      Iraqis who have shed more blood are silent

      After the US imperialism was frustrated in Iraq, the government began to consider retreating its troops (still retaining some military bases), and the people began to reflect on it. However, because of this war, the Iraqi people who lost their homes and killed more casualties, because of the lack of international discourse power, could only watch the U.S. emperor talk to himself, commemorate the U.S.'s own children, and justify its position. This is normal at first, but I want to ask: "Your...

      buck fush

      A very simple film, recording four brave American soldiers who returned to China from a truce in Iraq, but faced various serious and personally unsolvable problems in their lives. . .

      Through the misfortunes of those who participated in the war, the film forced people to reflect and criticize President Bush and all the sources of the war. . .

      There are many challenges in life, and if you choose, it often means a major change in your life. If you are far from participating in...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In addition to the correctness of all military terminology and action scenes, the film’s military adviser, Odresco, also trains the actors who play soldiers in the film.
    During the shooting in Morocco, there was an episode that made people laugh: In order to highlight the local features of Iraq, the art team drew a portrait of Saddam on the wall of an alley. When I came to the scene the next day, I found that the face of the portrait...

    Make the background

    On March 5, 2006, the Hollywood movie "Home of the Brave" started shooting in Morocco. In order to truly show the look of the Iraqi battlefield, the crew deliberately chose Morocco, a North African country with an outdoor environment that is very similar to the Iraqi neighborhoods, as the shooting location. A remote desert city between Agadir and Marrakech in southern Morocco was set up as an Iraqi battlefield by a camera crew. This...

    • Will Marsh: Buck Fush? Buck you, you son of a bitch.

    • Police Sergeant: Been in there for about an hour. Kept asking for you.

    • Penelope Marsh: Will, what happened over there?

      Will Marsh: I don't really remember. You know. It's like a dream. Hazy dream.

      Penelope Marsh: Then tell me. I wanna know.

      Will Marsh: Do you? Wanna know what a blast wound looks like? What an OR in the desert smells like? What really happens to them? How they die? You really wanna know? You want us to come back like nothing ever happened. You don't want to get your hands dirty with the details.
