periscope or date movie to good evaluate how a movie should not be make . every movie make can have the s # t pick out of it if you be watch it to do such . roswell be essential view on more than one occasion .
