    The foresight of politics in film and television dramas is like a prophecy. Every artist has his own interpretation of the current situation. It is rare to have such a story that gives people both a sense of reality and drama. The interpretation of the cast is actually a sufficient guarantee for the viewing of the film. At the same time, there are many scenes in the film that draw on news and documentary footage to use their lens language to make strong annotations for the views expressed by...

    The 1998 movie, set in Brooklyn, New York, is under martial law because of terrorist attacks. This proposition is quite attractive! The performance of the three powerful factions in the American film industry, I personally think that Denzel Washington's acting skills are slightly better! The director did not respond to the root cause of terror, but condemned terrorism in a stereotyped manner, and made deep concerns about the security of American society at that time. The funny thing is that a...

    Given the timing, here's a preview of the 911. But the logic in it is a little bit not afraid of making things bigger. I watched this film twice when I was in school, and I wonder why I only remembered it...

    7/10. Just as the informant and boyfriend of the female agent said that his younger brother suffered from extreme ideological brains after having sex in the hotel, the most terrifying villain will strategize every action to let the masses stir up trouble, and the guardians will flood up before the previous batch is eliminated. By swallowing it up, the disaster in the American city center, New York, which symbolizes the prosperity and humanity of the United States, suffers. The scene of the...

    A film full of contradictions

    Terrorists detonated a bomb in the underground garage of the World Trade Center in the United States. How to protect the safety of residents has become a problem for the US government. The story begins with an FBI special officer, a CIA investigator, and a U.S. Army general all swearing at the same...

    It turns out that this movie had predicted the "September 11 Incident" a long time ago.

    "Today's bombing incident has caused a great blow to the US troops stationed abroad..." With the standard American broadcast accent, what lit up on the black screen was the bombed barracks. The empty building remains with no traces of life, and the red and blue lines of the low-resolution TV images...

The Siege quotes

  • Sharon Bridger: I ran the network in Iraq for two years. Samir recruited them from among the Sheik's followers and I trained them in the north. The Sheik was going to help us overthrow Saddam, I mean, he was our ally. We were financing him. Then there was a policy shift. It's not like we sold them out exactly, we just stopped helping them.

    [pause]

    Sharon Bridger: They were slaughtered.

    [pause]

    Sharon Bridger: So I uh, quit the operation. I took another assignment.

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: But you helped them first.

    Sharon Bridger: What do you mean?

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: You said they were being slaughtered, they needed to get out, they were on the terrorist watch list, so you got them visas, you and Samir.

    Sharon Bridger: I promised them we would take care of them, they were working for us!

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: Doing what, exactly?

    Sharon Bridger: I told you!

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: No you didn't. You told me that you trained them. Tradecrafts, subversion. That's what you said, wasn't it? You're leaving something out, aren't you, Sharon? You taught them how to make bombs. That's why you were looking for the wiring signatures on that blue bus. And now they're here, doing what you taught them how to do. Right?

    Sharon Bridger: You've got to let me... make this right! Please?

  • General William Devereaux: [announcing the declaration of martial law in Brooklyn] Good morning. Today with the invocation of the War Powers Act by the President, I am declaring state of martial law in this city. To the best of our knowledge we are opposed by no more than 20 of the enemy. He is hiding among a population of roughly two million. Intelligence tells us that he is most likely Arab speaking, between the age of 14 and 30, narrowing the target to 15,000 suspects. We can further reduce that number down to those that have been in this country less than six months. Now you have 20 hiding among 2,000. If you are one of these 20 young men, you can hide among a population of similar ethnic background. Unfortunately for you, you can only hide there. And that population, in the classic immigration pattern, is concentrated right here in Brooklyn. We intend to seal off this borough, then we intend to squeeze it. This is the land of opportunity, gentlemen - the opportunity to turn yourselves in. After sundown tonight, any young man fitting the profile I described who is not cooperating will be arrested and detained. There is historically nothing more corrosive to the morale of a population than policing its own citizens, but the enemy would be sadly mistaken if they were to doubt our resolve. They are now face-to-face with the most fearsome military machine in the history of man, and I intend to use it and be back on base in time for the playoffs. Thank you for your time.
