It makes me sick

I watched it with Crossing Over, which probably explains why I feel nauseated and nauseated. I don't see the brilliance of humanity, I see only false deceptions.

After reading the comments, I was a little surprised that so many children's shoes said yes. Or are my values ​​biased? Then I recommend everyone to watch Crossing Over before commenting on this hypocritical so-called human-first movie.

I have absolutely every reason to suspect that this is an American conscription film. The recruitment propaganda in the United States is carried out by some officers with perfect images, handsome and tall, and they are said to be well paid. Attracted a lot of hot-blooded teenagers, including my cousin. I once thought that when I joined the army, I could have both honor and benefits (such a good thing, why didn't the young men in the gossip girl go). Retirement also enjoys enviable benefits. It's actually a total scam. Going to Iraq, there is no guarantee other than getting a medal. The promised university scholarship was cut for no reason after one year.

I'm not angry either. But if you look closely at the film, you will see, as one of my feminist authority teachers put it, a film dominated by middle class whiteman. It is all about the kindness of humanity of their class. Actually, what is the difference between the Iraq War and the Japanese invasion of China in a sense. How would you feel if Japan made such a film with a war criminal at that time as the protagonist?

Everyone said that the film reflects the American respect for life and humanity. This isn't fake, it's really sensational. But has anyone thought about the lives of civilians in Iraq? Who will respect their lives? Americans only respect the lives they think should be respected. As for other people who are not related, they are definitely not as good as dogs.

Taking Chance quotes

  • 1st Lt. Dan Robertson (Chance Phelp's platoon commander): [voiceover, from his 09 April 2004 letter to the Phelps family] It's ironic, but I am certain that if the world had more men like Chance Phelps, there wouldn't be a need for a Marine Corps.

  • LtCol Mike Strobl: [voiceover] Chance Phelps was wearing his St. Christopher medal when he was killed on Good Friday. Eight days later, I handed the medallion to his mother. I watched them carry him the final fifteen yards. I felt that as long as he was still moving, he was somehow still alive. When they put him down in his grave, he'd stopped moving. I didn't know Chance Phelps before he died. But today, I miss him.
