Humor is very personal

I don’t like to label movies. I also put labels on artistic creation. If it is a literary movie, it must be dull. If it is a science fiction movie, it must be a fantasy or a war movie. This film is the same, everyone can understand it by themselves, but the biggest feature is the black humor. As for whether it is funny or not, I laughed to death anyway, almost never stopped from beginning to end.

Of course, personal laughter requires fate, especially humor. Scientific research has shown that the actual effect of humor is closely related to the audience’s living environment, cultural customs, and language background. It is very possible that a joke that makes Beijingers laugh so much that their stomach hurts will be brought to Shanghai. It's totally useless. So I just want to say that this show is actually very useful and funny to a certain group of people. . .

I would also like to say a few words about the main line of the story. Many comments like to say that the protagonist is vilified and the screenwriter tends to be leftist. But can you calm down and take a look at the biggest feature of this show?

That's funny. Pete's exaggerated performance is also very clear. It's like saying that you can't take the stage in a drama mode, so the whole show can't take the superficial phenomenon seriously.

Its core is: the core of modern warfare is mixed with political private interests, the battle for national resources, and various influences in other fields. Even if I set you up with the most perfect and well-meaning general, the war will also The same will be a mess, because no one cares about this guise at all, what should the big people do, and the little ones should rush to the street.

Although it looks a little cliche and silly on the whole, it doesn't mind that much since I laughed happily.

War Machine quotes

  • Gen. Glen McMahon: Let's say you have ten insurgents. Huh? Now, let's say you kill two of 'em. Now, how many insurgents do you have left? Hmm? Hmm? Well, you'd say eight, of course. Eight. Right? Right? Wrong! In this scenario, ten minus two equals 20. Let's say the two insurgents you just killed, uh... each had six friends or brothers or some such, who are hovering on the brink of... of joining the insurgency. They're thinking about this insurgency thing. "Looks interesting. But, you know, for one reason or other, not for me." But... So, then you go and kill their friend. Now you've just made up their minds for 'em. Those hovering friends are now full, paid-up members of the enemy. Yeah. And so, in the math of counterinsurgency, ten minus two... equals 20.

  • Gen. Glen McMahon: I don't think it really matters who leaked the assessment. Question is, what are we gonna do about it. I wanna do the 60 Minutes interview.

    Simon Ball: Sir, as your senior PAO, I must counsel strongly against it. It would be foolhardy. I really don't think now is the time to court media attention. At the very moment, allegations are being made that you leaked this report yourself.

    Gen. Glen McMahon: I'm choosing to embrace the leak, Simon. I don't seem to be getting any traction. Do you know what I'm saying? Traction? We got ourselves a president who appears not to be aware of the fact that the United States is at war right now and he is that war's commander-in-chief. I gotta get me some traction.

    Matt Little: You need cut through.

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Exactly! Cut through... You need to get me some goddamn cut through.

    Simon Ball: I can handle that for you, sir.

    Matt Little: Sorry, no offense, Simon; how exactly are you gonna do that?

    Simon Ball: I'll quieten this whole situation down.

    Matt Little: Again, I'm sorry, I don't start a fight here; and please forgive me for speaking for you, sir, but the general didn't hire me to make things quiet, ok? Look, you're so good at your job, but that job is basically writing press releases. Here's the thing about press releases: nobody reads them. Ok? They are boring. And they are bullshit. And everyone knows they're bullshit. Correct me if I am wrong, but you hired me to make some noise. You know, the right kind of noise - our noise.
