      Protect Chance and redeem yourself

      It's been a long time since I saw a movie that moved me. The last time I saw tears was Philadelphia. After being busy for more than half a year, I can finally calm down and slowly savor the joys and sorrows brought by the movie.
      Taking chance is a very artistic name. On the one hand, it is the hero's protection of Chance, and on the other hand, it is not a hero's redemption of his own soul.
      The protagonist of the film, Colonel Mike, was a good Marine, but now serves as a comfortable...

      What else is there after the incitement...

      First of all, I have to admit that the respect for an ordinary soldier's life shown in the film really moved me, but after being moved, should I just stay at the emotional level and not do deeper rational thinking? Chance, a young life is gone, why should he not think deeply? Life is worth cherishing and respecting, no matter how glorious after death, I think most people will not choose death easily. Was he supposed to be enjoying youth, love, and the better things in the world at his age, and...

      Live without respect, die with respect!

      After watching the whole film, it is only 78 minutes, it is a powerful work.

      I have always been skeptical about Americans' feelings for life. On the one hand, they keep saying that they must respect human rights and guarantee equality. On the one hand, they are pointing fingers at other countries and looking down at them. This in itself creates a paradox.

      In fact, any country that can get it out on one hand has a bit of great power chauvinism, especially the United States!...

      dog day american theme

      After watching the film, the first title I gave after watching was "Nowhere to Place the Soul", because I come from a rural area. Whenever I see a town in the United States in the film, I will unconsciously associate with a town in China. In comparison, it is inevitable to have a little sigh. Thirty years of reform and opening up, no matter how successful China's urbanization may be, it cannot withstand the destruction and destruction of the civilization of towns and villages. Although I come...

      good movie

      I downloaded this film just because it had bilingual subtitles. With the attitude of learning English, I downloaded it to my hard drive. After a cursory browsing, I thought it was a rather boring literary film. When I think of literary films, I think of wet dreams. Literary and artistic youth like my sister, immediately let it stay in my mobile hard disk all the time.
          Last year in the United States, I clicked on this movie with the mentality of giving it a try. After 75 minutes, tears...

      Under the extremely simple plot, the director has contributed greatly to using the camera lens, soundtrack, and details to explain the touching and moving pictures that are not simple. Putting aside political stances, right or wrong in war, a country where life is respected is a truly complete and powerful...

    Evaluation action

    War is full of bloodshed and killing, and the blackness is shrouded in the cloud of death. As a parent, when a child is involved in a war, the most frightening thing is the knock on the door of a stranger. A few months ago, they also took the same plane to cross half the world to the battlefield for the "national interest". When they came, they stood up, but they had to lie down when they returned. They sacrificed for their country,...
