      What can we afford

      The last time I watched a film crying, it should have been watching Armageddon Doomsday, Bruce Willis’s American-style heroic commercial film. The father sacrificed himself for his daughter’s lover. Team returned to the earth and sounded the ending song, lying on his side. I burst into tears on the bed, not for the sacrifice of the hero, but because the father was for the sacrifice of his daughter. It’s very strange that this kind of thing happened for a commercial movie. The old man was very...

      How "honoring" became: awarding

      First of all, explain that this article has nothing to do with the content: after

      reading the content introduction, there is a sentence: "Serving as an idle position in the delegation department", I really don't understand what kind of department the so-called "delegation" is.
      Search it on Baidu, there are 678 articles, but except for some "switches", they all use the same brief introduction of the film, which shows the power of communication in the Internet age.

      After...

      Rashomon, Made in US

      I came across this movie because of Meg Ryan—want to see a different Meg Ryan... She has very few scenes, mostly flashed by, and even appeared in a different image—hehe , It can be regarded as reaching the original intention!
         Is it similar to "Rashomon"? Inaccurate! Because it is the "Rashomon"-Hollywood version... On the whole, the narrative structure of the film is basically the same as that of the previous film; the theme and the discussion of human nature are not in the slightest or...

      The darkness and brilliance of human nature

      At first I thought it was a war movie, but the title is worth studying. Courage Under Fire, what kind of courage is this? As the plot gradually deepened, I realized that this is a film about human nature. Captain Walden and the actor Captain Sarin are clearly two people who would not have any intersection, but because of a war, they were connected with an investigation. In the process of Captain Sarin's investigation, the secret of Captain Watten's death was finally revealed.
      I couldn't...

      Warning from U.S. military officers

      A very restrained movie, without crying or rhetoric, but rather sincere and deep.
      But what impressed me most was the remarks heard when the officer played by Meg Ryan accepted the rank
      -
      everybody, in the end, I would like to remind everyone to command wisely
      after
      dismissing the troops,
      warn them
      to protect with all their strength, to protect, and
      to judge, the
      most important thing is
      to be sincere. Sincerely
      use your full spirit
      and...

      This is an American-style story of "smell the rites, know the shame and then be brave". Personally, I think it's very exciting from the telling to the performance. It includes the reflection on the behavior of "went and pretending to be wrong" and the redefinition of war...

      It's a bit like Rashomon, but the various suspense and conflicts in the early stage were finally restored to a theme movie that was not very good. The tiger's head is not very big, and the snake's tail is...

      The only bright spot is the person who plays the father of meg ryan in air america as the head of the cia. The person who played the Marine Corps machine gunner was a failure. The non-commissioned officer in the army was under the officer, and the crew in the helicopter and other vehicles was under the commander, which made his confession to be a lie and correct at first...

    Tidbits

    The film originally wanted to get a hand from the military, but after reading the script, the public relations department of the Ministry of National Defense rejected it on the grounds that "no one of our soldiers is a good person"   .
    The footage of the Iraq War was shot at Indian Cliffs Ranch, a suburb of El Paso, the westernmost city in Texas. After the shooting, many props stayed in the local area and became a landscape that...
