      Doubtful war record

      Saw that movie called Salvador last night. How should I put it, it is a film made by Americans for Americans to watch. It is a mixture of blockbuster and niche documentaries 30 years ago before they completely parted ways. Just looking at the theme of the story is not even worth it. It's a film made for myself. It's nothing more than reflecting on the bad effects of the Vietnam War and mocking politicians and politics, although it has a dark and apocalyptic style, like 1984 and Gilliam's...

      Be humble.

      Good movies are always mixed, let them scold them, there is no political correctness here, only "objectivity" from a personal point of view. What is objectivity? Is it the non-Western-centric values ​​that those people call it? Come on, save your spit! Letting you take pictures also reflects your "non-non-Western-centrism" paranoia. Did you see how strong Maria was when she was raped? Have you seen the life and death of the frontline reporter? See how Stone takes handheld photography to the...

      'El Salvador': The Ruffian Stone's Paradox

      Whenever I hear Martin Luther King's impassioned "I have a dream" speech, I always think of those unreliable dreams that I made up when I was a child in response to the teacher's questions, such as becoming an astronaut in the future. members, scientists, war correspondents, and even state presidents. Looking at me from our standpoint today, I will be amazed. I began to think about whether the world has changed or I have changed. The final conclusion of my thinking is that I began to become the...

      great lens control

      1. I don't like movies with so many themes. Treasure hunting adventure theme, magic theme, same-sex theme, political theme. Among them, the political theme is the least favorite. 2. Therefore, I have never seen any of Oliver Stone, a political film expert, in my memory. I watched "El Salvador" today, and I felt it was okay. 3. What impresses me most about the film is that the use of the camera lens has reached its peak. This film has too many chaotic and melee scenes, and I...

      one of the best war movies

      Some people say this is the best war movie, I reconsider, but be conservative and add one.
      War movies are more important than reality, but reality is not the kind of bombs that fly with flesh and blood (I rely on Oliver Stone to shoot super well), nor is it the kind in Stone's own "Born on the Fourth of July" (Of course I never count Born on the Fourth of July and Heaven and Earth as war movies). The cruelty of the war in "El Salvador" is not just about how the common people in the...

      Politics in any form is ugly, and even the American spirit that represents "democracy, freedom and human rights", which is self-proclaimed as a universal value, is only practiced by very few people (the two war correspondents in the film), this film seems to be Oliver . Stone dedicated to his father, once again pay tribute to the two war correspondents in the film who brought the truth to the world with their...

      Mr. Oliver Stone did not let the United States go to the end of the film. The keynote of the film is to critically ask whether the United States has become an accomplice in the so-called check and balance in its domestic foreign policy without going deep into the...

      I have seen a lot of war correspondent films, and I am often suspicious of their existence value, maybe it is just to satisfy people who are in peace and spy on the bloody consumption...
