MASONIC CONNECTIONS WITH THE CIA???

The Good Shepherd is an Academy Award -nominated 2006 film

directed by Robert De Niro (his second directorial effort after A Bronx

Tale ) and starring Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie , with an extensive

supporting cast. The film was rated "R" for "some violence, sexuality and

language" by the MPAA . Although it is a fictional film loosely based on real

events, it is advertised as telling the untold story of the birth of counter-

intelligence in the Central Intelligence Agency . It is a Morgan

Creek Productions film distributed by Universal Pictures . The film's

main character, Edward Wilson (played by Damon), is loosely based in part

on James Jesus Angleton and Richard M. Bissell, Jr. . General Bill

Sullivan, (played by DeNiro) is loosely based on Colonel William Joseph

Donovan

The movie begins in 1961 with Edward Wilson ( Matt Damon ) commuting

to work. A young boy approaches him and asks for change for his dollar.

Arriving at work he uses the serial number from the dollar to decipher a

message, which sets the tone for the rest of the film.

The stage is set for the main plot of the movie which begins with the failure

of the Bay of Pigs Invasion due to an informer or leak of some kind.

Later, a photograph and a recording on reel to reel tape are dropped off

anonymously to Edward.

The narrative cuts to one of the many flashbacks of Edward's life, this time

to 1939 , where he is attending the then all-male Yale College of [Yale

University|Yale]] and is asked to join Skull and Bones , a secretive Yale

society, one of whose principal purposes is to create a bond among future

leaders of the United States trained at Yale. During an initiation ritual he

talks about witnessing his father ( Timothy Hutton ) commit suicide as a

young boy and hiding the suicide note from his family.

The narrative also introduces Edward's poetry professor Dr. Fredericks

( Michael Gambon ), who reads a poem that he says he is having trouble

finishing, and Laura ( Tammy Blanchard ), a deaf student (presumably

enrolled at one of the specialized schools of Yale that accepted female

students) whom Edward starts dating after meeting her in the library.

Fredericks makes subtle sexual advances on Wilson, which Wilson ignores;

Wilson is recruited by an FBI agent, Sam Murach ( Alec Baldwin ) , to find

out who Frederick's associates are in his pro-German groups, which Murach

believes are a cover for a Nazi spy ring--not knowing that Fredericks in

reality is infiltrating Nazi activities for the U.S. government. Wilson does so,

and justifies it to Fredericks based on the fact that the poem was plagiarized,

and so Fredericks betrayed him first.

Edward attends a Skull & Bones retreat on Deer Island in 1940 and meets

Clover ( Angelina Jolie ) and General Bill Sullivan ( Robert DeNiro ), a

powerful military intelligence official. Sullivan asks him to join the Office

of Strategic Services and offers him a post in London . Clover seduces

him.

Clover becomes pregnant, and, although Edward is in love with another

woman (Laura), he feels compelled to marry her. During the reception, a

man in uniform comes to see Edward and asks if he is still interested in

seeing the world. He accepts and tells his new wife that he is to be sent off to

England in one week, where he spends the next six years. He meets with

British intelligence Officer Arch Cummings ( Billy Crudup ) and Richard

Hayes ( Lee Pace ), and also Fredericks his old poetry professor who he

now finds is not only a member of OSS but is also assigned to tutor him in

espionage. Ironically, Fredericks' German-American Bund activities were an

undercover operation of the British government to infiltrate Nazi

organizations, which Edward and the FBI had ruined.

The timeline then moves to post-war Berlin, whose ruins are well depicted.

Both the Americans and the Soviets are trying to gather as many German

scientists as possible. At an old bombed-out church, Edward meets his

Soviet counterpart, codenamed "Ulysses." Ulysses informs Edward that

Edward's Russian codename is "Mother" and lauds Edward as a formidable

adversary.

Edward is shown interviewing potential German informants with the aid of a

female German translator. This translator, who comes into daily contact with

the most secret American actions in occupied Berlin, wears what appears to

be a hearing aid device. It seems to intrigue Edward (and, perhaps, reminds

him of Laura.

The translator later cooks for Edward and the two have a sexual encounter.

