      If you want to add any element, it will become different!

      The director lacks talent, and the characters are insipid. A good story was made like this. I remember watching the Discovery Channel introducing this incident. I was thrilled by the actions of the Israeli commandos. It can be called an anti-terrorism textbook! Interspersed, it made me embarrassed to death. Really watching this film is worse than watching a documentary. If you want to add any elements, it will become different! In addition, this film also considers the political nature, and...

      Seeing the awkward dance at the last moment really seems like a curse

      I seldom write film reviews. When I meet this second-hand director, I can't help but complain. The climax of the whole play is suddenly interspersed with awkward dances. The rhythm was messed up. It's so disturbing to look at! What kind of director, such a good subject was ruined like this. If you don't make good action scenes, you can learn from others. Even if you copy Hollywood's second-rate action movies, it's better than your stupid creation. The rhythm is all messed up, and it really...

      "Firefox One Attack"

      The literal translation of the movie is "Seven Days in Entebbe". I don't know why it is translated into "Firefox One Attack".

      It is about a hijacking incident that caused a sensation in the world 42 years ago. The PLO and the German Red Army jointly planned the hijacking of the Air France plane and, with the support of Ugandan dictator Amin, landed at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. There were more than one hundred Israelis on board. The hijackers took these Israelis as hostages and...

      I wanted to throw a concept bomb, but in the end I had to throw a real bomb

      Most anti-terrorism films take the military as the perspective. This film is quite special. The main line is in two German robbers and Israeli high-level men. The male robber is an idealist, naive and timid. This kind of person can successfully hijack an airplane, maybe Hijacking the plane is not as difficult as the wolf imagined. It is also possible that the security check in that era was not as strict as it is now. I have always been curious about how they brought the gun on the plane...

      Are you afraid of spoilers for real actions? .

      The translation of Firefox One is quite unreliable, isn't it Thunder Action? Unexpectedly, the subtitle team can also translate Egypt into India, Palestine, and Pakistan stupidly. Hahaha.

      The biggest selling point of this film is the adaptation of the truth, at least the top three hostage rescue operations in human history. Four C130s ran for more than 4,000 kilometers at low altitude and landed at Uganda airport. They overturned a lot of terrorists (the guns were filled after...

      Samsung thanks for bringing this story to the screen....

      After watching the last dictatorship and watching the history of Amin, I can't download other movies about Entebbe. I like a sentence from the Palestinians in it: you are here because u hate ur country, i am here because i love mine. It’s normal to have a low score. There is a special forces girlfriend line, which is very unnecessary, and I don’t know what to say; Pike Chunhua’s line is also Too much ink, trying to deliberately give people thought, but actually...

      The interspersed dance is...

    • By Earline 2022-04-24 07:01:22

      The lack of foreshadowing makes it difficult for audiences who do not understand the hijacking event and historical background to immerse in it. It involves the psychology and ideas of all parties involved in the wrestling. The dance part is very novel, but it is not flattering, and it interrupts the sense of rhythm. It's a bit redundant, the film is very smooth in showing the progress of the situation, and it has a refreshing feeling of overlooking the overall situation. Apart from the bad...

      Obviously, Padilla's focus is not on the typed surprise attack on Entebbe. The core battle scene is dazzlingly montaged with modern dance, which is also bold. From a relatively neutral point of view, the faith-shaken European ultra-left and the still-decimated Rabin who won the battle convey the atmosphere of historical nihilism, and tend to be as critical as the elite troops, but with much less dramatic force. The Palestine-Israel issue will not actually get...

    Movie plot

    In the summer of 1976, an Air France passenger plane flying from Tel Aviv, Israel to Paris was hijacked. The terrorists forced the crew to land the plane at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. They also asked the Israeli authorities to provide five million U.S. dollars and release more than 50 Palestinian militants held by Israel.
    In the next seven days, the lives of more than 200 passengers were dying due to a deadly political deadlock. Israeli...

    Background creation

    Director José Padilha and screenwriter Gregory Burke both conducted an in-depth study of the Entebbe hijacking incident in 1976, and talked with the surviving hostages and former soldiers who participated in the rescue, including shooting Kurman. With Poser’s soldiers and French flight engineer Jacques Le Mana, for example, when the Israeli special forces arrived to rescue the hostages, Poser refused to kill the hostages-this plot was...
