      The praise is only due to the "anti-war" halo

      First of all, this is not a commercial blockbuster, so the scene can't be gorgeous, and there won't be many stunts. It can only take the psychological shocking route, so that the audience can feel the same, and get praise.
         In the film, the lives of these soldiers who come back to repair are a mess, ALL ARE STUFF AND FUCK THEMSEVS UP, but the selection of shots, transitions, etc., etc. are also bad, can the bad shots tell others that the war is bad? The battle scene at the beginning of...

      in the name of justice

      Listening to the news in the past two days, I saw on TV that American veterans were protesting at the gate of the White House against the United States' involvement in the war against Libya. Libya is rich in oil resources and is known as the oil depot of Europe because of its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.
             There is a saying in economics called the resource curse, which means that some countries seem to be blessed with abundant natural resources, but these natural resources have...

      The person responsible for your life is you, not me

      There may be such a person around everyone. He will try his best to make others serve him, but he will ask others for help when he finds troublesome things. At first most people will happily accept it, but if the person is completely oblivious to what is enough, and continues to change to Ben Galli's demands, it will naturally be disgusting.
          But what if this subject becomes a state. "I volunteered and completed 150 combat missions without complaint," Brandon said. But when I was about...

      A nightmare for young Americans

      Refuse to Fight is a story about U.S. service members stationed in Iraq to continue their service. After 9.11, the U.S. military successively launched wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and eradicated al-Qaeda and other terrorist forces, but it backfired. The social order of the previous regimes in these countries has been destroyed, anarchy, evils are bred, and the people are living in poverty. Many people, men, women and children, have taken up guns to defend the country. It often...

      What are you fighting for?

      After reading it, I believe many people will be moved.

      Compared with domestic war movies, there is no slogan, no heroism, no hero who is not afraid of death, and no wise leadership.

      There are only killings on the battlefield, manslaughter of civilians, ambushed by guerrillas, drinking after returning home, fighting, and deserting. It seems that all of them are negative plots, but they are so deeply rooted in people's hearts.

      Some may say he is a deserter, a coward....

    Evaluation action

    "Stop Loss" is a film based on the "Stop Loss" policy promulgated by the U.S. government, with the purpose of paying attention to the living environment of the U.S. military in the Iraq War. All American movies involving war or political themes did not perform well at the box office, probably because the American people were reluctant to touch this theme. Therefore, the film's low commercial value does not mean that the quality of the...