Edward notices that the translator has removed her hearing aid and appears

to hear well without it; it appears to be some sort of spy device. She has been

a Soviet spy in the heart of OSS activities in Germany. The next scene

shows the German translator being shot, with no indication of who is

responsible for the shooting. But Ulysses finds the presumed hearing aid

inside his teapot, an apparent gift from the OSS. It is one of the sequence of

deaths that Edward will be responsible for in the film.

Edward returns home and meets his son, Edward Jr., for the first time. His

OSS duties have kept Edward out of the United States for six years, one of

the unlikely elements of the film. He gives him a ship he made and put in

what looks like a glass watch casing. His wife informs him that she no

longer goes by "Clover" and is now Margaret. She further asks that the two

sleep in separate beds until they get to know one another again. Margaret

informs Edward that her brother and his fellow Skull and Bones member,

John. was killed in Burma in 1944. Both Margaret and Edward

acknowledge that they have engaged in infidelity during their long

separation. Sullivan approaches him to help form a foreign intelligence

organization and wants Edward to work with Hayes and under Allen.

As life continues, his son grows up and his relationship with his wife

continues to grow more distant. When his wife has friends over for dinner,

they ask if he really works for the CIA. Edward replies that his wife has a

"vivid imagination" and that he is just a civil servant at the trade office.

Edward then is given an assignment to interview Valentin, a Russian

requesting asylum and claiming to be a high ranking official who knows

Edward's counterpart in the Soviet government, Ulysses. Edward attends a

production of The Cherry Orchard with Valentin, who claims it is a bad

translation. At the theater Edward encounters Laura, his college sweetheart,

who has remained single "with a cat." Laura admits to dreaming of what

their lives would have been like together; Edward would, she thinks, have

taught at a small liberal-arts college in a college town. The contrast between

his OSS/CIA life and the professorial life causes Edward momentarily to

wince. They return to her house and end up sleeping together.

Soon after, however, Clover is sent pictures depicting Laura and Edward

during their romantic encounters. Clover loudly interrupts a S & B party and

throws the pictures at Edward. Edward breaks a date with Laura by sending

his assistant to return a cross he'd kept of hers when they were college

sweethearts. This act perhaps confirms that he reciprocated her strong

feelings for him which have remained over the years, yet may suggest their

continued separation is a cross they must bear. It also signifies that Edward's

work for the most secret agency in the United States is causing him to lose

his soul.

Edward visits Edward, Jr. at Yale, where he has also become tapped by

Skull and Bones. He tells his father he has been approached by the CIA and

that he wants to sign up. Edward tells his son it's a difficult life and tries to

talk him out of it--something Margaret tearfully urges him to do. But

Edward, Jr., who throughout the film is concerned with becoming closer to

the father he did not know for the first six years of his life, is adamant.

Edward and Margaret argue over the issue, adding to their highly conflicted

relationship. During the argument, Edward reveals that his son was the only

reason why they had married. Edward Jr. joins the CIA after Edward refuses

Margaret's request to have his application denied. At yet another S&B party

on Deer Island we learn that Margaret's father (a US Senator) has died and

that Margaret is going to Arizona to live with her mother. During this same

S & B party, Edward has a discussion with Hayes regarding the upcoming

Bay of Pigs Invasion. Edward Jr. overhears the discussion, and Edward tells

him that he cannot repeat what he overheard to anyone.

Time passes. After analyzing the photograph and tape that had been dropped

off anonymously at Edward's house earlier in the movie, the CIA officials

make a number of findings. The photo depicts a Caucasian man and an

African woman. They can deduce that there are three church belfries, the

ceiling fan is of Belgian origin, the window curtains have a baobab tree

design and the design of the stone balustrade on the balcony. They are

unable to identify a blurred item on the nightstand which they feel might be

significant. Over time they discern more details from the audio tape. They

distinguish church bells, a plane flying overhead, the woman's French

accent, and the use of "cochinos", the Spanish word for "pigs". They also

determine that the track has been tampered with to make some of the

dialogue indiscernible. From these clues, they figure it is possible for the

photo to have been taken in three places, all in Africa, one of those places

being Leopoldville , in the Congo .

Edward goes to the Congo and tracks down the room. Edward realizes it is

Edward, Jr. who is in the film because the object they couldn't identify was a
