Greatornot This movie was exceptional. I do believe that it was a fair film. It did point out , constitutional violations from past times in our history. This movie was not out to attack GWB. The parallel story was right on the money. Unlike some other people. I did have sympathy for both characters. The illustration basically brought out the naivety of the average American , thinking these things can not happen in our homeland. Where as the stories were parallel to a tee on purpose. It brought out the point that vogue leadership is real and perhaps a perception at the same time. I liked that they pointed out other people looking at us from thousands of miles away , do not see us as a democracy. Very intelligent film . One very important fact though , is that in our nation there is the freedom to air this film where as in China there is not.
pgamble-3 HiLoved this movie - very thought provoking - saw it two days ago and its been going around and around in my mind.I loved the fact that both scenarios used the same dialogue and the dailogue in both sceanrios fitted perfectly.One thing I don't understand and maybe someone can clear this up for me. At the end the girl confesses while the man doesn't - also at the end the Chinese interrogator is highly praised by his supervisor while the American interrogator goes home - quite unnoticed by anyone. Also the look on Glenn Close's face suggests she hated being a part of the process. I'm just wondering what this signifies - does it mean that these practices are done in the US but reluctantly whilst in china this practice is not made a secret? Any thoughts on this I'd love to hear as the end I think is very crucial cause at this point both stories end up taking very different paths. Also love to hear anyone's comments on what they think would happen next to the girl and the guy.Thanks Patrick
huskiehombre66 It makes you think what do you care more about, is national security really important if it costs us our personal freedom. This is why we left England people! This is why America is such a great country, everyone is individually represented. This constitution was designed to protect everyone as an individual, not to protect the society. It's in the bill of rights and the constitution, their really shouldn't be this much argument about it. Republicans, and claimed "patriots" ideas are violating the constitution much more than said "radical" liberals do, we fight for the people, which is what this country is based on in the first place. Anyway, watch it if its on, think about this as you watch it, and the next time you vote.
ripcord76 This piece of garbage is terrible, I mean horrible. This is one of the worst pieces of trash ever. I cant believe such good actors felt they needed to be in this, the paycheck couldnt be worth it, its a made for tv movie for gods sake.Its about some interrogations of 2 students. The writing here is painfull to listen to. There is no reason for this to exist. It tries to make a point and fails misserably. It crashes and burns like only so few can. I just finished watching it and frankly I'm kinda ticked off at the hour of my life I lost.If Strip Search happens to be on when your flipping the channels. Search for something better.
