Declaration of War
this movies kind of a gross watch, its a good 7 minutes of endless clapping with no dialogue not even a second of bush speeches is shown. i think it's really interesting to see the people who are clapping. some looked touch, like the war is something theyve been hoping for, some look overjoyed, some look almost saddened but the majority of people look completely unmoved, theres people who look annoyed by the fact they have to be there and stand up and clap. the war on terror killed hundreds of thousands, hospitals were bombed, it caused unimaginable harm and these people whether they look geniually interested or not are cheering for it, a sea of people a room that contains maybe a good thousand people id assume, all cheering endlessly. its very impactful
