    It's just "adrenaline addiction." The adaptation was not very good. The films selected by Rosa Monpike after "HHhH" were all...

    She is so cool. (Except for the obsession of wanting to have children). The editing is interesting, but the whole is still Hollywoodized. Pike played as well as expected, but JD, never thought he would have acting...

    Pei Chunhua is a treasure-level actress, and now he has a variety of Middle Eastern themes... As a work that may not be nominated for the Academy Award, Pei Chunhua’s performance can be said to be the best I have seen this...

    Hollywood finally started the story of the war in Libya and Syria after the Iran crisis, the Middle East war and even the Afghanistan war. The main theme is essentially the affirmation of the Arab Spring and the advocacy of democracy and...

    The theme escort is difficult to make bad, but I always feel that there is something missing in the heroine's characterization. The soul of the war trauma is true, but the reflection on the human trauma of the inner war is a bit simpler. Fortunately, Pei Chunhua's performance is really in place (may I give a nomination), and the devastating scene is indeed shocking. And, please give me a dozen donan....

    Adding a star to the performance of Sister Chunhua, the last work of TIFF18 is this one, which is also considered lucky. The advantages and disadvantages of this film are obvious. The advantage lies in Chunhua’s performance and screen performance. The disadvantage is that the protagonist’s character is not complete and the show is curious. The plot continuity is not very good, and it is more of a time series plot. Each plot has strength but put it together and it feels too tired. In fact, the...

    Personally, I feel that this role is too unsuitable for Pei Chunhua. I have always been impressed by the scheming bitch of the disappearing lover. The best candidate in my mind is Judy Foster or Charlotte Lamplin. The legend of Mary Colvin is a hundred times more abundant than the movie in her life, and the movie is made like a Wikipedia's chronicle of...

    "Private War"

    This is a biographical film. It is about the biography of the famous war correspondent Mary Colvin. Mary is a reporter for the "Sunday Times". She has conducted interviews in war-torn hotspots and was blinded by the bombing in Sri Lanka. Hence the nickname "One-eyed Woman". She also went to the...

    False political propaganda! Very hypocritical!

    I think some plots of this film are debatable, especially the Syrian part at the end, which is suspected of whitewashing the rebels. There is no justice party in the civil war, but in this movie, the party who is declared "just" by the United States is depicted as a victim, persecuted and oppressed...

A Private War quotes

  • Newspaper Editor: Why is it important, do you think, to see this images? Why is it important for you to be there? Right now you may be one of the only Western journalists in Homs. Our team has just left.

    Marie Colvin: For an audience for which any conflict is very far away, this is the reality. There are 28,000 civilians, men, women and children, a city of the cold and hungry, starving, defenseless. There are no telephones. The electricity has been cut off. Families are sharing what they have with relatives and neighbors. I have sat with literally hundreds of women with infant children who are trapped in these cold, brutal conditions, unable to feed their children anything other than sugar and water for weeks on end. That little boy was one of the two children who died today. It's what happens every day. The Syrian regime is claiming that they're not hitting civilians, that they're just going after terrorist gangs. But every civilian house has been hit. The top floor of the building I'm in has been totally destroyed. There are no military targets here. It is a complete and utter lie.

    Newspaper Editor: Well, thank you for using the word " lie ". I think a lot of people wanna thank you, because it's a word we don't often hear, it's not often used, but it is the truth in this case. The Syrian regime, their representatives, have continually lied. They've lied on this program to us directly. Marie, I mean, you have covered a lot of conflicts over a long time. How does this compare?

    Marie Colvin: This is the worst conflict I've ever seen. It's the worst because it was a peaceful uprising that was crushed by violence. President Assad is sitting in his palace in Damascus in panic, the entire security apparatus his father built crumbling around him, and he is responding in the only way he's been taught how. When he was a child, he watched his father crush oppositions by shelling the city of Hama into ruins and killing 10,000 innocent civilians. He watched, as we're watching, a dictator killing with impunity. And the words on everybody's lips here are, " Why have we been abandoned? ". " Why? ". I don't know why.

  • Marie Colvin: Your apartment looks like Patrick Bateman's London nightmare.
