      From Nanjing to Hadidish

      I very much hope that Mr. Jiao Guobiao can see this movie, because he wrote the hymn when the United States invaded Iraq.
      Said that the righteous American soldiers have brought freedom, democracy and happiness to the Iraqi people.
      I really want to know what kind of hymn Mr. Jiao Guobiao will write after watching this movie, to sing praises to his hero - American soldier.

      But I saw the Nanjing Massacre from this movie, and saw that Americans, like the Japanese, killed...

      lies lies lies

      It's an honest movie made of lies - honestly told about lies.
      The heavy metal at the beginning of the film screams "lies, lies, lies" as the opening meaning. Since I haven't heard the band's songs and I don't know the band, I can't help but speculate whether this is a band formed by the soldiers. The sonorous metal music and roar accuse us of the hypocrisy of war and the confusion and numbness of the US military stationed in Iraq. "Don't listen to those lies. In the end, it's only your...

      "For a fact that cannot be denied, then smear it!" Fuck the British!

      To spit a few words: Only people who are seriously ill can imagine the great significance of artistic value and human nature that they see through this film.

      This is a naked propaganda film, a defense film! Oh no, I was wrong, it's not naked, people still put on a coat that looks neutral and looks like a war against politicians.

      Let's review what this film shows us in the face of the proven Marine Corps massacre:

      1. The Marine Corps massacre is a fact.
      2. The...

      What is truth?

      How are the "truths" that we swear to the death against and the "truths" that we swear to defend are concocted? The film gives us a good explanation.

      The Iraqi guerrillas are trying to build momentum. Attack the American convoy at the expense of civilian lives. Standing on a high place, they calmly filmed the scenes of the bloody massacre with DV, and announced these scenes to the international community. In the reprimands of the international community, they have achieved the big...

      Who is the villain?

      It's another Iraq war movie. It's still very different from The Generation Kill. The most obvious thing is that the intention is clear, and the final target is directed at the top of the United States. TGK had no clue at the end, probably because the skills were too shallow...
          The three-line narrative, the documentary shooting techniques, these are nothing to say.
          In this anti-war film, the only people who can be called "villains" are Mr. Bush and the senior general who does...

      Religion can be used to put on the cloak of hypocrisy, and it can also be used to repent and ask for forgiveness! And the common people are always the saddest, and all the sins of the hostile sides are carried by the common...

      IDE factory, Hadisse Town, Iraq. IDE caused one death and two injuries to the Marine Corps convoy. The MC, who lost his brother, went crazy. 15 Iraqi civilians died innocently during the subsequent search mission. The Iraqi people who were instigated by behind-the-scenes black hands picked up rifles, and the Marines who killed civilians were also facing interrogation...Who was wrong in this war? Value view? Religious belief? Who is the most innocent? Iraqi people? Soldier? The contradictions...

      When talking about war, we will be very sympathetic to the soldiers' actions, but don't forget the source of everything, that is, the US military invaded Iraq and said lethal weapons, it's...

    Movie plot

    The film reproduced the war that took place in the heart of the Iraq War, and made a close-up close-up of the bloody incident in the town of Hadisse in November 2005. The resisters planted a remote-controlled bomb consisting of a gas canister and a mobile phone remote detonation device beside the road. The bomb was detonated when a US military convoy passed by, causing one US soldier to die on the spot and two US soldiers to be...

    Evaluation action

    The story of this film is relatively simple. After Iraqi rebels used roadside bombs to cause one death and two injuries to the U.S. military, the U.S. military ran to nearby residents' homes to retaliate wildly and shot and killed 24 civilians. Translation into the battle of XXX is also very inappropriate, because this is not even a small battle, but the US army is excited to shoot civilians. (Actually, I think that the battle of XXX...
