Syriana, the power of oil and its mysteries

Syriana

Syriana is a movie that shows the relationships between the oil companies, the governments in the Middle East that produce oil and the government of the United States as well.

It takes different people and different relations, some people working as undercover agents, other working broadcasting the movements of the market and analyzing it, other as migrant workers for the oil companies, others as chiefs of the companies, others as royalty members… and so goes the list on.

With it we see the power and the influence of geopolitics in today’s world. And how connected we all are, especially through a basic element as oil. Showing that one move hear affects something here and there… it goes like a domino effect.

The movie also gives importance to the interaction of the different cultures and makes you think more about everyone’s differences.

t is also interesting to see the corruption and the games of power in the Middle East and the States.

Somehow, it draws a better idea of situations we know are happening there but it makes us a clearer idea and makes a nice connection of the connections around the world.
