the seige

8 November 1998

After church today, on a total whim, Wende and I saw The Seige, starring Denzel Washington, Annette Benning, Bruce Willis, and some other guy whose name I cannot remember.

The whole idea that that could happen was really scary to me. Seeing Brooklyn under martial law made me think damn I am glad to be free. Emotion and tears ripped through me to see the concetration camp that was created. It was nuts.

Denzel's character was tough and believable, although his face seemed to heal quite quickly after one particular incident.

Bruce Willis played the super patriotic, testosterone driven general and it was the first role I'd seen him in where I thought, "grrrr" at his character.

The scene that is shown in the previews with Bruce yelling at Denzel, "RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, I AM THE LAW!!!" put me in a death-grip on Wende's hand.

'twas a good movie. I'm glad it was only a movie.
