Yesterday while I was switching between T.V. channels late at night, I catched MBC Action channel when it was about to repeat playing Will smith's Enemy of the State after they played it last Tuesday. And because I really adore conspiracy movies, This one remains my favorite one after Mel Gibson's Conspiracy Theory. I started concentrating on watching for the zillionth time. And of course every time I notice some new things that I didn't pay attention to before!!
First of all, this movie reminds us of the scandal that took place a year or two ago after discovering that the BUSH administration took full credit and control of monitoring people's phone calls and tracing the personal life details of certain citizens without having any prior right or even suspecting that person…!! Well, to be honest, I can't remember the full details and that's what I can say.
Everyone after then (either than 9/11) became an enemy of the state, especially the Arabs and Muslims of course.
But will the plot that took place in that movie shall apply that way if the hero was an Arab?!
I don't think so … Here is a new and quick scenario I thought about if Bobby Dean Clayton (Will Smith) was called (Muhammad Samir) for example, and here goes the story :
(Scenario 1)
- Mohammad is an Accountant (not an attorney), He was buying Abaya for his wife (not LingerieJ))), and then suddenly a colleague of him entered the abaya store running as he was chased by some government feds.
Daniel Zavitz the colleague (as in the movie) used to attend a course with Mohammad in George Town University, and when he met him while running, he just threw the Disc hidden in the Game Boy into his bag.
The same original movie incidents goes on until that part when Mohammad's visited by those Feds. They enter by force saying those eternal words, only if they have time and have that sense of guilt or humor to say 'em, (You have the right to remain silent and everything you … blah blah blah blah…) till the end of this crap.
When they searched his house they found the game boy and the disc, and from that day he's been accused of 20 felonies, 14 murder crimes, 17 burglaries, and the list goes on.
They didn't have to exert any effort tracing him where he goes," just catch him, and to hell anyone who dares to speak"..!!
After the US government discovered what's on the tape later at the end of the movie (where Mohammad disappeared after the first 5 scenes or something) and that one of it's congress men was murdered.
The US government announced that Danny Zavitz was a martyr and honored his soul by naming the new Game Boy Editions after him.
They said Danny was a victim coz he took the video tape by chance thinking it was porn and he made a copy for his friend, and when he was delivering it, he was afraid to get arrested because of the usage of an illegal copying program…!!!
But What about Mohammad Samir?!
Okay, just open any human rights organization website and you'll find loads of campaigns to free him … Oh, I forgot to tell you that he's in Guantanamo after the fifth scene…
He was accused of his intentions to sell that tape for Al Qaa'da…!!!
He couldn't be an American hero, I though that was clear from the beginning!!
Actually, I thought of another four scenarios to write, but I'll post 'em later, it's 9 p.m now and I have to leave coz My husband is about to come back home, and I'm dying of hunger…Salamz all.
