TAKEN

This is another war film of pure men, no heroine, no supporting actress, full of strong ideology and war. The background of real historical events complements the theme of the film’s rescue of colleagues. Even now, Bosnia and Herzegovina is still one of the most unstable regions in the world, with wars and conflicts between races and races. The story to be told by the film unfolds in this context. The beginning of the film is a very classic air combat scene. The F18 Hornet fighters are on duty for reconnaissance missions. There are no offensive weapons on board. The very impressive scene is that the SAM missiles controlled by ground armed personnel launch missiles after locking the Hornet. Of this paragraph. F18 made various maneuvers and escapes in the air, but unfortunately it was hit by a second missile. When the plane was about to crash, the pilot opened the ejection escape device, and then the fuselage started the automatic self-destruction procedure. This part may be too HIGH for people who like war movies, and it shows many characteristics of American fighter planes. I remember that in the CCTV Military Observation Room program, experts from all walks of life discussed the plot of this section specifically to analyze the tactical performance of American fighter jets.

Of course, the attraction of this movie is not only the portrayal of the battle plot, but also the thrill of escape and rescue in the overall theme of the movie. This type of bridge can be said to be a classic storyline in the movie. The pilot flees all the way and the armed men chases and kills all the way. The overall context of the story gradually becomes clear. Of course, this kind of war film has the impression that it weakens the drama of the plot and the story, and even says that the plot of the story is as straightforward as a student's composition. However, the main group of people who like this kind of movies are military enthusiasts, and the depiction of war scenes is their main concern. Going deep behind enemy lines and the Black Hawk fall also have a feature that portrays modern war scenes to the extreme. Air combat, crash, sniper, and melee are all available. One of the most profound scenes in the film is the part where the pilot passes through the minefield. After the armed men chasing him hit the mine line, the row of mines detonated one after another, and the soldiers in the super slow-motion photo were shocked by the shock waves generated by the bombs. After flying and the smoke fell, the submachine gun in his hand was blown into a piece of scrap iron. Watching such a scene, if it were me before, I would find it too enjoyable to watch, but watching it now is a kind of fear of fighting and war.

The war movies made by the Americans, especially the main theme of the US military in the pure sense, are of course to portray the heroic image and spirit of the US military to the greatest extent, but a small detail in the film still makes people feel interesting. When the escaped pilot got on a militia truck, the child in the car gave it a bottle of Coca-Cola. Although the plot is very small, it can also feel a certain message the director wants to convey. In fact, not all countries or people in the world that oppose the United States hate the United States and hate everything in the United States. What they hope is just like the bottle of Coke that the kid gave to the pilot. The United States should bring the world to the world like Coca-Cola. Things are to bring things that meet their needs, not wars and pains.

Using TAKEN as the title is to illustrate an interesting thing. In Chinese war films, it is often seen that individuals choose self-sacrifice for the collective sake of self-sacrifice. In American films, it is often like this: In order to save one person at any cost.

Behind Enemy Lines quotes

  • Admiral Reigart: Our man is down behind enemy lines, now what the fuck is the problem?

    Admiral Piquet: [Yelling] Do you have any idea how much damage this incident may cause to the peace process?

    Admiral Reigart: All I know, Admiral, is that the American people want their pilot back.

    Admiral Piquet: Exactly! Americans, all you care about is your own damn pilots! What happens when the fighting starts again? Will America recommit its forces to stop a major war? No, you don't have any control over that little detail, do you? You might have helped save your man today, Reigart, and I emphasize 'might', but you risk the lives of thousands tomorrow.

    Chris Burnett: [Referring to Admiral Reigart] Did you see this? He put us on the holiday mission! God damn it!
