The film was released shortly after Osama bin Laden was killed by the SEALs, so the public has a lot of attention. One of the highlights is that the leading actors in this film are all elite members of the genuine SEALs. I don’t know how much better it is than an actor who has only trained for a few weeks. Because of this, the cost of this film is less than 15 million US dollars. Since it is a genuine war film, the equipment and tactics used in it are also used by the Navy SEALs in reality.
Let’s talk about the plot first. The beginning of the film describes the rescue of a trapped CIA agent by a US Navy SEAL team. Then, during the rescue process, they accidentally discovered that terrorists wanted to use a high-tech suicide vest. The conspiracy to attack the United States. Those terrorists will enter from Mexico. In the end, the SEAL teamed up with the Mexican police to eliminate the terrorists at all costs.
Let’s take a look at the choices of the main characters. There are five main characters in this film, and they belong to one battle. In the group, they are teammates in wartime, friends in peacetime, and two of them are even friends of generations. Of course, as a war film, you can't live without tears. To put it bluntly, someone has to die. The film here uses a technique commonly used in domestic movies-highlighting that the person who is going to die is one of the generations. What is more sad is that his wife has just become pregnant, and he was ambushed at the last moment of the gunfight. Killed.
There are many touching things after this movie. When the prospective father left his wife, although the two appeared to be calm on the surface, when the door was closed, the wife slipped from the door to the ground sadly, just like General Grant said. In that way, "war is a manifestation of national interests, and there is no room for mercy at all. If you are unwilling to give everything, then you have already lost."
Of course, as a Hollywood blockbuster, it has a strong political color in accordance with the usual practice. The first is of course to show off its super military power. Going in and out of countries is like going to the toilet. The second is to highlight the importance of the United States on human rights. The third thing at all costs is to promote the country’s conscription and attract young people to join the army. In addition, this film also embodies the idea that human rights are superior to sovereignty in the United States. There is also an intriguing detail. When the SEALs assault the enemy’s last stronghold, the Mexican police always rush to the forefront. I am afraid that this is the United States to its allies. Attitude...
This film has a lot to learn from Chinese film. First of all, as a war-themed movie, its life lies in reality. On this point, the domestically produced movies are really not flattering. In the same war-themed movie "Ji Shi Attack", all the starring actors are basically unfamiliar with aircraft. What kind of ordinary actors know, even the most brilliant aerial combat part is made with extremely trash CG computer animation. After watching it, it reminds me of the "advanced weapons" and some grenades and The fighter planes of the 1970s, comparing these with the high-tech weapons of the SEALs, really chills us.
Both national defense construction and military-themed movies have an important purpose: to enhance citizens’ sense of security. As a world power, China should give its citizens the sense of security they need. However, national defense seems to be unpopular in China, and people will even pay attention to it. People who can't see their gender are unwilling to pay attention to national defense construction, which has added a lot of fake women in China. Not to mention what the government did. In the CCAV military, it can only share a channel with agriculture. Although both are the foundation of the country, it is incomprehensible when shopping has its own channel. China is always concerned about gains and losses when developing its military power, for fear that if it is stronger, it will wear the high profile of China's threat theory. In fact, it would be pathetic if a big country like China cannot pose any threat to the world.
Finally, I will end this article with the classic narration in this film, "A person should not spend his life in the shadow of death, love life, respect life, and try your best to serve your people in your life. When it comes time you should leave At all times, you will not be as restless as those with fear in their hearts, you will live a great, dead hero."
