The truth we know

Watching this movie, I completely rushed away from the starring role of "Xiao Shenke's Redemption" in the introduction. Unexpectedly, it was a film that I felt a little bit recently.

There is no hot chase, no worrying suspense story, and no lingering feelings of handsome men and beauties, but some are chills. Yes, just a group of ordinary characters have created an explosive story about the truth in ordinary life.

Ironically, the film was released before 9.11. Ironically, there are so many opponents of 9.11 in the United States who question the authenticity of 9.11. However, it is not easy to stop all the speculation about the truth and stop all the doubts and defenses.

In the movie, the professor's remarks on public safety are really classics. When public safety is provoked, we need a name—a simple name. With a name, there will always be a motivation that fits the fragile logic. Therefore, on September 11, the popularity of "Osama bin Laden" and "Al Qaeda" started, and the US government once listed the elimination of "Osama bin Laden" and "Al Qaeda" as the number one goal of counter-terrorism. Ironically, this works very well. As for the U.S. funding of bin Laden, supporting the Taliban, and doing all the behind-the-scenes transactions, they are gradually abandoned-by the people of the moment, by the history of the moment. Will it be abandoned by the future history, regardless of the current people's affairs.
