      The old cloth is very handsome at this time~~~

      I seldom watch Lao Bu and Monica's films. When I watched Ring Messenger, I thought how old Bu is so old. I thought it was okay to watch Sun Tears. I was really young at that time.
      In fact, I didn't want to write a movie review here, although what I wrote is not really a movie review at all. You said that one can sing and dance while fleeing, and the American soldiers next to him are nervous, and you don't warn them to Quiet, to escape quietly, I really feel speechless, so the big movement...

      who is the savior

      There are many movies about Africa, such as "Blood Diamond", "Rwanda Hotel", "Black Hawk Down" and so on.
      But this one has a strong American plot.
      Among them, the US special forces are not only described as sympathizers, but also as saviors and victims.
      The article says at the end,
      "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
      The Americans in the film thus became good men.
       
      In recent history, the Ottoman Empire controlled...

      The value of life is equal to everyone here

      After being deceived by others to be bought by slave traders, the descendants of slaves returned to save the people who stayed in this land back then. All attacks are started in the name of protecting oneself.
              Whether it is nationalism, patriotism, or even religion, it is still an egoistic behavior based on a group. Between being hurt by others and hurting others, our selfish nature will drive us to choose the latter.
              Anger can never solve a problem, it can only create...

      I'm a jerk today

      Is it fun to sneak into the village where the female doctor is located, and suddenly two heads emerge from the water to deliberately frighten the water girl?

      The female doctor got on the plane, and the mission has been completed 99.99%. If you say a word, the plane will fly back to exchange passengers. Is the plane your toy? Did you pay for the driver? Just go back, can you put the female doctor at the center of the mission into the plane too? If you have to take a female doctor to...

      war humanity

      Bruce Willie's early war classics tell the story of the SEAL team rescuing an American female doctor in West Africa, and on the way they encountered Nigerian rebels slaughtering the poor. At the moment of humanitarian crisis, Captain Bruce Willie temporarily decided to use a meager military force. The story of saving these 70 refugees (including a chief son) and breaking through.
      In terms of the setting of values, it is similar to "Saving Private Ryan". It is a question of "whether the...

      I was so familiar with this kind of film that after the wild boar's comedic appearance, my heart began to tighten. After the vanguard said it was safe, I knew that he was going to be hit immediately, and sure enough. This one of Lao Mei's play is really too patterned. In addition, even in the 2003 film, those fireworks shows are too mentally...

      Although the beginning is always a woman's sensual drag and sabotage plan, the ending is usually touching because of this sensibility. The chivalrous spirit of the American soldiers turns into tenderness and tenderness, no matter how many war movies with the main theme you watch, they are as shocking~ Not to mention that they are all handsome. ....

      CHINA aids Africa, gives them money, sells weapons and builds factories. African people are still poor, wars are still young, and teenagers still pick up AKs. Travelers go to Africa and still hand over money to the army. What kind of government can save Africa, a place where God can't do anything about...

The special forces "Sea Leopard" commando secretly sneaked into this African jungle to rescue Dr. Lena. The team successfully found Lena, but Lena insisted that unless...

    Piercing lens

    1. When the two fighter-bombers took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier, it could be seen that there were no other weapons carried under the wings except for the auxiliary fuel tank, and when they flew to the battlefield, each aircraft was equipped with 6 missiles.
    2. The aircraft that the SEALs took before and after airborne were inconsistent.
    3. When the refugees were hiding in the bushes, there was a baby crying, but the baby...

    Evaluation action

    When the conflict in Iraq was in a state of anxiety, "Tears of the Sun" undoubtedly played the role of a US political propaganda film. The advantage of this film is not only in its plot and the successful rescue of the 19-year-old American female soldier Jessica Lynch on the battlefield in Iraq, which is fortunately roughly the same, but more importantly, the entire film The atmosphere and the main purpose of the expression are quite...
