The president of the United States is always easy to be assassinated, even because of a trivial matter-for example, as long as the president allows abortion, he may be killed by a radical conservative, no matter how extraordinary his political achievements are. If his hobbies are far more than these, and even like to send his soldiers to the front, then he will be more ammunition, and there are more so-called terrorists who enjoy it.
However, the President of the United States is not the emperor. According to history, the assassination of the President of the United States can never make this country complete. The president is just a replaceable part in a mechanism. As written in "A Closer Look at the United States", the President is unreliable. of. However, the president represents a group of people. He speaks for this group of people and helps this group of people to make decisions. The frightening thing is that this group of people can know what most people like and want as long as they are smart enough, and they tend to instigate everyone. I am convinced of his ideas-at least to the point where the bill is passed, and what Americans care about is this idea. Whether this idea is foolish or not, the people may not be able to see it during the presidency. For a person who hates this deeply, it is obviously not convenient or effective to kill the gang behind the president. Kennedy is an example. If Oswald hadn't killed him so early and let Johnson, a bastard, come to power, the Vietnam War might end early, and it would not become a scar in the hearts of Americans.
The interesting points of this movie are: First, it does not completely evade the story and characters like some previous films that ridicule the president of the United States. It is aimed at George W. Bush. Second, it is not illusory at all. As a pseudo-documentary, it has tried its best to be true. Whether it is the reaction of the president before, when, or after the assassination, a lot of work has been done, and it is almost like it is. A political prophecy. If you show this film to someone who doesn't watch the news very often, it will be considered true.
Technically speaking, this film is no different from a real political documentary. The stealing of real information is the usual specialty of FILM4. With the ingenious editing of real shots and probe records, interviews, and photos, the vivid expressions and tone of the characters make the film themes. Although it makes people laugh, the production is quite serious, so the Republican Party is quite dissatisfied with it-of course, all people who are upset about Bush and those who like to watch his jokes will find it quite funny. Obviously, the black humor of the British is better than that of France. Human presumption is even more lethal.
The later process of arresting the suspect is more ironic, but not absurd. As a hawk, Bush has offended too many people, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, North Korea (even in this film he is about to send troops to North Korea), Somalia..., This makes the range of suspects large enough to make the FBI a headache. The poor Somalis has therefore become a target of public criticism. When the investigation just started, the media and even the White House had already regarded him as a murderer, trying to prove that this was a threat and revenge from terrorism. Then it was a matter of course to pass a series of anti-terrorism-related bills. Just like Bush’s attacks after 9/11, human rights and equality, which the Americans are proud of, were suddenly pushed to the brink. Although the American Civil Liberties Union reminded Congress to prevent overreaction after the Oklahoma bombing, who cares about this in a critical moment?
The guilty verdict of zikri once again ridiculed the fact that the jury system, despite its democracy and equality, often gives the right to violence to ordinary people who are easily incited. Even if the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution stipulates that serious criminal cases need to go through a grand jury hearing before trial, what about it? The White House has already taken the lead in making a presumption of guilt. Ordinary people are not experts. They will think that the so-called vague evidence in front of experts can explain the problem. Amid the grief, anger and revenge frenzy of the president being stabbed, the failure of the jury system to replace the law with emotions immediately became apparent, and the overwhelming public opinion frenzy was equally terrifying. Wasn’t the innocent Irish youth suspected of causing the London bombing in "In the name of father" found guilty in an angry roar of "killing him"? Even Simpson was able to retreat with his whole body. If it weren't for the president's assassination, the evidence would tell nothing. Following the forensic’s “forced to shut up” and the FBI’s “thanks to the Third Patriotic Act”, they ridiculed the spirit of democracy and law in the United States.
Linda wrote in "Worries Deep in History", "Hamas is not only a terrorist organization, it is also a religious organization. In the United States, it is entirely possible that some citizens just identify with this organization religiously. In this case, a U.S. citizen may be prosecuted under the "Anti-Terrorism Act" for religious reasons and donated ten dollars to a hospital belonging to this organization, and may be sentenced for it." This poor man The Somali boy is precisely this kind of victim.
The other suspect, Casey Claybon, a veteran who lost his brother in Iraq, said, "We did not find weapons of mass destruction, so we had to tell ourselves that we were fighting for freedom and for the freedom of the Iraqi people", which made people laugh. It is undoubtedly the most straightforward mockery from the British in the movie.
Casey’s father’s suicide was the last killer. The British were indeed very familiar with their allies. The dramatic scene looked like an old-fashioned style, and even the way to deal with embarrassing situations was familiar.
The shots of children holding Bush's portrait are really vicious. Fortunately, Westerners don't seem to take this seriously. I don’t know if Bush himself has watched this film. Will he say “I don’t care about this, they have the right to oppose” after watching it?
By the way, the history of killing Jiafeierde assassin, assassin definitely the funniest enter the Hall of Fame (hereinafter switched from "Our Martyred Presidents assassinated US president", Frank Edwards, Sun Baocheng Translation):
Jiafeierde win the presidential nomination at the time, had It caused a split with the Grant Party of the Republican Party, and the development of the situation angered a bewildered Chicago lawyer named Charles Giteau. For some reason, Giteau is obsessed with the idea: If he kills Garfield, the Republicans will unite again, and grateful Republicans will reward him with an administrative position for his merits!
He borrowed 30 dollars and went to Washington.
James A. Garfield may be famous because he is the only president who has worshipped with the Assassins.
In search of a chance to kill unsuspecting victims, Giteo followed the president into the Christian church on Vermont Avenue and sat down two rows behind the president. But Giteo decided not to carry out the assassination during the service. As he later said, it was because "I was afraid to hit some innocent people."
On June 18, Giteo, who had failed his plan, followed the President and Mrs. Garfield to the train station, but he determined that Garfield was already sick. Mrs. Field can't bear witnessing the murder of her husband with her own eyes (at this point, either Gite Obibus or Oswald is more considerate).
On July 2, 1881, President Garfield entered the Baltimore and Potomac train stations in Washington without guards, only Secretary of State James Bryan accompanied. Brian stopped to chat with a friend, and Giteo saw the opportunity. He ran behind the president and fired two shots at close range, all hitting. When the onlookers handed over Giteau’s gun, they heard him say: “This is all right! They must give me that job!”
In the murderer’s pocket, they found a letter addressed to the “White House” . In the letter, Giteo apologized to Mrs. Garfield for what he called the "necessity" to kill her husband. The assassin assured Mrs. Garfield: As all devout Christians know, the president is happier in heaven than in Washington.
