The only thing neccessary for the triumph of wvil is for good men to do nothing
Nigerian political upheaval, usurpers to slaughter their own infidels, a brutal ethnic cleansing begins... American GIs are tasked with rescuing in this country An American doctor who is obligated to be a doctor. Originally it was a simple task, so the movie could be finished in 20 minutes, but the leader of the team in this operation, after witnessing the cruelty of the rebels, resolutely made the helicopter turn around and let the old man and the child sit. Getting on the plane, and while waiting for the rescue plane to land again, they have to walk through the forest on foot, and on the other hand, they have to fight against the pressing danger...


When they saw the scenes of the rebels brutally killing innocent people, they felt in their hearts. I was entangled tightly. It was introduced in the film that this was ethnic cleansing. When I looked at it, I unconsciously thought of the period of the Anti-Japanese War, um... I took the topic away, but every time I see this kind of war film, The first thing that comes to my mind is our war of resistance. If I think about other wars, no matter how inhumane they are, they are nothing but the actions of the Japanese army back then... Don't forget the national humiliation! Far too far, back to the movie, but the sense of justice of the American soldiers, especially the second lieutenant, also moved us. There are dangers ahead, there are spies in the team, the base camp in the rear does not support, there are many difficulties, but our second lieutenant and his The troops still survived a little bit, the standard American hero!


In the last battle, the rebels caught up. The scene was spectacular but tragic. Brothers died one after another. However, the retreat method adopted by the US military, that is, the retreat method of Hell Fire (Hell Fire) was quite fun. The number of rebels accounted for Absolute advantage, and at this time, a helicopter finally came to the rescue in the distance, and then in just a few seconds, the battle was over, but the helicopter dropped some bombs below, but if it started, the US military can send planes. Rescue, then things will be much simpler. Does this film also want to use this to satirize the military foreign policy of the US military?
But in the film, the second lieutenant's bravery and prudence, and his righteous deeds after seeing the brutal actions of the rebels, are so deeply appealing to me. Everyone in the team has this sense of justice. When the second lieutenant told them that the superior's order was to let them not care about so many things, they also firmly wanted to follow the second lieutenant to take these refugees away from this dangerous place.


In today's society, although there are no major wars, there are still turmoils, wars, etc. between many regions and within the country. This is something that those of us who have been in a state of peace for a long time cannot understand and feel, but through the film, we You can follow these people and go to the center of the war to have a look, to feel its cruelty, to accuse the ruthlessness of the war, and at the same time to cherish the happy life today. But ah~~ think about it carefully, that war was not caused by human greed...


But think about it, the most thought-provoking thing in this film is the last sentence.
