      Film review, War Machine, inexplicable "anti-war" film

      I've downloaded a number of Netflix movies recently, and they've been mixed. Some movies are rich and thought-provoking; some movies are boring and boring; The "Gear of War" that I'm introducing today is the third category I mentioned earlier - "the second monk is puzzled".


      War Machine (Chinese translation "War Machine"), adapted from the late journalist Michael Hastings' best-selling book "The...

      Why are people who do dirty work always laughed at? Not kind

      5 points, first of all, on the issue of war and aggression, Hollywood's three-point consensus is still too superficial: because the current local wars are against the most ignorant group of religious fanatics, so from a strategic perspective: the United States, this Through local wars, the world police is actually promoting the growth and elimination of world contradictions. For most of the people on earth, this is what keeps them from falling into a world war. The idiot and rude of the old...

      The kindness of the aggressor is limited - no resistance is allowed

      When I saw the title of the film, I thought it would be a hot war action movie. I was mentally prepared to shake the camera, but I didn't expect it to be a literary film, and it was a biography. Since it is a biography, I must Baidu to find out about this person. Compared with the film, the prototype of the character is the highest commander of the US military in Afghanistan, a four-star general, who worked in Afghanistan for four years, and came out of the stage. Some of his ideas are also...

      What Pete shows you is blunt

      At first I felt that the Afghan War treats the U.S. military equally, just like Iraq. At the beginning, I was shocked by the little soldier. I doubted the war: I am a Marine, I was trained to kill people, and now I am going to award medals. Let me refrain from killing, I confused. Yeah, how many soldiers lost themselves in that place. Peaceful times are indeed the most painful for soldiers. Besides, you can't tell who is the enemy at all. Jumping out of the war, General has been paralyzing...

      The things you want to express in this film can be summarized in the following two main contents and ten small points

      What the film wants to express can be summarized in the following two main contents and ten small points:

      1. The U.S. government and military are stupid, not only stupid, but also extremely arrogant: 1) The United States, from politicians to military officers, is living in the dream of "America is invincible, sending democracy, freedom and peace to the savage and backward areas", and I didn’t want to wake up from death, and totally refused to admit that I...

      Nephi's drama may be a bit protracted considering that it is on TV. The whole article doesn't have much highlights. The protagonist and his team have obvious personalities but no in-depth analysis. They start directly from the war and end the war. More like a large introspective war...

      bad movie. The content is anti-war, and I want to play a black humor of war and politics, and neither end of the film will land. Pete winked and winked the whole time, mumbling to imitate his accent, wondering if he wanted to imitate Marlon Brando as his godfather. The beginning was barely enough, with a few lukewarm jokes like tickling the...

    Evaluation action

    In the film "War Machine", Mishaud used a lot of funny and weird narration to show the absurdity of the story. At the same time, the soundtrack created by composers Nick Cave and Warren Ellis also added a lot to the film. In the film, Pete's husky, low, short Midwest accent, straight and stiff running posture, and solemn and harmonious eyes all present an embarrassing and deliberate artistic beauty. His performance even seemed a little...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Sean Cullen: [voiceover] Ah, America. You beacon of composure and proportionate response, you bringer of calm and goodness to the world... What do you do when the war you're fighting just can't possibly be won in any meaningful sense? Well, obviously, you sack the guy not winning it and you bring in some other guy. In 2009, that war was Afghanistan, and that other guy... was Glen.

    • Gen. Glen McMahon: General.

      [shakes his hand]

      British Officer: We're all... very excited to see you here; it's an honor to meet you.

      Gen. Glen McMahon: I'm excited to be here. Ain't that right, Greg?

      Greg Pulver: Yes indeed, sir, you're very excited.

    • Gen. Glen McMahon: [to the group of marines] I've spent the last week or so talking to guys who I would call middle management, but you boys are at the coal face. After all the blah blah blah, *you* boys are actually where it happens. I'd go so far as to say you boys are the only thing that counts. If it doesn't happen here, it doesn't happen, end of story.

      [to Billy, who raises his hand]

      Gen. Glen McMahon: Yes son?

      Cpl. Billy Cole: If what doesn't happen, sir?

      Gen. Glen McMahon: *It*, son.

      Cpl. Billy Cole: Okay, thank you, sir.

      Gen. Glen McMahon: Does anyone here know what "it" is? Anyone?

      [silence]

      Gen. Glen McMahon: *Any* one?

      [points to Ricky who's raised his hand]

      Ricky Ortega: To- uh, secure the area, sir? To protect the people from the enemy so they can go about building their lives.

      Gen. Glen McMahon: Okay. O-kay. Thank you, Sarge.

      Cpl. Billy Cole: Okay, but I can't tell the difference between the people and the enemy. They all look alike to me. I'm sure they're the same people, sir.
