The most adorable martyrs develop a mind, and after reading it, there is an illusion that they are not bad why they become terrorists.

In the film, there are actually five protagonists, Omar, who has a happy family and leadership skills, the only one who committed suicide, Wye, the horse who was brainwashed by Omar, was shot and killed by the police, and Barry, who has super fanatical emotions and extreme personality, was killed by others. In the rescue, he accidentally touched the explosive device and hung up. Faisal, a funny but somewhat sad character, ran with the explosive device and tripped to death by a sheep. Hassan, the person who was brainwashed by Barry and joined the organization, finally She cowered and surrendered but Barry pressed the explosive device and died.

There is no cumbersome talk about why some of these Muslims aspire to become holy warriors and martyrs. At the beginning of the movie, they tried to make holy war videos with toy guns. Everyone had a lot of opinions. Well, not even a single video could be shot well. . Then Omar and Wye were invited to participate in training at the al-Qaeda in Pakistan. The training at the base was different from their imagination. They could not take video because the location would be revealed. Even the direction of worship was controlled. One day they saw low flying. The U.S. fighter jets fired them with artillery. Unexpectedly, the plane did not hit the base but killed the base. The two hurried back to the UK. On the British side, Barry, he recruited Hassan and worked with Faisal to build an explosive device. So the five of them conspired to bomb the Qingzheng Temple or some pharmacy. In the end, they chose the London Marathon as the target. Well, their ending ended as desired.

In fact, this is a serious topic, but what the film expresses is a comedic effect. Perhaps there is this so-called martyrdom in the culture and blood of Muslims. Even Omar’s children and wife believe that they are martyred. , The holy warrior is a glorious thing. But from the whole thing they conspired, the direction often changed. As a leader, Omar sometimes knew that he was wrong, but he still wanted to persuade others with arrogance. At the last moment, he wavered and wanted to surrender.

Actually, I don’t really understand. Why are 5 people called 4 lions? not understand well.
