Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“This is a very detailed description of how Steve Rogers essentially failed in his mission. He thought he died to destroy HYDRA, but HYDRA did so much better after he had left than before.”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“This is another moment where Redford really makes the villain human, he’s got a point. That’s the thing: authoritarianism is rearing its head again. The movie tests philosophy. He’s a bureaucrat who is not much further than the bureaucrats we’ve all come to know in our lives. His thinking is just an extrapolation of a kill list, which is if there are ten individuals deemed dangerous do you have the right to kill them? What if there’s a thousand? Well, what if there’s ten thousand or if there’s a million? At what point, if we can effectively psychologically profile people, then we have one? And what are the constraints of that profile? Where do you draw the line?”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“This is a critical moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is when SHIELD turns bad. In one scene you realize that something is going on on a much deeper level than anybody is aware of and clearly that the enemy is within. And I think this [scene] was able to reflect the audience’s sense of tension and 8 movies of build up to this elevator sequence. I think that’s why this is such an effective sequence because you’re in the same place Cap is. You have all this historical information telling you that SHIELD is good. And in about 5 minutes you’re discovering that they’re rotten to the core.“

The unsung heroes.
That was one of the most horrifying, painful, beautiful parts of the movie. So many of them weren’t prepared, so many were administrators who had no clue that the STRIKE teams had turned, let alone that a killing machine like the Winter Soldier was on the loose.
So many of them died.
And yet none of them hesitated. Despite the propaganda Pierce had unleashed, despite their orders, despite everything, they still responded. Their sacrifice, their heroism – they gave the last full measure of devotion, and I can’t imagine that Steve wouldn’t attend the memorial service, even if he had to use a wheelchair or a cane because his own wounds hadn’t finished healing.
“Captain’s orders” indeed.
