      The power of hippie faith acupuncture

      Chinese martial arts master Wang Dafu once competed with someone and was touched. He was fine at the time and died 18 years later. The most terrifying thing about acupuncture is that he doesn't know when it will happen.

      Train a hippie way to train a power warrior, and what do you get in the end? Hippie cynicism.

      The real reality is probably that the country has a special agency that develops new concept weapons. I think of Liu Cixin's novel "Ball Lightning", which can be...

      We are so envious of crazy people and things

      This is a very hypocritical and nonsense movie, and the plot has developed towards unreliable from the beginning. From the time the major was seriously practicing wall penetration, we knew that this movie was quite a piece of crap.
      The New Earth Army, conquering the world with love and kindness, mind control, acupuncture, Force, Jedi Knights... The whole is a hodgepodge of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign strange forces. A pitiful little reporter who screwed up both his love and...

      Is this how America was fooled into going to war?

      From the beginning to the end of the film, it is the story of a young man who has failed in everything and starts to follow a self-proclaimed master who hits the wall everywhere after he feels that he cannot be worse.

      After reading it, I was largely confused.

      So I don't care if the movie is really understandable. In other words, I really saw what people wanted to show me. But after reading it, I feel that Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States is just as stupid as this...

      "Killing with the Eye": Ironing War with Abilities

      When I was reading, I read a curious book, listing some people in the world with special abilities, such as eye perspective, using senses to recognize objects, etc. The deepest impression is that you can use your mind to complete certain things by focusing your attention, such as pushing down a chair or moving a bottle, which can be done by your mind without direct contact. It is really enviable for a long time, although it was later revealed that many people cheated, but there must be some who...

      Look calmly, walk calmly.

      I feel that the performances of these big names are getting more and more calm now, and they no longer need to cry, make a lot of noise, and make their characters as plump as the palace ladies of the Tang Dynasty. It has to be said that the films that these actors participated in are the bronzing labels of "Impossible to Be Boring".

      The choice of story theme is good. War and special forces have always been popular and easy to show themes, such as "The Hurt Locker". However, the troops...

    Movie plot

    The reporter's Bob Wilton ( Ewan McGregor ) was looking for a sensational enough headline story, and then he met Lynn Casati ( George Clooney ) , who made a very impressive impression. Vague man, he claims to be a member of an experimental branch of the US military. According to Lynn, his New Earth Army is changing the way of warfare. There are many master-level warriors here. They have unprecedented spiritual power. Not only can they...

    Evaluation action

    The film’s comic-style entertainment satire has the function of pinpointing current malpractices, but the humorous target and the virtual focus of the topic ultimately fail to integrate all the elements ingeniously. There are too many scenes of excessive excessive force pretending to be foolish. In the powerful soundtrack, Cold jokes chilled the backs of the audience, and the comedic talents of George Clooney and Jeff Bridges were...

    Movie quotes

    • Bob Wilton: Bill? Lyn told me he didn't deserve this eagle feather. He wanted me to give it back to you.

      Bill Django: It's fake.

      Bob Wilton: What?

      Bill Django: This one's off a turkey.

    • Lyn Cassady: While recovering in the hospital, Bill wrote to the Vice Chief of Staff for the Army, explaining that he wanted to go on a fact-finding mission... to explore alternative combat tactics. The Pentagon agreed to pay his salary and expenses. What Bill hadn't told the Pentagon was that he was really looking for the answer to his vision. How could his men's gentleness, their general lack of interest in killing people, be turned into a strength? How could love and peace help win wars? Bill knew where to go to find out. Bill disappeared into the New Age Movement for six years.

      Lyn Cassady: [Continues talking while various images of Bill's experiences with New Age Movement are shown] Like all Shaman before him, he had traversed the wilderness. Now he was returning to his people, a changed man. He brought with him his confidential report, which he called: "The New Earth Army manual." The New Earth Army is a banner under which the forces of good can gather. The courage and nobility of the Warrior, blended with the spirituality of the Monk. The Jedi Warrior will follow in the footsteps of the great imagineers of the past: Jesus Christ, Lao Tse Tung, Walt Disney. The role of The New Earth Army is to resolve conflict world-wide. Jedis will parachute into war zones, utilizing sparkly eyes technique, carrying symbolic flowers and animals, playing indigenous music and words of peace...

      Bob Wilton: What's... What's the sparkly eyes technique?

    • Bill Django: The hooker thing is totally not true.
