Can you imagine a pilot who worked for TWA and then ran narcotics, aided and abetted by Pablo Escobar, for whose justice he then transported it? Well, that is what happened to Barry Seal. The wild version of what happened to him is depicted in the Tom Cruise film “American Made.” However, to what extent is it truth? Here we see the origins of this movie, based on real events. We will try to figure out what is really there and what is just an illusion and why it’s interesting all over again.
The Real Barry Seal: From Airman to Drug Trafficker
Barry Seal’s life story was like no other, a journey. From piloting planes abroad to dealing with the issue of running variety of illicit drugs amids different regions was what he did. How would an accomplished pilot find themselves helping the Medellín Cartel in a foreign region? It is a story of dreams and hopes, financial greed and activities that include dangers.
Early Life and Career as a Pilot
Flying came naturally to Seal. In his early years of life, he was already training to be a pilot and in no time, he was done with the training and was piloting flights successfully. However, before he began working on the wrong side he was a TWA pilot with a record of good behavior meaning that he necessarily had a good job. Quite a few people would say that he worked at the very best abilities of any commercial airline pilot. This was further seen in his level of skill.
The Lure of Easy Money: Joining in the Mafia
Well, the 70s and 80s were a period with more than sufficient financial resources. So, drug dealing became an attractive business for Seal. People usually cite that economic history tends to follow the notion that high risks are associated with equally high payoffs. When the deal is too good to pass, they always make it. He started to fly drugs from South America to the USA. And this act changed all the good things that had been there.
Allying with Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel
Seal was introduced to Escobar. Seal found himself quite compatible with the Medellín Cartel, of which Escobar was the leader. Soon it was not just Seal alone, he was escorting large amounts of cocaine. He was trusted by Escobar and the rest of the cartel executives. He was their hand-in aerial combat strategist.
American made: Real vs. Reel.
The movie \”American Made\” changes the sequence of events as it relates to their narration of events. Primarily it is a work of Hollywood first and reality second and so it becomes very important to separate the truth from the pleasure. How about we talk about what happened in the film?
Key Plot Points: Diligence and Blowing out of proportion
The display shows the smuggling of Seal as well as the DEA interventions, however there is a lot of violence. While some scenes were purely fiction. For instance they suggest that Seal educated the Contras which is quite farfetched. The character of ‘Barry’ may very well bring the narrative in the theater to a standstill until attention is redirected to the movie. It is an enjoyable movie but it is not a documentary.
Treatment of Major Characters: Seal, Escobar, et al.
Tom Cruise as Seal is a charismatically good buy. Escobar is portrayed as tough and a leader, but who is also quite charming. No traits of these people get showcased other than being binary characters. These were very interesting people, but utterly unpredictable.
Hollywood’s Yao: Glamour or Truth?
In the entertainment industry, stories often don’t equate to the real scenarios and this is referred to as the Joseph Campbell approach. The movie Safari may have gone off track but can clearly be understood to be more justified when compared to Ponyo. He was illustrated by the filmmakers as a happy-go-lucky soul, but a druglord at the same time. That is more enjoyable, compared to political and historical biographies. But at the same time, they strive to output popular movies, so some events were simplified.
Living Dangerously: Smiley’s People\’s: Illicit Drugs Transport Vs. D.E.A Agents’ Profession
Seal’s life gets even crazier. He was brought up on smuggling every possible substance and stayed there for a considerable time. However, the story takes a U-turn when he switches pipes and starts riding with the D.E.A. He got involved in identifying the Medellín Cartel, helping them get to the upper echelon. A game that was played then was a dangerous one. The cure was beneficial to one party and lethal to the other.
Becoming an Agent: Doing Business with the Evil
Facing the prosecution he had started running from, seal opted to make an agreement. He would help the DEA in busting the drug lords less they executed the full sentence. In any case, in some quarters, this kind of an agreement was frowned upon. How was it possible to collaborate with the very authorities who were pursuing x ya? Such a decision was fatal as he was caught in a crossfire of contention between both parties.
Operation Cocked Up – The CIA Deal
He pretty much morped into the DEA with those very same operations into the CIA when he became involved in the Iran-Contra Affair-huh. This affair was shrouded in mystery ways to make funds readily available to the anti-Communist Nicaraguan rebels. The added persona hit the already overloaded range of his life, which is madness.
Risks and Rewards: Juggling Two Worlds
Barry Seal walked a tightrope. Actually a wrong move cost so much. He had to have it balanced between what the cartel wanted and what the DEA required from him. He made money, alright but at too high a cost. Risk eventually outweighed the reward.
The Downfall: Arrest, Trial, Assassination
His double life was bound to cause his downfall one day. His capture and indictment had to be in time. The Medellín Cartel equated him to death. Without a doubt, he was headed for a terrible finale.
Inquiry and Arrest: Walls Close In
His works was now exposed by the authorities. He had been seriously charged for dealing drugs. He could no more keep off the radar forever. Walls were closing in on the man.
A Price on his Head: Medellín Wrath
The cartel and Escobar felt – directly betrayed. It was utter insulting to both of them. A hit was placed on his head by the cartel. He exactly knew the fact that he was’t very safe though he had ended up making very tough rivals on his own life.
The Assassination: Justice or Revenge?
He had without doubt become history by being gunned down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1986. The gunmen the cartel hired shot him down. It was not about justice but plain revenge My death probably served end to a life that was far-fetched but true.
Barry Seal: Legacy-Any Truth, Any Lies, or Movies?
Barry Seal lives a mixed legacy. Was he a hero, a villain, or, even worse, just a pawn tossed around by fate? American Made, in which his history is largely brought to light, also kind of blurs the lines a bit between truth and fib.
