I've watched Syriana four times and haven't gotten what's going on in this movie, Jesus I'm not that stupid I like politics/war/CIA movies, specially movies about Middle East conflict, and Homeland is one of my favorite serie, but this Syriana is just too confusing for me, I can't get it at all. it's frustrating!

Anwar, just want to say you did an AMAZING job explaining the plot - it's the first time I've been able to really understand what goes on!
Thank you, Roberta
Very well done, thank you!
shareEpic FAQ, just brilliant.
You can knock on Ed Wood but it won't do you no good 'cause all of my heroes are dead in Hollywood
Thanks @dalati http://www.imdb.com/user/ur4809582/ for the incredible FAQ! It really helped to explain what the movie was really about and how the stories break down and fit together.
shareYou're welcome. If you have any further questions you can post them here, but I have to say it's 8 years since I saw the movie now.
Maybe there'll be a ten year anniversary disc next year. With all the thanks and praise I have been getting I might cave in and buy it.

Excellent breakdown, Anwar. Succinct and to the point.
Back off! ... Way off!
Thank you so much. I saw the film on TV this afternoon, missed the first hour, thought it was brilliant. While I was able to enjoy the story, I did need to have it all spelled out.
shareDude that FAQ is epic!! Exactly what I came here for and it was perfectly accessible. Thank you very very much. I'm gonna go watch my Syriana blu-ray!!!
shareIf we need a faq to understand a movie, something is wrong with the movie. You're not alone there, Syriana just didn't have the way to tell it's story without confusing the viewer.
shareFrankly, I have seen it multiple times and it was confusing to me also. I only watched it again today because I finally found out about the writer from watching the. Military Channel (now called American Heroes Channel). I hoped to better understand it, given the man's life in the Cia
sharePlease forgive my typos. I am using my Kindle Fire for the first time and it doesn't seem to have an edit function or preview capacity that I can find.
shareBy my third viewing I began to understand the film. Plus dalati and MomentaryParticle are very helpful in deciphering this film.
