      Lord of War: War is Inhumane but Necessary

      1. In a just world, success is hard. When the principle of benefit distribution is too transparent and there are too many rules, money is very profitable. On the opposite hand, the unjust business that operates underground always brings in quicker and more money.

      What one has to understand is that a lot of injustice is also necessary for world order.

      War is inhuman but necessary.

      It is illegal to smuggle arms, but for the participants in the war, only the smuggling of arms can...

      weapons of mass destruction

      The life of an arms dealer is actually very beautiful, fighting with suppliers, family, competitors, customers, police, conscience, and all kinds of wits.
      At the beginning, when I saw the international police, I was also moved that it was fortunate that someone would deal with these arms dealers. In the end, I found that the biggest arms dealers were the members of the Security Council, and the male protagonist was just a small intermediary in the gray area. Immediately soared. After...

      This is an inspirational film with evil as the main object (who stipulates that only doing righteous things can achieve self-realization!)

      The film is about the history of a generation of arms fighters and satire on the real arms dealer (country) behind it.
            It seems that in terms of arms, the male protagonist is a victorious general, which shows us that a person's value is not realized under the leadership of justice. On the battlefields of various countries in the world, there is such a chaotic hero who has cooperated with any dictator. What an admirable legend this is! Do you have any secrets to his success? No, he...

      After Viewing · Personal Notes

      In fact, judging from what the film is trying to express, I think the length of the film is actually severely compressed, perhaps to better tell a story, and to avoid too much procrastination and formalistic preaching that disgusts the audience, even though it is divided into upper and lower sections After watching the whole film, there is still a long gap in the middle, but quite a lot of details hit people's hearts directly, and there are many of them that click through my heart, so I will...

      A man's autobiography

      Men are very interesting animals. They are like machines when they are complicated, and they are as simple as a child. They are under enormous pressure in a male-dominated society and cannot expose their vulnerability. All these images seem to have been gradually formed since the Stone Age wearing animal skins, and success is to keep yourself and your family alive, live better, and live your best life. But the photosynthesis is only for a short time every day, but there are more and more...

      Another hilarious movie. To be honest, I don't think there is anything wrong with him. If he doesn't sell, other people will naturally sell it. Why is it wrong to make this money by himself. What really needs to be stopped are those with weapons. A weapon is just a tool, it depends on how to use it. oh~ It seems that my three views are wrong again. ....

      It seems normal now. The theme concept comes first, but the value of the entire movie can only be considered improvised, and it is good to look good, and it is limited to that. All the camera senses are only for the narrative service, and they do not play their own characteristics. The important thing is to emphasize the beauty of the values, which leads to the unreasonable situation of the characters (well, the two characters of the younger brother and the wife are...

      As an arms supplier, you may have multiple protections today; you may become a scapegoat tomorrow. With his feet on a road paved with bullets; with a sky that would drop banknotes on his head; with hundreds of millions of innocent lives on his back, it is hard to say who has the real vicious dog in his heart, Yuri or his younger brother. They survived? No, they lost...

    Movie plot

    The family business of American immigrant Yuri (Nicholas Cage) was originally a restaurant. But by chance, he stepped into the door of the arms business and started his "career" in arms sales. Yu Rui was witty, bold and careful in case of trouble, which not only allowed him to successfully capture the heart of the beauty Eva, but also made him more and more courageous in the underground arms business.
    However, unsatisfactory things also...

    Filming location

    The scenes in the film span 13 countries. On August 2, 2004, the "King of War" crew was officially launched in New York. In the first few days, they filmed many scenes in Manhattan and Coney Island's Brighton Beach. The crew took only 9 days to shoot the location of the United States, and then rushed to Cape Town, South Africa to start a 10-week high-load work. As the local public security was a headache, many worries followed, but the...

    Evaluation action

    "The King of War" is undoubtedly very beautiful in form, but in the narrative it is somewhat mediocre and flat. In this regard, Andrew's technique is limited and a bit green, but the classic lines and unique expressions are the highlights of the film  ( " Beijing Entertainment News" review) .
    From the perspective of underground arms dealers, "The King of War" describes weapons and the bloody crimes of weapon manufacturing, which is...

    Movie quotes

    • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] I think I've been cursed, with the curse of invincibility.

    • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] You can fight a lot of enemies and survive, but not your biology.

    • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating, after Vitaly and Andre Jr. were killed] I now shared even more in common with the leader of that country God seemed to have forsaken. We saw something in each other neither one of us liked, or maybe we were just looking in the mirror.
