Do you have an evil mind and think that the 9/11 attacks where made up by the U.S. government? I know, I know that could sound really twisted … and it actually does, but what if it’s true? There are a lot of unanswered questions about the events that happened on that terrible day.
There’s a theory that points out several hypotheses which make you think this is true: the conspiracy theory. Anyways, this all sounds like the kind of fiction-drama movie that Hollywood produces, for example, Independence Day, Armageddon … patriotic films where citizens are in serious danger and there’s always a hero who saves them.
Well, this is the case of Homeland, a TV series produced by American channel Showtime, maybe the term "Homeland" sounds familiar to you, doesn’t it? For those of you to whom it doesn’t, it is the Department created after the 9/11 attacks in order to prevent, fight and safeguard the U.S. National Security against terrorism. So, the storyline is just about that: guaranteeing American citizens’ freedom and catching the "baddies" (=the bad guys).
Claire Danes plays the role of Carrie, a CIA officer who suspects that the returned Sergeant Marine Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) – who was held hostage by Al-Qaeda in Iran for over 8 years - has been turned by Al-Qaeda and plans to commit an attack. I recommend the series to those who love spy-games, drama and suspense. Obviously, the series displays lots of patriotism and anti-Islamic feelings too. Just like real life, what a shame!
Anyway, it’s a series where paranoia and the conspiracy theory take place; some scenes will shock you and catch your attention too. Indeed, Homeland will trap you … yet another reason why you can’t miss this series is that it has already won an Emmy and two Golden Globes Awards, for best Drama series and for the outstanding performance by the leading actress, Claire Danes.
