      Tower Mirage

      The Mirage of the Tower Mirage 9.11 The Burden of Bureaucracy In hindsight, the most famous terrorist act in the history of human civilization, which had a great chance of being stopped, was ultimately destroyed by the endless infighting between the CIA and the FBI. Due to the clash of civilizations and different values, they are all shouting for justice and wielding sharp knives at each other, and there are unsolvable tragedies everywhere. Afghan children were destroyed by their homes and...

      A sad failure

      Compared with similar themes, the play has a good angle: the struggle between the FBI and the CIA allows terrorists to take the opportunity to rise. But other than that, the whole show was a failure. Where it fails: The key storyline is understated, and the crap details are cumbersome.

      Why is the fight between the CIA and the FBI so fierce? What is the underlying reason for the discord? This is the key plot of the story and the most worthy of further investigation, but in...

      The battle between the CIA and the FBI

      In the American TV series, the FBI and the CIA have always been at odds. In this play alone, the CIA wants to start a war, treat the whole of Islam as an enemy, and even wants to bomb hundreds of training camps at the same time. One can imagine the collateral damage this brings! Many civilians will be killed, and as the conflict deepens, more people defect to bin Laden. The FBI wants to bring terrorists to justice and to trial. Stopping every attack, and arresting people when there is a...

      Prefer another translation: Tower Shadow Mirage

      The American drama "Murder of the Giant Tower" (I prefer another translation: Tower Shadow Mirage) tells the cause and effect of the 9/11 terrorist attack in more detail, and it is a good American drama. The play deduces the long-standing discord between the CIA and the FBI, that is, the CIA and the FBI, as well as the contradictory details and the disastrous consequences. After the number of people read it, no one reported the intelligence to the FBI. · The former head and successor head of...

      Egypt is where it all started

      The second brush, look back repeatedly, read the original, and understand what is right and wrong. It is recommended to carefully understand the historical geography and geographical structure of Africa and the Middle East before you can truly understand it! Ten episodes can show one-third of the original work. The spiritual core of modern extreme clothing religion cannot be reflected in the TV plot. Several universities in Egypt are the source of guiding ideology, which is the basis for the...

      It is a particularly "American" drama. From the characters to the plot, the incident is viewed from an American standpoint, and the actors are all American English. The jokes interspersed in the tense plot are also confusing. It feels like a cannon...

      Samsung and a half have watched two episodes, and it feels okay. However, there is not enough tension in the narrative, the characters are quite three-dimensional, and the camera switching and the sense of the picture are more comfortable to watch. The conflict between the FBI and the CIA directly led to the seriousness of the situation. In this way, the 9.11 incident was made by the United States itself. #Hope the later plots can be more attractive, so I have the motivation to pursue...

      It's a pity that compared to the original novel that won the Pulitzer Prize, this drama by hulu is not very exciting. John O'Neal is so fatal. The original is highly...

      While looking at Wikipedia, I found that a lot of content that seems to be forcibly dramatized is true, including the love history of the protagonist John O'Neill, the girlfriend of the Lebanese brother and the CIA's office romance (the bearded leader of the CIA is actually Still teaching at my school...). The hero's life is miserable! The prototype of the Lebanese boy is a producer, looking for a handsome guy to play himself...

    Movie plot

    Tahar Rahim as Ali Soufan, a young FBI agent who quickly becomes a disciple of John O'Neill due to his intelligence, fluent Arabic and understanding of Islam . Ali, angry that America's enemies had misinterpreted his religion, would do anything, even going undercover among extremists, to prevent disaster. Jeff Daniels plays John O'Neill, the head of the FBI's counterterrorism division in New York, who is convinced that the United...
