Denzel Washington - Torture Scene Speech - The Siege 1998

[z28west]

This is absolutely insane that this movie was made BEFORE September 11th. The really sad thing is this is true, unfortunately in real life there is no heroes and the good guys don't win. =(

[bootlegs11]

denzel washington for president

[gapascon]

how fuckin true. Stupid Americans. Doing exactly this and worse. 

[PufferBluntman]

Ok, where's the part in which Bruce shoves a watch up his ass?

[RimlandThesis]

Guess what America, you mother fuckers already torture people... everyday !

fuck Hollywood !

[porpus99]

@RimlandThesis Guess what, blaming all Americans is a fucking not the right way to go! Blame the people who have slithered there way into power, and give orders to corrupt politicians that who take there orders from Big Business's! As for people being tortured on American soil, many of us Americans(The kind who actually believe in the Constitiution) are appalled by the actions of our Government, but if you think other Countries are free of it, then wake up!

[chad3232132]

Learn to live with it people. A police state is what's needed these days.

Ron Paul? Nice showing last night in the Florida primary with that amazing 7% of the vote. Enjoy retirement in a re-education camp Dr. "No Nothing" Paul. ;)

[SabbateanFrankists]

Yes 'they've already won' b/c it wasn't them to start the fire...karma bitches! USA is in for a big roller coaster ride..yippee ki yay motherfuckers!

[Eepicman]

I thought obama only signed because the republicans attached it to something else he needed passed immediately so he didn't have time to allow argument.

[kinan52]

@Eepicman it was sitting on his desk for 3 fucking weeks, if he vetoed it that would have more than enough time for congress to adjust it!

[firegod001]

@NoMAIG Nope to all of those. You're just an idiot. So sorry to hurt you with the truth.

[firegod001]

Very underrated movie, especially this scene.

[firegod001]

@NoMAIG Retard.

[veritas1031]

Repeal NDAA

Ron Paul 2012

[Jessica01274]

wow, bruce has hair!

[elfil76]

NDAA thats what this movie should be called thanks alot Obama,The Senate and Congress.

[cHaOsTw3nTy4]

Ron Paul is amazing, as is Denzel. In my eyes the "terrorists" as you people like to call them have won a long time ago... you people are just opening a cut wound trying to go back into Gaza soon and attempting to invade Iran...

[travz21]

Ron Paul 2012. Google it.

[nysp993]

This is one of my favorit movie scenes of all time

[gtg242m]

Ron Paul 2012.

[VaticanIscariot]

Ron Paul is Denzel XD...

[KhanIndustries]

How ironic with the NDAA on our Bill of Rights Day of all things. A sad day.

[Blade92776]

With the recent passing of the Defense Authorization Act (a law that grants the military the power to police within U.S. soil & make indefinite arrests, without an actual charge; without a trial; and without any articulated justification.... This video speaks volumes..

They've already one...

[Nelsonwmj]

Shred the Constitution for all I care. American democracy is dead. In the words of Julius Caesar in Emperor - the Gods Of War: " The Roman Republic... has been a brilliant but failed experiment. Now it is time for an empire to stand." 

[vLordChronicv]

im suprised the government hasnt taken this video down.

[aj22one]

@vLordChronicv I'm surprised this movie was ever allowed to be made in the first place. I first watched this movie in 2002, and I remember thinking that if we weren't careful things could end up the same way they ended up in this movie. It's so accurate it's scary.

[ismailaminaden]

hahahahaha LONG LIVE SHEIKH OSAMA BIN LADEN !!!!

Americans al;l bunch of filthy bastards whom's lives are run and dictated by Zionist-Jews.

This fictional speech by Denzel Washington just proves how corrupt and disgusting the Americans truly are.

Torturing young and old men for what ?? "Freedom and Justice" hahaha Many more 0/11's please !!!!

[MattsPolitics1]

@msinclair1991 wow lol they already assassinated an American citizen that had nothing to do with 9/11 and was only suspected of being affiliated with terrorists. So yes they already prooved they can go that far.

[fluffymole0913]

The best speech was the one at the end where Devaroux is arrested.

[MisledTrick]

Denzel 2012!

[sropp1]

Where can i find this movie ??? And the name of this movie ???

