Training Day


Mark G. E. Kelly wrote about the movie Training Day. This movie stars Denzel Washington as a crooked cop, training Ethan hawke on how police work is really done in the streets. in this passage Kelly relates the movie to the war in Iraq. "This story is a metaphor for America’s involvement with Iraq over the last thirty years. Hoyt is America, of course; Alonzo is Saddam Hussein. Alonzo dwells in a neighbourhood where he has the “golden pass. ” He is apparently a king, but in fact he is hated, secretly."
