      【Xu's movie viewing】Battle in Seattle


          The time when we were born and grew up happened to be the time when parades were forbidden, so this kind of youth thrown on the streets seemed out of reach as myths, and as mysterious and taboo as ghosts and gods.

          A young black man who seems to be in high spirits throughout the play has an inconspicuous line: "Before this, who knew about the WTO? - although they still don't know it now." In fact, this sentence hit the streets of democracy. Hidden and deadly...

      Anna Ji will not say...

      You should at least tell the story smoothly.

      Don't compare this with the genius JFK. It's easy for others to complete 3 or 4 narratives in the same small scene. Just compare it with the more stable Recount in this regard. They are all multi-line political events within a limited period of time: Recount handles them in an orderly manner. Although several lines are intertwined, they are very clear. Under this clear vision, the dramatic tension is pushed to a climax by changes one after...

      Certainly not in China

      I still admire the pragmatism of the Americans, and I see that the Americans are indeed open to the United States because of their multi-party governance, freedom of opinion, and enthusiasm for pursuing their own beliefs, but it is not so-called without rules. I want to harm the interests of the ruler At that time, it is basically impossible to open up. This film realistically depicts a group of people who protest against the inequality of the WTO and do not care about developing and poor...

      Tribute to the warriors

      The feeling of watching this movie is admiration, admiration for those who dared to confront the government, admiration for these successful warriors, who fought for themselves and for fairness. In fact, no matter whether the result is successful or not, they are all worthy of praise. I pay tribute to these people~~~

          The realism of the movie gives a great impact. In addition to the expression of the protagonist, a large number of real scenes reproduce the scene of the turmoil at...

      what are we suppose to do?


          The film is adapted from real events. Interested students can check the parade that took place in Seattle in 1990.

          Due to the length of the film, the film did not give a very detailed explanation of the establishment, role, operation, and influence of the WTO. It only took a minute or two at the beginning to pass very reluctantly. In these two minutes, the director used common documentary techniques to denounce the existence of the WTO. Although the WTO is not necessarily...

      It's a good story, how could it be made like this. The script is not good anymore, and the director is not good enough. When I looked up, I found that the screenwriter and director were the same person, which is really...

      After watching Dongfang, I remembered that I had seen such a movie. The free and effective expression of ideas is probably an important reason why many people yearn for the film...

      The scene where Woody's cop and Martin's Jay are talking beside the cage is the most profound. In fact, group action is the easiest to get out of control and to be used by others, not as many people...

    Movie plot

    Every time the World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial meeting is held, it causes a series of troubles, and when world leaders gather to discuss global economic issues, there is always a large crowd of protesters outside the meeting. Some are shouting for an industry in their own country, most are anti-globalization people. However, under normal circumstances, although there are still minor riots at the protest site, the tone is...

    Evaluation action

    "Bataille à Seattle; I exegersi; Battle in Seattle" has some of the same treatment as Paul Haggis' "Crash" - avoiding the stylized and didactic narrative tools when it comes to broad political themes , as well as eschewing disgusting affectation and squeamishness. (1905 Movie Review) 
    "Bataille à Seattle; I exegersi; Battle in Seattle" is much better than "Bobby", which is also a group show, and can be compared with "Flight 93". The...

    Movie quotes

    • Django: Teamsters and turtles together! Come on, Teamsters and turtles together!

    • Jay: I don't blame you. I mean, I do, but... Shit, you're not the problem. You're just doing your job, i guess. The people I'm really trying to fight are the ones who destroy so much, and they hurt so many lives. Not just one. Literally, millions. And no one ever points a gun at them. You know, they just seem so, unaccountable. Untouchable. Just seems kind of fucked that you're... You and me are the ones that have to fight each other.

    • Mayor Jim Tobin: Be tough on your issues but be gentle on my town.
