19世纪末到20世纪初，这当中的二三十年说短不短说长也不长。对于中国，则是风云变化的几十年。在这当中，中国自二次鸦片战争后，又经历了洋务运动、甲午战争、戊戌变法、辛亥革命、二次革命等。其中，中国结束了清朝的统治，走向了民国；新思潮开始传来，旧制度渐渐走向衰退。千疮百孔的中国也正向着更光明的明天前进着。
在这二三十年的历史河流中，留下了许多亦正亦邪的人物，慈禧太后（吕中 饰）、李鸿章（王冰 饰）、袁世凯（孙淳 饰）、孙中山（马少骅 饰）等他们被记载在历史课本里，和中国的历史相挂钩。借由这部剧，让我们再回顾一下那个时代，那个风起云涌变化万千的时代。前路虽然艰辛，但我们也正一步步向前迈进。

影片描述了罗马帝国史上最荒淫的暴君卡里古拉王荒淫无度，凶残暴虐的一生，他长期与妹妹保持着不伦之情，心理和精神上都极度不正常，所以他的所有行为都伴随着荒谬、疯狂和不可理喻。称此片为情色影片史上的史诗性巨作，绝对当之无愧。

A Flood in Baath Country
[TUFAN FI BALAD EL-BA'TH]
Directed by Omar Amiralay
Syria/France, 2003
Color. 46 min. Arabic with English subtitles.
In 1970, Omar Amiralay made a short documentary, Film-Essay on the Euphrates Dam, in praise of the ruling Baath party's project to construct an impressive system of dams. Today, after fatal construction flaws have been discovered, his controversial new film, A Flood in Baath Country, explores the metaphorical implications of such weakness. Without commentary or criticism, Amiralay's film exposes Baath party propaganda and its debilitating effects on the people of al-Mashi village, 400 kilometers (250 miles) northeast of Damascus. The camera moves slowly from students to teachers to government officials, with everyone reciting the exact same praises for the president and slogans glorifying the Baath party. The film is the harshest indictment yet of the regime, portraying the devastating effects of 35 years of rigid Baath party rule on Syrian society.
"There is nothing enigmatic, by contrast, about Omar Amiralay's documentaries. They're as outspoken as can be--and yet they, too, convey their argument through unforgettably strong images." – Stuart Klawans, The Nation
The filmmaker's first film is a short film to the glory of the Euphrates dam, the pride of the ruling Baath party. "I regret this youthful error". 33 years later, he unveils the indoctrination at work in the village classroom.
There is nothing enigmatic, by contrast, about Omar Amiralay's documentaries. They're as outspoken as can be--and yet they, too, convey their argument through unforgettably strong images. Among the most forceful of his films is A Flood in Baath Country (2003), which has the added benefit of encapsulating Amiralay's career for you. In 1970, fresh out of film school and fired with enthusiasm for the Baath regime, he made a short titled Film-Essay on the Euphrates Dam. At the beginning of A Flood in Baath Country, you see footage from this early work: brief views of dam construction, shot in expert imitation of Amiralay's beloved Dziga Vertov. Meanwhile, on the soundtrack, the present-day Amiralay speaks of his distress at having made such a film. Construction was shoddy; dams have fatally collapsed. As for the artificial Lake Assad, beneath whose waters stand inundated villages, it now seems to Amiralay to be the perfect symbol of the Baath regime, which seeks to submerge all life in Syria.
