"“In this world you don’t get to live free without working for it,” a SEAL team member called Cherry (Anson Mount) says in a creamy country-western baritone. “You gotta earn it every day, and that day we did.” “SEAL Team Six” is a fictionalized account of the real-life operation to track down Osama bin Laden, but it looks a lot like a Republican recruitment film written by Dick Cheney.
The only problem is that the president who ordered the daring manhunt is Barack Obama.
So conservatives have every reason to be irked by the message and timing of “SEAL Team Six,” which tells the story in a fake-documentary style and is scheduled to be shown on the National Geographic Channel on Sunday night, two days before the election. (It will also be available on Netflix, beginning on Monday.)
Harvey Weinstein, one of Mr. Obama’s most loyal Hollywood backers, is an executive producer, and the film uses real-life footage of the president alongside make-believe dialogue, gritty battle scenes and archival clips of Sept. 11 and other terrorist attacks. It’s an ode to presidential resolve, wrapped in a thick layer of Special Forces derring-do that is so red, white and blue it would make Karl Rove blush.
