Question about martial law and the movie "the siege"?

Since all teachers have different ways of torturing their students, I suggest you take your query and the answers you receive directly to the source.  Make your teacher EXPLAIN exactly what it is that they are expecting you to do.  To me "cleanup" would mean to rewrite it to benefit your original statement, but even that seems too bizarre for a solution to your problem.  Maybe it is the use of real & ficticious characters your teacher was making reference to.  Good luck, I'm probably NO help. Thanks for the brain teaser!

EnigmaticEncounter asked:  Why see humans killing each others on screen, for any possible reason?  Can't we leave in a state of peace and harmony?\n\n\nwell, personally, i would much rather have our society's emotions wounded by onscreen violence than have our society's children (for it is they who fight and die) wounded by real violence.  \n\ni believe that many people who are anti-war today are so because of the often graphic and disturbing depictions of war in film.  in the past, anti-war voices often came from those who had *been there*.  many war films of the last 30 years have tried to realistially portray modern mechanized warfare - fast, violent, arbitrary, and dehumanizing - and when successful, a film transports all of us there, into the middle of the horror.\n\nindeed, were it not for the peaceful voices among us, informed by film, we might be deeply involved in many disastrous conflicts, and many of us who are alive today might otherwise be dead or dying on a field in north korea.

GEE.... I wish I had Yahoo Answers to do my homework!!\nThey finally caught the guerrilla after the brutal attack.\nHe tried asking for amnesty, but that was not an option.\nAfter the reconciliation of the case, it was decided his fate.

PBS's Frontline did a 3 part series on this...\n\nI have mixed emotions and mixed opinions on what happened.\n\nYes, the Chinese government went overboard in killing so many innocent students and if you know what really happened, they weren't just students. The protests had grown to a point of attracting many many other types of ppl.\n\nNow with that said, I am going to make an extremely unpopular statement/opinion. I am a marxist at heart and have studied the writings of Lenin in depth. Lenin, while a pacifist, knew that there were times to be use force to control mutiny.\n\nLenin wrote about the ones that will try to overthrow the idealism of a fair and equal society... the ones that won't accept the weak having the same or the ones that won't accept a no class system.\n\nWhile I know this incident was not about that.. I do realize that this incident threatened the fairly new communist Chinese regime. I truly believe the Chinese regime would have been weakened had they given into the protesters due to the vast number and the length of the protest... not justifying the slaughter but saying I understand the stopping of the protest.\n\nIn that Frontline series, the Chinese government warned them.. gave them days to leave... they chose to stay. They chose their destiny.

are you referring to the city or the movie? since your question's in the movie category, i assume this is about the movie? the one starring eric bana? This movie attempts to illuminate both sides of Israel's conflict. While the focus is on Israeli actions and choices, Palestinian and Arab motivations are present throughout the work. For me, Speilberg's treatment of both sides was an attempt at balance. Neither side is commended or exaulted for their behavior. Instead, the film attempts to generally question the nature of their decisions and acts. \n\nIf this film does make any stance on Israel and Palestine, it makes a general condemnation of the violence on both sides. Speilberg goes through great lengths to show the cycle of violence - lamenting the perpetual loss of life in violent conflict.\n\nThe film's conclusion extends Speilberg's effort to question violence and its role in human affairs. The protagonist chooses against returning home - he lives in exile. The cycle of violence has taken a toll on him. \n\nI'm unclear in deciding whether the protagonist approves or condemns of his own choices. But I do believe that he realizes that violence is not a future solution. \n\nI think that this was a geniune attempt at thoughtful reflection of the consequences of violent conflict. For a mainstream movie, this had unusual depth. I felt that there was an honest attempt to depict both sides as human beings - with rational, legitmate values and motivations. \n\nI would encourage anyone to see this film. Audiences should try to analyze both the film's perspective and their our own beliefs on the real world content behind the work. Any film that can spark people to pose these serious questions deserves attention.

I liked that movie allot. It made me think about our crappy government. I know there are some honest, hardworking people in our gov. but they are few and far between. We (the people) have given the gov so much power over us. One day we will have no power to change government and we will be powerless to help ourselves. We have been giving the gov. more power for decades and it is happening so quietly that people don't realize it is happening. They start passing these little laws that do little things, this paves the way for the substantial laws that really give them more control in the future. We wont be able to fight against these laws because of the safe guards they have put in or are putting in today! Sorry to rant and rave but is everyone blind to this!!

