A Few Corrections

I’ve just re-read the text and I must make some corrections. First, the sign is: “We live in a twilight world.” The countersign is: “And there are no friends at dusk.” The symbolism remains the same, although slightly richer. People can understand it on their own.

Also, when the gas gets pumped into the theater hall and the audience faints, it is the terrorists who pull on their gas masks. The anti-terror troops are already equipped with these.

Now, the number of troops. Roughly speaking, there are about fifty terrorists. The anti-terror troops seem to be twice as many. I think I have overestimated the number of vehicles which bring in the anti-terror military. You don’t need dozens of trucks to deploy a hundred men.

The scenes feel overwhelming and despite the fact that I try to only read the movie instead of watching it, I can’t avoid a certain emotional drainage which prevents me from being completely objective. For example, there are only four or five men in the American team, not six.
