Thirteen Days
The Role: Kenny O'Donnell, adviser to JFK.
The Movie: The intense behind-the-scenes struggle of the White House staff during the Cuban Missile Crisis finds Russia and the United States getting precariously close to nuclear war and the diplomats involved getting ulcers.
The Subtext: The Cold War was a simpler time: a time when two high-level diplomats would play complex mind games with one another while sipping coffee; a time when a president and his advisers could stand and stare pensively into the distance for hours at a time, quietly pondering their next move.