[rcharding]

@sropp1 The Siege

[killamilla702]

Are all you guys retarded the federal reserve owns all of Us, all the tax money you pay goes to them not the government the banks even owe the federal reserve money John F. Kennedy was shoot 6 months after he signed the 111110 act that would start to take the federal reserves hold on us. since then know government official has stepped up to them

[bloomtoferal]

@killamilla702 seriously, im appalled at how many people i know personally who don't know anything about the federal reserve. You'd think that most people would do a little research into what is happening, but there is a new Jersey Shore episode on every week.

.

[killamilla702]

@bloomtoferal Watch This Anime/documentary short film On it, It should Simplify Things :The American Dream

[locutus94]

Yes jerks of the Bush admin, you should listen to Denzel Washinton more

[pouyaouya]

ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE?

[HioPojac]

I wonder if Bush watched this movie.

"There's water.." "Shit yeah we'll go with water. We'll save the cutting for if the water don't work."

[athenazg]

I guess they won.

[ricardofuego]

Denzel preachs against torture in movies, supports the status quo that needs torturers in real life.

[Armageddon2077]

@ricardofuego He's an actor --- it's a the of an job of an actor to speak another persons words to an audience, the actor doesn't have to believe or agree with what he's saying. This is an important and powerful message though, and the film is worth everyone seeing at least once --- especially if you tell them it was made in 1998 before showing them it.

[ricardofuego]

@Armageddon2077 He's a human being living in this world before he is an actor, that's why I held him accountable.

[Armageddon2077]

@ricardofuego accountable for what --- actors say stuff in films all the time that they don't believe, otherwise any actor who's played a villian in a film would be a threat to society.

Perhaps (also) like many Americans today Denzel Washington believed what he was saying then --- but after the 9/11 attacks he felt that the situation had changed. This is what a lot of the press argued against Ron Paul during the 2008 Republican primaries, after 9/11 --- the rules changed. What do you think?

[ricardofuego]

@Armageddon2077 I think "niggerized" whites who NOW feel unsafe and hated because of who they are should learn from black people's struggle against american terrorism for 400 years.

[msinclair1991]

Torture is wrong but in the sake of national security you have to do whatever it takes to protect the lives of american citizens and that's what I love about this country. God Bless America.

[ItsGettinTooHott]

@msinclair1991

what if you torture citizens for "national security"? what if you start throwing people out of their homes for the sake of "national security"? what if you suspend all of our rights as citizens for the sake of "national security"? the thing is, once you bend the law, the law is worthless... God will NEVER bless a nation that tortures people, no matter how good the intentions are. read your Bible. torturing people blurrs between americans and terrorists.

[msinclair1991]

@ItsGettinTooHott I respect your opinion. I really do. I am not talking about torturing our citizens dumbass. But do you think these terrorists would show any mercy if they decide to capture one of our troops and torture them, not likely. And do you think god will bless them. no, he will help them to see clearer and show that they are misguided in their beliefs. I believe in getting even and I believe in getting revenge against the evil. So in the meantime SHUT YOUR GODDAMNED LIBERAL MOUTH.

[ItsGettinTooHott]

@msinclair1991

judging by the way you speak, i can see that the God you were referring to is not the God of the Bible... but maybe God = USA? just so you know, the government doesn't really care about our safety as much as you think. they couldn't care less about you as long as they have your money in tax dollars. look at the crap way combat veterans are treated. and what about the 9/11 first responders? still can't get all their medical treatment cared for because its too expensive...

[ItsGettinTooHott]

@msinclair1991

no u didn't get what i'm saying... i'm saying that if we are willing to torture someone to save lives from terrorists, then eventually we'll be willing to torture people who are accused of being involved in murders in order to save people... what if someday you are wrong accused of murder or terrorism and it was a big misteake? once you start breaking the rules of war and violating the constitution its a very dangerous slippery slope, no matter how good the intentions.

[msinclair1991]

@ItsGettinTooHott We're not talking about me. I'm talking about the extremists who pose a serious threat to our nations security and its citizens. I respect the law and the rights of every american. I don't think that torture should be used against american citizens. It should be used against terrorists. One soul the loss of one single soul is tragic to me. But if we have the opportunity to save lives then we better take it even if it does include coerced interrogation.

