      Oscars awarded to such a so-called "documentary" with too many one star?

      The “documentary” that was too bad to be bad was not shot from an objective and fair angle at all, and most of the content was shot. It is not ruled out that a small number of members are really saving the wounded, but an organization that floods the terrorists to rescue the wounded? Well, I didn't even choose the right actors. The film and this organization are both propaganda tools used by a few Western countries to discredit the Syrian government and Russia in order to achieve...

      The "White Helmet" wants to run to the master, the United States said: Don't need one!

      There is a saying in "Historical Records: The Family of the Yue King Goujian": Cunning rabbits die, running dogs cook.

        The "White Helmet" organization plays the role of running dogs in Syria, but the cunning rabbit is not dead, and the Assad regime is preparing to rebuild Syria on a large scale.

        Seven years of turmoil and wars have turned this once stable and wealthy small country in the Middle East into a hell on earth.

      The white helmet selling human organs was made into a touching Oscar best documentary short film, no matter how it feels like a joke of the century

      The white helmet that sells human organs was made into a touching Oscar's best documentary short film, no matter how it feels like a joke of the century.

      In fact, it is too much. White Helmet has been reported to the United Nations for allegedly trafficking in human organs in Syria. It can be made into an Acura documentary by a British director, and won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film. The western film industry and Oscars can have no lower limit. This film shows that not all...

      Even saints have shortcomings

      For us, this is just a documentary, and for some people in the commentary, it is just a colorful fake documentary. I think no matter what the position is, there is nothing wrong with trying to save lives. The number of people who may have been killed in battle is just a number for us, but for them it is a series of lives with memories. We cannot determine the value of a person's life based on a person's views or political inclination. It is impossible to fight war with one person's power. In...

      Posing a shot

      1. This film has been full of controversy from the moment it came out to the attack on Oscars. As an Oscar for the best documentary short film award, all kinds of black history have been dug up. This organization called the "White Helmet", on the surface, has rescued the dead and wounded in various parts of Syria. In fact, it is only a propaganda tool of certain forces in Turkey, IS, and the United States. Most of the shots are made in poses, so they are nicknamed the Oscars for the best poses....

      The traces of plate reading and posing are too heavy. Even if you get the Oscar, I have to say: Documentaries that do not abide by neutrality are a tool for propaganda. This White Helmet organization is solely for the anti-government army. There have been many fraud scandals. Behind it is the shadow of the "humanitarian intervention" of the United Kingdom and the United...

      It turned out to be another Oscar-nominated live-action short film. It feels like shooting and editing are a bit sloppy, but the topicality and cruelty of the reality are very high. I really hate this kind of attack on civilians, which makes the originally ugly war more anti-human; the magic is that there is such an organization that emerged at the historic moment, the equipment is simple but the response is quick, the key is to really do things, they let I am even more aware that these people...
