      Short comment

      2007 American film "Excerpted Revision": At that time, pseudo-documentaries were very popular. At that time, few people really dared to shoot the Iraq War objectively. When these two points were combined, we saw this film. But what’s interesting is that almost all the successful pseudo-documentaries are actually things that don’t happen in reality, and when the subject matter is chosen for this inevitable but extremely realistic war in Iraq, it will make people feel that , It is...

      War, sex and news regulation

      I watched several films about the Iraq war in a row, "The Hurt Locker", "The Courier", and "The Escort of Chance". Since they are all about the Iraq war, I turned over my disc and will buy it a long time ago. I found out the "Excerpts and Revisions" that came, and it can be regarded as a small combination.

       

      However, there is a big difference between this film and the three above. The first three are all eulogizing American soldiers in terms of themes. The language of the...

      Hell cannot be sublimated

      First of all, from the perspective of a movie, this is definitely not a good movie. But we have to admire the director's courage to bring such a sensitive topic to the screen. Waiting for his future is as unpredictable as Iraq under his lens.

      The film describes the story of American soldiers serving in Iraq, focusing on the life of a unit. They live under immense pressure every day and experience many baptisms of death. The three episodes described in the film are precisely the issues...

      The war is bad

      I don’t know how to comment, because seeing the last scene of a real Iraqi scene with Puccini’s opera music, I was a bit unable to hold it and collapsed. The
      film is a little documentary style, imitating various scenes and different photography equipment, showing A piece of excerpts made up of a film. Although the character is not particularly full, but the cruelty of the war is a solid manifestation.
      9/11 is a tragic scene in human history, but how is Iraq not? The United States The...

      I don't know what you did in Iraq

      If you have just watched "Assembly Number" and you still like the war scenes filled with gunpowder, then you will basically not like this "Excerpted Revision"; if you happen to have watched "Lust Caution", and you are fighting for it The men and women of the period were very worried, so basically you don't need to read this "Excerpted Revision". It has nothing. Basically, it is almost the same as the academic documentary screened in class when I was in college.

      The protagonist of the...

      In 2007, DePalma won the best director at the Venice Film Festival for this film when his career was at a low point. It tells about the scandal of the rape and murder of a local girl by the US military on the Iraqi battlefield in 2006. It is said that the inspiration for the story of "Three Billboards" also came from this. In this film, the director gave up his iconic long-shot and split-screen performance methods, but cleverly connected the plot and promoted the progress through various...

    Movie plot

    An American soldier in the Second Gulf War decided to use a portable camera to film the beginning of life in the barracks. The soldier originally wanted to make an experimental film with this background as the material to apply for the film academy after the war. Unexpectedly, during this tentative shooting process, he saw pictures of cruel wars striking human nature from his own lens: soldiers at the checkpoint broke into a civilian...

    Background creation

    In order to shoot the film, Brian Russell De Palma personally excavated a large amount of historical facts and visited a number of war witnesses before writing the script. The film was shot in Jordan throughout the whole process. The conditions on the set were very difficult. In order to restore the background of the Second Gulf War to the greatest extent, the film had no intention of using light or color. It was recorded with dark...

    Evaluation action

    In the extremely experimental film, the daily life of a small unit of the US military stationed in Iraq tells about the tragedies that may be repeated every day. In terms of shooting methods, there are no restrictions on the form of image expression. There are TV reports of reporters following interviews, video diaries of young soldiers, and video images of network communication with family members, as well as various monitors and...