[ItsGettinTooHott]

@msinclair1991

i understand what you are saying. but- there have always been and always will be threats to our nation. whether it be in the form of terrorists, governments, etc. what i'm saying is that if we make it legal to torture people who pose a risk to civilian safety, then where do you draw the line? Remember the Oklahoma City bombing? We never tortured McVay to find out the accomplises. Torture is illegal, and if we torture terrorism suspects soon we'll torture American "suspects"

[msinclair1991]

@ItsGettinTooHott I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go that far down to american suspects the government wouldn't allow that. But if someone is declared an enemy combatant and working with terrorists fuckin-a strap his ass down to a chair and waterboard him. Find out what he knows, what the plans are, and who's behind it.

[ItsGettinTooHott]

@msinclair1991

but is it okay if that person is only a "suspect" and was not actually working with terrorists? there was a man held and tortured in Guantanamo because he was sold to the US government by middle eastern terrorists for $5000... they claimed he was in al-qaeda... which he was not. he had a family and children and was held there for 5 years. what would u do in that situation? wouldn't you at least want a chance to prove your innocence? they should at least stand trial.

[lasoogneypubes]

@ItsGettinTooHott Yeah but that's the reason they have the facility in Guantanamo. It's not in the USA so they don't have to have a trial. Fucked up.

[MP7A3]

@ItsGettinTooHott Trials are reserved for Americans.

[ItsGettinTooHott]

@MP7A3

actually the constitution says due process is for "all persons", not "all citizens" or "all Americans"... but i doubt you care what the constitution says :)

[ItsGettinTooHott]

@msinclair1991

and forgive my spelling errors... i'm quite tired... but just to clarify, i'm not a liberal... i'm for freedom and the constitution.

[123sausages]

@msinclair1991 what a wanker you are

[JUANO510]

DENZEL IS THE BEST ACTOR OF ALLTIME MAN

[JUANO510]

CHILLS...... RON PAUL 4 PRESIDENT HE'S THE ONLY HOPE

[Simm2Dimm]

truer words have never been spoken

[sssssssssssssssss198]

love denzel

[Nothingseen]

It's an empty feeling to live in a country that's lost its soul.

[SangsungMeansToCome]

Sorry Denzel but conservatives can only comprehend direct causation, not systemic causation. Therefore members of the out-group have no rights.

[kasrkinmullet]

@SangsungMeansToCome

The conservative and liberal parties are both equally to blame. They have demonstrated nothing except a lust for war and control. Obama and Bush have both committed travesties against people, it's not so simple as a party difference.

[SangsungMeansToCome]

@kasrkinmullet I'm talking about the conservative worldview, not political parties.

[JUANO510]

@kasrkinmullet AMEN..... BUT NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THAT MAN.... LET THEM LIVE IN THE MATRIX, THERE NOT READY 2 WAKE UP

[thanushanz]

damn...

[samhaghjoo]

Wow. This speech applies so well to today's society

[jazzyjeff1282]

@samhaghjoo almost prophetic

[OurTimeIsOut]

@jazzyjeff1282 Yep

[zack9796]

can someone tell me what everyone is talking about saying they won and how this is so true. im lost in the sauce and yes im an idiot.

[SepsVideos]

@zack9796 Terrorist vs americans.

[darthkantus]

@SepsVideos

not terrorists VS americans, but terrorists that act in broad day light VS terrorists that act in the dark... who should we praise and respect and should we censor and criticize? after all it were the americans that created terrorism in the mountains of Afghanistan...

[redzabes]

0:03 nigga

[badjer1785]

"they've already won"

[Orwellian68]

@badjer1785 You are absolutely right. The sad thing people don't even realize it

[BigBoyKaveman]

@HumansHaveFailed never seen such a username that spoke so much truth in so few words.

[fixinah]

Guess they won and its over then

[rockwitit123]

Hollywood telling you the master plan. Go back and look at others its creepy.

[drshoggothshow]

@rockwitit123 What are you on about? this isn't dropping intel on some "master plan", it's a scenario in a film attempting to illustrate a moral. Fucking conspiracy goofballs.

