"it" refers to ???
what does the "it" refer to?
The result, as you might expect, is not unlike a Steven Spielberg film about the Weather Underground: It’s fast-paced and gripping and holds your attention for two and one-half hours, but leaves you feeling like you don’t know much about these events beyond the surface facts. Part of the problem is that the filmmakers elide a lot of facts that it assumed were familiar to a German audience, like the identity of Rudi Dutschke, whose attempted murder is a key early event. See this film and you’re certain to head afterward, if not to a good bookstore, than to Wikipedia to fill in a lot of holes.
does the "it" refers to the filmmakers??? When I read to this sentence, i am confused by this construction.
The core of the 4th Circuit's opinion was that Padilla was a battlefield combatant because on the facts that it assumed to be true, he had borne arms in Afghanistan and could return to battle there. The 4th Circuit held that the Congressional authorization for the use of military force following 9-11 provided the President with authority to act.
I think this "it" refers to the "core of the 4th circuit's opinion". Am I right?
