I really didn't recognize Leonardo DiCaprio at first. Maybe I haven't seen the relationship between "Blood Diamond", and my impression of him is still on the little white face in "Titanic" more than ten years ago. , All of a sudden it is difficult to accept his vicissitudes of life with a beard.

I like this movie very much, and I like the director's attitude in making the film. From beginning to end, he is laughing at the idea of ​​American bigwigs. Whether it is the calm, resolute and resolute front-line agent Leonardo, or Russell, the bureaucratic and cunning mastermind behind the scenes, he is completely vulnerable in front of the Jordanian intelligence chief Hani. Whether Google Earth or GPS, no matter how advanced a scientific weapon is, it is useless to monitor the vegetable market and go to the Middle East to "counter terrorism". The new handsome American guy was defeated by the old British gentleman, and the Muslim beauty easily captured the heart of the American CIA.

Another likable reason for the movie is the use of its lenses. It is undoubtedly the right choice to make people dizzy without using montage to switch quickly. The action scenes are short and concise, and the handling is neat and neat. The picture shakes at close range, which is very real The sense of presence seems to let the audience follow the agents to experience the baptism of gunpowder smoke.

There are many scenes of Russell taking children to school in the movie, which creates a visual and psychological contrast with the tense situation in the Middle East. The worst is for those in the Middle East. It is death to engage in terrorist activities. Do not escape the bad luck of killing and looting.

It is rare to like a movie not because the story is good, nor because the actors are good. But there is one thing that is not good, the title of the film is simply unintelligible.

Body of Lies quotes

  • Ed Hoffman: It is a fallacy that prolonged war will weaken an occupied enemy. It most likely will make your enemy stronger.

  • Ed Hoffman: See, what's changed is that our allegedly unsophisticated enemy has caughten on to the factually unsophisticated truth - we're an easy target. We are an *easy* target. And our world as we know it is a lot simpler to put to an end than you might think. We take our foot off the throat of this enemy for one minute, and our world changes completely.
