      Wandering between the normal and the abnormal, those movies that were not released on the mainland, "Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot"

      Based on Kim Barker's memoir "The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan", she was a war correspondent at the time. This film mainly shows the life of a group of war correspondents in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, from 2004 to 2006. The genre of the film is classified as war/comedy, how do you look at these two genres of the film. First of all, "Whiskey, Tango, and Foxtrot" is not a war movie, it can only be said that the war is used as the time and place background of...

      War comedy with a somewhat vague positioning.

      As someone who likes Tina Fey, it’s very happy to see this film on the plane, and there are also Harley Quinn and Watson joining. How do you say this film, it is very difficult to shoot, the subject matter is sensitive, and the profession of war reporter is too much. Too serious, the whole film also swayed between the documentary emotional drama comedy, and finally ended in a staggering way, but this can be regarded as an analogy of the United States' process in the Middle East over the past...

      wtf

      7 points. The main story is the workplace story of white American women, but this story has a certain degree of multi-faceted expression of such a war on terrorism. The constant details in the story in the movie are pretty good. In a country where war is raging, although the sound of bullets can be heard, the director handles it in a relaxed and humorous way. It is better to move forward if you have no choice. From the perspective of the heroine, the story is still well grasped. The heroine's...

      Three and a half stars, the first half looks good, but the back is not so attractive. It's quite satisfactory, I really like the feeling the movie gave me at the beginning, it's...

      The theme is particularly vague, and everything wants to express a little, but nothing expresses a sense of complete mediocrity. In addition, this film really speaks the accents of various English-speaking...

      Lt. Stern: I'm a big fan of the movie Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger. We're the same height.

    • Kim Baker: It's probably just a wedding somewhere nearby. They like to shoot off guns at weddings here. You get it, you're from Florida.

    • Tanya Vanderpoel: Can I fuck your security guys?

      Kim Baker: What?... By all means, yeah.

      Tanya Vanderpoel: Yeah? I mean, I wouldn't ask. It's just that for some reason, the VBC use an American contractor and, I mean, no offense, but they're all, like goatees and "fat-strong".
