The Siege
The secret US abduction of a suspected terrorist from his Middle East homeland leads to a wave of terrorist attacks in New York. An FBI senior agent and his team attempt to locate and decommission the enemy cells, but must also deal with an Army General gone rogue and a female CIA agent of uncertain loyalties. From TMDB

The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques...the deportation of illegal immigrants will continue." The movie takes place in 2027.
unlabelledView post →Another Plane. Drove to my job at Hollywood Video. Phone already ringing off the hook. "Do you have THE SIEGE?" (a Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, Annette Benning film about a terrorist attack on NYC that results in martial law). Every store was out of that movie that day. That's how I found out.
unlabelledView post →Trump watched the movie The Siege and saw every condemnation as an endorsement
unlabelledView post →I keep saying this but I can’t get it out of my head that we must be led by political and military leaders who saw the movie The Siege and thought Bruce Willis was the good one.

unlabelledView post →THE SIEGE is the kind of good movie you get when Hollywood is accidentally a lot more honest about America than it normally is. (On all levels, you literally couldn't make the movie after 9/11.) I am duty-bound to always shout out this video essay by @honorszombie.bsky.social: vimeo.com/420865434

unlabelledView post →When I was a kid there was this Denzel movie called The Siege. It was about the unthinkable... a major American city placed under direct US military control, with Feds arresting and interrogating people on ethnic profiling. Pure Hollywood fiction, right?
unlabelledView post →It is wonderful when politicians and elected officials admit “oh yea, that scene from that movie The Siege, Bruce Willis and the others herding Muslims into the internment and torture camp, they were the good guys.” Clarifying!
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s war movie: “The Siege of Jadotville” (2015). Lots of quotables: “The sun either melts you, you forged you.” Also: “Politicians don’t understand about tactics. And soldiers don’t understand about strategy.”

unlabelledView post →Been thinking about that 1990's movie "The Siege" lately. And that Posse Comitatus episode of the West Wing.
unlabelledView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday My #LastFourWatched were mostly light horror. It was interesting revisiting The Siege to see how the events of the film (set in 1998) compared to what happened during and after 9/11 a few years later.
unlabelledView post →Another great Wings performance is in the (easier to find) Vietnam epic The Siege of Firebase Gloria, a pretty good film that shows both sides in one area of the war. Wings and R. Lee Ermey have some great scenes together.
unlabelledView post →This warning from the 1998 film "The Siege" keeps getting more relevant not less.
unlabelledView post →Ironically, Willis' character ends up being one of the antagonists of the film after the president refuses to follow his guidance and deploys the army to New York... and he takes some pretty nasty extra-legal actions. The movie is "The Siege," and it's one of my favorites.
unlabelledView post →Watching The Siege. It's not a happy feel-good movie. Nor should it be. And people should watch it, given where we are.
unlabelledView post →Each night I play a game of movie roulette with the stores database app, CLZ Movies. It has a cool function where you tilt your phone and it generates a random film from the 17,000. I then find it and post a pic Here's today's indiscriminately chosen title... THE SIEGE OF FIREBASE GLORIA (1988)
unlabelledView post →Film of the evening. Of the Lester pair I like this one more. It has the same cast and wit, but the darker edge to the plot and the fight scenes are better. Also, the segment at the Siege of La Rochelle is unsurpassable.
unlabelledView post →covered The Siege as a potential five-star three-star movie, but discovered it's actually too good for that distinction (though still imperfect) great video essay about it here:

Thanks to @thenastypasty.bsky.social and Film Treasures for some essentials Shout out to @michaelvarrati.bsky.social for the Siege recommendation, a real trailblazer of a film #horrorsky
unlabelledView post →The aftermath of 9/11 is hard to explain to people who weren't there. We really thought The Siege was suddenly a good movie.
unlabelledView post →Some thoughts now that I've had a little time to digest: *that truck mode is way too long. Know what would help? Some kind of trailer. *him coming with the Siege axe and movie swords is wild. Just like the ultimate clumping of all Optimi
unlabelledView post →The Siege of Laconia would potentially be the coolest space battle put to film. Expensive as hell though.
unlabelledView post →Final Thoughts: The Siege of Jadotville depicts a battle between Irish soldiers and mercenaries in the Congo in 1961. As a film, it is well shot, directed, and acted with excellent scenes. As politics, it rights a wrong as the Irish government tried to cover up the battle. Well done. #hatm
unlabelledView post →There is even a movie quote about it. Bruce Willis in The Siege says: "The Army is a broadsword, not a scalpel. Trust me, senator, you do not want the Army in an American city."
unlabelledView post →On 9/11, one housemate’s first inclination was to go out and rent “The Siege,” the movie inspired by the 1993 WTC bombing. I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear that he’s now a cop.
unlabelledView post →Film and literature. Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island, Blofeld from James Bond, also the Suspicious Bastard from the Siege of Jadotville. People in white linen suits may be viewed suspiciously.
unlabelledView post →The Siege being the movie that pretty much predicted how we’d end up minus Denzel managing to restore sanity at the end.

unlabelledView post →Bruce Willis' speech in THE SIEGE about this very thing is the best scene in that movie, because eventually you understand his character is telling the politicians that martial law never, ever works.

