      Syrna's Chess Game

      Oil well workers, CIA agents, Middle Eastern princes, American dignitaries and oil giants, Chinese state-owned enterprises, economic analysts, a series of seemingly unrelated roles are linked together by an oil well bidding event. This is a game of chess. The players are undoubtedly Chinese state-owned enterprises, American dignitaries and oil giants (the two are actually closely related, and they can be regarded as one operator and one trailer), as well as the princes of the Middle East....

      how to rule the world

      Southpark had an episode about hybridcar, in which he made fun of George Clooney, saying he felt too good about himself. I'm sure everyone who's seen a nespresso ad will agree with that. But this time, Mr. Clooney may feel too good about himself, so he dared to shoot something like syriana that contradicts the main theme, and it is no wonder that the film did not sell well.

      Matte Damon will not say. Every action movie actor seems to be relentlessly trying to erase the 'action star'...

      I haven't read it yet, but I understand

      Recently, I was reading "Zuo Ju", a book about futures. In addition, the situation between China and Japan has become increasingly tense. I chose this movie at night. Several clues came together. I have not waited for the four lines to overlap. Because I know what will happen next.

      Maybe many friends with high scores are more interested in this type of subject and feel that it is unusual. But recently, I have been tired of this genre, and I want to see simple themes. Both business and...

      Robert Baer & Syriana

      I've seen Syriaa for a long time.

      It's a very coincidental opportunity to see some related behind-the-scenes stories. Here, share it.

      There are two playwrights: Robert Baer and Stephen Gaghan.

      Stephen Gaghan is a professional screenwriter, and Robert Baer is a former CIA front-line agent.

      Robert Baer has worked in the CIA for 20 years, mostly in Islamic countries. It can be said that the root causes of conflicts and terrorists in the Middle East can be...

      Don't take the movie for real!

      I have seen several popular reviews of this film, and some words are unpleasant! Movies make up stories, but some people take the stories as real, and draw a lot of "reasons" and "perceptions" from them, which is really annoying and laughable. The United States is no better than the mainland. If you shoot those fake films that are popular and special, not only will no one watch them, but they will also have bad reviews. Therefore, some second-rate directors in the United States always like to...

      The problems of the United States & the Middle East have been chewed up to the limit, but this piece of shit has made such a masterpiece in which interest groups tore each other and kill without blood. The huge amount of information and the suppressed editing make this film stand out among similar themes. The mainstream of the world is still the third...

      The United States cannot compete with China in its oil and natural gas resources in a country in the Middle East, so it supported the little prince and assassinated the eldest prince, while the eldest prince received an Oxford education and wanted to change the country, liberate women, become a democratic country, and cooperate with China. After the Grand Prince's convoy was bombed by missiles, the terrorists also happened to commit suicide bombing attacks on the American oil port where the...

    Clooney showed off his acting skills in "Sirena", relying entirely on his facial features and body movements to interpret the character's inner activities. The "cream niche" and "female killer" in the previous romance drama were completely gone and replaced. Is the image of a professional agent (Sina Entertainment Review)   .

    Movie quotes

    • Bob Barnes: I want you to take him from his hotel, drug him, put him in the front of a car, and run a truck into it at 50 mph.

    • Bryan Woodman: But what do you need a financial advisor for? Twenty years ago you had the highest Gross National Product in the world, now you're tied with Albania. Your second largest export is secondhand goods, closely followed by dates which you're losing five cents a pound on... You know what the business community thinks of you? They think that a hundred years ago you were living in tents out here in the desert chopping each other's heads off and that's where you'll be in another hundred years, so, yes, on behalf of my firm I accept your money.

    • Bryan Woodman: Do you understand what that means, it's like someone put a giant ATM on our front lawn.

      Julie Woodman: Here's a question. How do you think it looks to profit off the death of your six year old?
