Maldamon has never let me down~ From the beginning of the "Bourneage" trilogy to the current "Green Zone". I noticed this movie in a movie magazine a long time ago, and I knew that the background of the story was Iraq after the war. When I opened it, it was as expected. The sky was full of loess, and everyone was fully armed. The Bourne Bourne is still powerful, with firelight and gunfights, like any movie about the battlefield.

Perhaps because of the Middle East course, the relationship between the Middle East, which was very complicated for me, became clearer and clearer in this film. The main body of the story is not complicated. It is about an ordinary American soldier looking for an Iraqi launch The story of the truth of war. The non-commissioned officer played by Matt Damon thinks that there are really weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, but it turns out that this is just a hoax.

In fact, when we all thought that the US started the Iraq War to seize other people's oil, it may be funny to see Matt Damon's reaction: Are they really for the peace of mankind, the democracy and liberation of Iraq? Don't even mention it, maybe some American soldiers actually set foot on the battlefield in Iraq with such ideals in mind.

In any case, I saw that the US forces were split into two sides in the film, representing the lie faction of the US government and the faction of Sergeant Matt Damon and CIA agents representing the voice of the real soldiers; correspondingly, Iraq also has its own forces, Saada The number one general under Mu was not killed by American soldiers, but was shot and killed by Iraqis. Perhaps, although all wars are country-to-country wars, in fact, they still need to be specifically divided into various forces within the country. For example, when the Bush administration used lies to launch the Iraq War, and later did not find weapons of mass destruction, this became the little braids of the Democratic Party criticizing the Republican Party~

Politics is really complicated, and I did not expect it. The childish girl of the brainy youth comedy has grown into the person she is now. It’s hard to summarize what kind of person is, but I know that I would definitely not be able to watch such a film before and have so many thoughts~

There is also a topic that touches me very much, which is the professional ethics of journalists. The female reporter of the Washington Post in the film published fake news without verifying the authenticity of the news and helped the Bush administration to spread rumors. This approach can indeed push the Bush administration to launch this war, but what are they? Is it a government tool? Or is it the real power of public opinion that supervises the government? This is worth thinking about~

Finally, let's talk about the actors. Matt Damon is the biggest motivation for me to choose this drama and keep watching it. He didn't let me down. Well, I like his performance very much~ I don't want to analyze how well he acts. I like it, I like it. Still stubborn~
