when adolf hitler solidify his hold on germany he ask german to give up little thing so that he could make them strong . he slowly take more and more freedom away until there be no freedom at all . a american we believe that this could not happen here and we be too democratic . however and many totalitarian government start slow . in this play and two suspect be be put through a degrading interrogation . one be an american woman be interrogate by a chinese officer . the other be an arab be interrogate by an american agent . a the interrogation take place and the two interrogator become interchangable and say the same line . it be a not so subtle way of say we in the u have become what we have always speak against . of course and we can use the argument that we be do it to protect our way of life . but can not the chinese use that same excuse . i think the film be rather blunt and but the message effective . if we be truly the most humane and democratic country in the world and if due process be still alive and then we must show it and not just say it .
