‘The Covenant’ follows a soldier and an interpreter who form a unique bond during the Afghanistan War in Guy Ritchie’s ew film.
“Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant” stays with you long after the last frame.Its star, Jake Gyllenhaal, says it’s just that kind of movie. The Oscar nominee is convinced that the R-rated “Covenant,” opening April 21 in area theaters, succeeds as both edge-of-the-seat entertainment and a potent parable about the core values — integrity, valor and a dogged desire to do the right thing — that are the essence of the American ideal.
Back in the United States, Kinley struggles with the loss of his troops in that 2018 ordeal ad well as his need to repay the debt he owes his savior, Ahmed — who lugged the wounded soldier’s body over miles of hostile Taliban-infested terrain. Ahmed’s heroics have put a target on his and his family’s backs, propelling Kinley to take action to cut through the red tape preventing Ahmed from getting to the United States.
Ritchie and co-screenwriters Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies did extensive research to create the fictional composites of the two central characters and learned of the risks that interpreters take .Jake Gyllenhaal is an Afghanistan War soldier and Dar Salim is his interpreter n “The Covenant.” “One of my favorite lines in the movie is ‘You’re here to translate.’ : ‘No I’m here to interpret.’ I think understanding the culture, understanding the behavior is what interpreters really do, and in that way they are invaluable and continue to be.”
