And if he went for the upper cut in the 7th

If I were buying a laser gun I'd definitely take the XF-3800 before I took the "Pew Pew Pew Fun Gun."

Yeah, well... they like fresh meat in prison....

1. In what ways did the legal system help Jeff Wigand blow the whistle?

There's an old law on the books in most states that is rarely enforced by the courts but can be used if necessary. It's the dreaded Triple Dog Dare. If somebody from the district attorney's office absolutely has to gain information for the record or wishes to shame you into licking a frozen flagploe, they simply say, "I Triple Dog DARE you!". At that point you have no legal recourse but to take the dare. This is what happened to Jeffrey Wigand, both in Michael Mann's film and in real life.




2. In what ways did the legal system hinder Jeff from blowing the whistle?

Ah, but then once the information was obtained they threw in another old legal maneuver, "Red Light, Green Light". They just kept taunting him with "Red Light", and Wigand was forced to freeze exactly where he was. Then they'd give him a "Green Light", but almost before he had taken a step, legally speaking of course, they would very quickly shout "Red Light!" again. Cheeky bastards.




3. What was the personal price paid by the two whistelblowers in the film?

Banishment from the kingdom. The only way they can return is to slay the dragon that lives in the Misty Mountains.




4. What view is given of corporate America in the film?

Rosy!




5. What power did Brown and Williamson have?

Jim Brown could pound a hole in the line or spring to the outside, and damn if he couldn't catch a pass on the screen or out of the backfield too. He had all the tools a running back could ever want: speed, agility, size, toughness and durability. He was the first man to reach 10,000 yards rushing and his records for all-purpose yards stood for many years! As for Sonny Boy Williamson, that man could play the harmonica and make you cry!




Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks guys!

No problemo! You should watch The Insider sometime for yourself. The Musical numbers get a little repetitive, but the special effects are amazing, especially the space ship.
