    Is reporting that has been repeatedly in danger really worth it? The obsession is to have hope in human nature, and hope that there will always be someone who cares about the first-hand information brought by them despite the hail of bullets. Such people are worthy of respect. However, the director of "The Land of Drugs" couldn't save the weak script, and restored the important events of the last 11 years of Marie's life in a delicate way. If there is no support for Pike Chunhua's superb acting...

    Compared with the gossip about personal life, the film's performance of the professionalism of war reporters is simply sloppy-running under a hail of bullets? Some sensational monologue? A cry of justice when interviewing a dictator? After all, what people most want to remember about Marie Colvin isn't PTSD, alcoholism, or a pretty...

    A war reporter is no different from a soldier, taking his own life to defend the values ​​he believes in. Similar to "American Sniper", Mary hates war, but keeps driving herself to the front. The battlefield and daily life are intertwined, and the image of Mary's staunch, brave and humane care has come out, but the film's narrative of the story is relatively lacking in tension, and even a little...

    A war correspondent may be the only career I have longed for after working. In retrospect, it may be because the people and things they observed at the first scene are the eyes of the world. Regardless of the political leanings of the film, it doesn't affect the fact that a war correspondent is a great...

    Send a person with a lot of emotions to see it, so we don't have to. It is indeed the optimal allocation of social resources to a certain extent. Except that he will fall into endless pain, don't even think about pulling away, of course, he will also get the happiness and recognition of the opposite. Reminds me of my dad's biggest expectation of me being a war...

A Private War quotes

  • Title Card: In 1986, Marie Colvin began a career as a war correspondent writing on the frontlines of every major conflict from Iraw to Afghanistan to Syria.

  • [first lines]

    Interviewer: Last question. Fifty years from now, some youngster's gonna pull this disc out of a box and maybe make a judgment about becoming a journalist. What would you want that youngster to know about Marie Colvin and about being a war correspondent?

    Marie Colvin: Very difficult question. It's like writing, uh, your own obituary. I suppose to look back at it and say, you know, I cared enough to go to these places and write, in some way, something that would make, uh, someone else care as much about it as I did at the time. Part of it is you're never gonna get to where you're going if you acknowledge fear. I think fear comes later,

    [realization chuckle]

    Marie Colvin: when it's all over.
