Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
The premise of the movie was that a critical mass of Arabs were shooting at the embassy, which justified Jackson's decision to fire indiscriminately on the crowd. However, afterwards the camera scans over the bodies and not one weapon can be seen. Pause it and look for yourself. Did everyone manage to fall on top of their weapons as a last act before death? [At different points of the film the viewer is shown different "versions" of the embassy incident, some showing weapons and some not, adding to the effect of uncertainty as to what really happened during the shooting. However, the truth is revealed when the National Security Advisor is seen in his office viewing the tape from the security camera, which shows shooters firing at the embassy from within the crowd.]
