Act I of III
Background: Twenty Minutes with the President was filmed as a contest entry for Alex Jones and Charlie Sheen's short film contest. Contestants were to take a transcript written by Sheen—a dialogue between himself and President Obama regarding the events of 9/11—and turn it into a film. (The original transcript can be found in the link provided below). This is my interpretation.
Using the transcript as a guideline, in terms of setting and the direction of dialogue, the script that eventually came out was a blunt assessment of current events, future plans, and a clear divide between heroes and villains. Sheen is representative of any inquiring American; Obama is equivalent to "The Mouth of Sauron" in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. President Obama is the mouthpiece for the New World Order. With this in mind, his dialogue is dramatically transformed from what is heard on television, slow and slick and often convoluted, and is replaced with a much more direct and dramatic approach to his responses.
The story and tone of this project develops in the dialogue of this short production. Some patience is needed. Though there aren't any explosions or fanfare here, it is interesting to watch these puppets smoke and banter. It's fun.
Each act is purposely divided. (Not all sections are 10 minutes long. No, sir. Some are way shorter. So have a go at 'em).
Act One:
This is the introduction; audiences are gradually led into the context of the play. Who are these characters, what are their motives, etc. There's obviously some tension expressed, though a willingness, on Obama's behalf, to listen to Sheen's argument and presentation of important documents. (Each document, it should be noted, is verifiable. Bibliography provided below.)
Act Two:
This is the longest of the three segments and features Sheen's presentation on the inconsistencies of the 9/11 events, including quotes from the 9/11 commissioners, FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, stories from first responders, firefighters, etc. It's a narrative journey. This is part of the 20 bullet points from the original transcript, though they're ordered and worded differently for a better flow. Including these points was a stipulation of the contest. One of the few. (But necessary)
Act Three:
Here is where the "Mouth of the NWO" speaks. Obama presents a villainous speech—representative of what his bosses are doing and intend on doing (as addressed in their own documents and words)—in which he states the obvious: We're moving forward. Forget about 9/11 in any questioning context. In this section, lines are clearly drawn. There are mentions of new world government, the Copenhagen conference and treaty, and the influence of banking cartels.
Tech: The text graphics on this video are a little shoddy. Under time constraints and having to deal with new editing software, the exported video text turned out to be a little grittier and inconsistent than intended. (Not too bad, though. But still)
Why puppets?
Time constraints and a massive amount of dialogue. In the end, I was really happy with the decision. And if given the chance to do it again, I'd still use those things. They gave the film a Team America World Police kooky quality to it—something that didn't come to mind until halfway through the editing when I noticed how hilarious it was for puppets to be speaking so seriously with one and other.