[rockwitit123]

@drshoggothshow Why don't you go and jerk off with your dirty cheetos hands to your mom. Fuck off Faggot.

[drshoggothshow]

@rockwitit123 *yawn* try again

[wonderpulp]

6 people won :(

[Vendetta71105]

HE HAS HAIR??!?!??!

[captimmoregin0]

this is crazy true

[jgq85]

Someone should edit the torture bit to have Rebecca Black singing in the background while the guy's screaming in agony.

[Wuzimu4444]

Denzel. He can do no wrong.

[SNAZ101]

I really feel like I have been missing out by not having watched this movie.. Wow.. I just realized... I can type really fast. [9]

[urs1ne]

This movie has scared the shit out of me since I saw it 13 years ago at 14 years old. I still show this movie to everyone I can as a warning. At first people said it would never happen, now people just say, ya, so? How can we be so callous?

[Robstailey]

I've been sayin that shit or years.

[geno604]

excellent actor.

[paranatural]

@Himmelkrieg - Jack Bauer? A fictional TV Character? You'd have to be dumb enough to believe TV characters are real to think that torture 'works'.

[ViggsPR]

@paranatural That was a pretty obvious joke....

[ProtoCyberpunk]

They've fucking won.

[Himmelkrieg]

Five minutes with Jack Bauer. I'm just sayin.

[Lagginator]

@Himmelkrieg Have you ever seen 24? Five minutes with Jack Bauer and the person has either been assassinated so they don't talk or accidentally killed by Jack himself.

[falconhead67]

this is stupid

[dreamdebris]

@falconhead67 this isn't stupid, it's not even close to the brutal reality of the current situation.

[alpharaptor1]

we lost...

[TheHolyMane]

unbelievable.

[quicksilver4648]

Its funny because it is like that now.

[scootcha]

I remember when a scene like this was purely hypothetical. I miss living in a world where this was improbable.

[roflcopteroni]

@scootcha Ok reddit

[Trucifer]

this has been happening since time began at least on earth so I am curious as to when this was "hypothetical" or "improbable"?

[animatesand]

@scootcha just because you didn't hear about it doesn't mean it didn't happen and hasn't been happening...

[stanger666x]

can that chick look up and down any more in that scene?

[EnthalpyH]

It's amazing this movie was made in 1998. Is the director a soothsayer or something?

[BlindJIHH]

AtheneWins watched this

[wittywiggles]

Funny thing about torture is it's the oldest form of interrogation. If it didn't work don't you think they would stop using it? Sure the information you get might be bad, but isn't that the chance you have to take when thousand of lives are on the line?

[myothernameistaken]

@wittywiggles People don't stop using things just because they're old, stupid or don't work. Religion and prohibition are examples.

[Giagantus]

@wittywiggles

That's a ridicoulous argument, no insult intended towards you. If rape and torture of babies could save the lives of thousands would you (since we're making up scenarious) ? Silly example I know and that's the point.

[SpaghettiMarinarable]

They did win, look how much we've spent and look how afraid we are. prophetic.

[RicklesGibson]

All I see in Denzel's character is a raging idealist.

[meestryal]

@RicklesGibson Maybe you should check your sight then.

[rothpwns]

in capitalist America, Banks rob youuu!

[aidinabedi]

@rothpwns that would be so funny if it wheren't so true

[asimsinthehouse]

@rothpwns Ahahahahahahaahaa



[ButtplugClock]

@rothpwns

They can't steal what they already own

[ransom22]

@rothpwns That's not capitalist America, it's corporatist America.

[ashtonnesmith]

awww! How quaint.

[MrMas3d]

lol ya torture was completely "unthinkable" before 9/11. Brainwashed Americans are brainwashed.

[RockkNRolla]

@MrMas3d the uploader is referring to the similarities between police states and the U.S., not torture. Dumbass.

[JahRage]

@RockkNRolla What was the "amorality" the uploader was referring to? I will help you, it starts with a T.

[ChristopheMinnik]

@MrMas3d it was wrong back then too... could you name a single terrorist back then? and if so do you know if they were caught so easily back then? and if so was the terrorist treated civilly back then? you don't know? well i suggest that "back then" we were not aware of torture and if you were, and did not care then you have something wrong with you.

[tkinbk]

In democratic United States...
