Bridge of Spies: Spielberg and the Coen Brothers Punch Up History

[Phil Dagosto]

I have to agree with Jim's critique, particularly the problems with the timelines. I don't recall seeing a graphic on the screen telling us that it was 1960 when Powers was shot down or when his trial took place. The movie seemed to jump from the late fifties to the early sixties where Powers was concerned. Was there even a mention of the effect on the summit meeting?

I guess we won't be seeing "The book of the film" for this one like we did for JFK.