Some of what is presented in "loose change" can be disputed to the point of possibly being coincidental or hear say.\n\nBut there are also things that are pointed out in the film that cannot be disputed, as it would violate the laws of physics for them to have occurred in the way that our government has led us to believe.\n\nI have been doing research on both sides of this issue and there are several items that violate physics.\n\n1. No mater how structurally compromised the struck floors were, the towers could not have fallen at free fall speed. This can only occur when there is no support anywhere under the falling structure.\n\n2. You cannot take out multiple light poles on the way into the pentagon with out leaving massive amounts of debris in the path from the poles knocking chunks out of the plane much less the flaming fuel spill it would have produced. The Boeing fuel tests proved that a plane hitting even a single light pole would rip the wing off creating a huge fireball immediately. There was no debris or scorch marks anywhere other than the scorch marks at the building itself.\n\nThe laws of physics do not conveniently change for anyone no matter how much rhetoric that people spew. We will probably never know the truth about who was responsible, but we do know that the story our government has fed us doesn't hold water.

uh oh ... i wish no one would've got me started on that!! See the following excerpts from a brilliant article written by one bright Dr. Kaveh Farrokh, courtesy of whom I am cutting and pasting the following from the ghandchi.com website. I would suggest anyone who's seen the movie to read the fuul article at http://www.ghandchi.com/iranscope/Anthology/KavehFarrokh/farrokh6.htm : \n\n\n"Despite excellent reviews of his book by critics and scholars, Dr. Fox does not understand the military of ancient Persia. A typographical shot of the battle of Gaugamela, shows the Greeks advancing in ordered and disciplined ranks. In contrast, the armies of Darius III are shown as little better than an amorphous mob. This is a false image of the Achaemenid army. The Achaemenids used drums and musical instruments to direct the marching tactics of their troops in battle. Second, the Achaemeneans used the decimal system, which was in fact, unknown to the Greeks of the period. Persian units were formed in legions of 10, 100 or 1000 or 10,000. A typical term was "Hezar-Patesh" (roughly equivalent to "leader of a thousand men"). \nIn addition, the Persians had developed a sophisticated system of heraldry and their troops wore standard uniforms. The Greeks were certainly excellent fighters and were thoroughly organized, but this does not mean that the Persians were not. At the time, the Greeks were militarily superior with respect to armaments, tactics and military training. \nThis military imbalance changed with the coming of the Parthian and Sassanian cavalry. The Iranian Savaran (elite Cavalry) successfully halted and defeated many of the later Greek-Hoplite inspired Roman armies. Many Romans attempted to imitate Alexander and failed against Persia. These include Marcus Lucinius Crassus at Carrhae, Marc Antony at Tabriz (where he failed twice), Gordian III at Mesiche, Phillip the Arab near modern Syria, Valerian at Barbablissos, and Julian the Apostate in Mesopotamia. I personally doubt that Hollywood will recreate these spectacular Roman defeats as these will challenge contemporary western notions of the Alexandrian legacy. In addition, many Iranians today are unaware of the proud legacy of the Parthian and Sassanian Savaran."\n...\n"The portrayal of ancient Iranians is outright comical, if not insulting.  The inaccurate Hollywood portrayal of Iranians is exemplified by the selection of Rosario Dawson ( http://www.lostfocus.de/archives/rosario_dawson.jpg ), a very talented, beautiful and intelligent black actress, to star as Roxanna, an ancient Iranian queen from Soghdia-Bactria. Roxanna was not black, anymore than Alexander was Scandinavian. Having Rosario Dawson portrayed as Roxanna makes as much sense as having Lucy Liu, an Asian-American, portraying Queen Victoria of Great Britain. \nThe term Roxanna is derived from Old Iranian "Rokh-shwan" or "face (Ruksh) - fair skinned-shiny (shwan)". Roxanna was related to a North Iranian tribe known later as the Sarmatians, the remnants who survive in the Caucasus and Russia as the Ossetians (ancient Alans or Ard-Alans) \nRoman sources such as Pliny repeatedly describe ancient North Iranian peoples such as the Alans and Seres as "…flaxen (blonde) haired blue eyed nomads…" (see Wilcox, p.19). Rosario Dawson does not fit the description of an ancient Iranian woman, especially from Northern Iranian stock. The Ossetians of today, descendants of ancient Northern Iranians, predominantly resemble northern Iranians and Europeans and speak an archaic Iranian language (like the Avesta of the Zoroastrians). Blondism is very common among these descendants of ancient North Iranians in cities such as Beslan and Vladikafkaz. It can be argued that Roxanna was a brunette, however, she was of Northern Iranian stock, which would still make her very different from actress Rosario Dawson. \nThere are plenty of talented actresses of Iranian descent i

give me a break.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nthere is actually no new deal being made.  The British comapany that already manages the ports is being bought out by a corporation owned primarily by citizens of the United Arab Emarites.  The question at hand is wether or not to try to get out of our contract.  Since the British company will still be managing our ports, there is no reason to suspect that a terrorist plot is going on.  Micheal Moore Edits Answers that he doesn't like from his films and usually slants what is included.  Maybe if you read somthing other than Liberal propaganda (including the textbooks found in public and some private schools) you would get the whole story.

I completely feel you on this...I've seen that movie myself, and a few others.  There are so many questions, I don't understand how people can just ignore it...and in fact get mad at you for questioning it!  Isn't that the point of democracy, being allowed to examine what's going on and make an educated decision?  Don't let the mean remarks that you will inevitably get bring you down...you are a thinker, and that is to be commended!\n\nEDIT: Nikki, here is the link:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7218920724339766288&q=loose+change
