"That's Female Number Three" | Zero Dark Thirty

[@iDropPhats]

One thing that this movie did incredibly well (massive hats off to the actors) was translate a sense of restricted urgency, stress, and tension. You could feel the pure frustration and effort to make the mission through the screen, it’s a very rare thing for a movie to make you feel like that.

[@pb.j.1753]

I think the writing, directing and editing also played a big part into creating that atmosphere.

Funny thing, the actor Stephen Dillane played a CIA man in the movie "Spy Game" with Brad Pitt and Robert Redford back in 2001, and now he's in a similar senior role - just a different film.

[@KallegrandStudios]

So, I'm not too much into the whole cultural picture in this part of the world; that's where I need someone with more expertise to answer my following question. Why would a 3rd female be certainty that there would be a 3rd male? Now yes, I heard that they said in the clip that a male is assisted by a female usually. But I'd be raising some red flags in that briefing room if an assessment on the location of an individual was based off exclusively on the fact that there was, what appeared to be, likely an extra adult-age women in a compound. Ever heard of large families? They have kids, it could be an un-married late-teen female, just living with mom and dad. Just as much as some of us in the "wEsTeRn" world still have kids who live with their parents at the age of 25, I wouldn't be surprised if this extra female could just be another daughter.

[@vostok8589]

My first thought was that it was a second wife.

[@cmleoj]

Or a widow. Pakistan is rough country; I bet there’s a lot of widows over there.

[@oahuhawaii2141]

The dialogue is clear. They knew of a 6th person, who was confirmed by thermal imaging of the compound, but lacked info on the gender. #6 lived in the top floor, and never ventured out in the open, and when outside, made sure to hide behind foliage. #6 is clearly a key person taking exacting steps to remain anonymous. Knowing 3 women, 2 men, and 1 unknown lives there, it makes sense that mysterious #6 is male to have 3 couples instead of 4 women and 2 men. In the real-life story, the team got an overhead image of #6, without firm details, except the shadow cast was of a person over 6 feet tall. There's little chance for #6 to be a woman.

[@MeerkatADV]

It was simplified for the movie. They had everyone but bin Laden identified by name before they launched the assault. They knew there was an extra male along with an extra family located at the house, nothing else made sense.