(This is a bit of history that I am unfamiliar with, so I look forward to seeing the discussion throughout the film) Click through this post of @herberthistory.bsky.social for the details.
unlabelledView post →I keep thinking of that scene from The Siege with Bruce Willis and Denzel Washington (prescient movie btw) - about betraying principles to 'save' the institution. What are you saving then? That's the question I keep coming back to. (I'm not sharing a clip because it shows torture, dehumanization.)
unlabelledView post →That movie The Siege will be moved to the non-fiction category once the sleeper cells are activated, and just like the film, ice will start disappearing Middle Eastern people. I'm so tired of scump not being the one to find out when he fucks around.
unlabelledView post →I kept thinking about THE SIEGE in response to the "no movies about 9/11" article but this movie came out in 1998 and *prefigures* post-9/11 America so perfectly that I keep forgetting.
unlabelledView post →"...over the film, Sinon re-emerges to become the embodiment of Odysseus’ guilt, as the Siege eventually becomes recontextualised, and we come to understand our supposed hero’s shame and remorse... Page plays it perfectly. He is rageful and righteous, but tragic and touching..."
unlabelledView post →If you ever get a chance, you should watch Patlabor 2 which is the most post 9/11 pre 9/11 movie outside of The Siege.
unlabelledView post →And again, Dave Filoni shadowed Rian Johnson on set and he frequently credits him for helping him understand the mechanics of live-action filmmaking before he started working on The Mandalorian. There is a not-so-subtle homage to the film in The Siege of Mandalore arc of TCW season 7.
unlabelledView post →My favorite film performances from the 1990s. Annette Bening, Elise Kraft/Sharon Bridger, "The Siege" (directed by Edward Zwick). #movies #films #favoriteperformances #annettebening #thesiege #edwardzwick
unlabelledView post →I watched The Siege during the Christmas break (expecting a pretty generic action thriller), and it’s crazy how that 1998 movie was prescient of the War on Terror in the 2000s *AND* the current timeline with an occupation of a US city… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Siege
unlabelledView post →Many years ago, i was a PolSci major at a prestigious university in Sydney, and wrote a thesis on what, at the time was a growing wartime phenomena known as "terrorism" this was around 1998, and my research referenced a range of sources from Edward Said to Film Criticism (The Siege) and the US DoD
unlabelledView post →Rewatch "The Siege" next. That movie was.... way too prescient
unlabelledView post →Back on my New York movie bullshit! I've always been fascinated by THE SIEGE as both a pre- and post-9/11 NYC text, so it was a pleasure to chop it up with The Boys. Give it a listen!
unlabelledView post →Great conversation. Zwick along with Andrew Davis and Phillip Noyce made some of the great high concept mid budget political action thrillers of the 1990s. His 1998 film The Siege is, in my opinion, one of the great prophetic films about American foreign policy in the 21st century.
unlabelledView post →First movie of vacation is Steve McQueen and Bobby Darin in "Hell is For Heroes," also featuring James Coburn and Bob Newhart. Apparently this film influenced the Deep Space Nine episode "The Siege of AR-558."
unlabelledView post →“And now they’re here. Doing what you taught them…” — Denzel Washington, The Siege, dir. Edward Zwick … still an all time great line and scene in modern filmmaking, highly underrated movie.

unlabelledView post →Aside from the Siege Ironhide footage, which I can't film until the figure actually arrives, filming is done for the Earthrise Ironhide vs SS86 Ironhide comparison. The footage folder is 469 gigabyes. Oh god what have I done
unlabelledView post →THE SIEGE is a film about terrorist attacks on NYC that causes the US military to declare an emergency and begin rounding up Arab-Americans. A heroic FBI Agent (Denzel Washington) reminds the general (Bruce Willis) of the civil liberties he swore to uphold. it came out in 1998
unlabelledView post →Have started two movies (that aren't new to me) in recent days only to stop because they were just too intense/stressful for me right now. Why did I pick them? Not quite random choices. (The Siege & The Town because I guess I wanted titles like that?!?!) (The Movie.)
unlabelledView post →Not that anyone asked but I guess my biggest takeaway from the Doomsday trailer is it all feels so unearned. From 2008-2016, the MCU took its time to build excitement. Now every movie is a summer crossover event. At this point, I want nothing more than for them to introduce the Siege Perilous.
