12 Monkey's Pete is here

The whole film reveals a twist from the inside to the outside, and even the music enters it reveals a weirdness. Pete's performance reminds me of 12 monkeys.

But, I really like this film. The high degree of completion, the absurd irony contains the serious essence. However, the portrayal of the local people in Afghanistan did fail, but it also promoted the progress of the plot.

This movie makes people who want to watch comedy, war, politics, and plot absolutely disappointed. However, it is a movie worth watching, at least, much better than domestic movies. I don't know why the score is so low. Appreciate the director's humor.

    Satire, cover, music, ending

    Trying to use black humor to tell the quagmire of the US military in Afghanistan, but not enough black and humorous enough. Pitt tried to recreate his image as a soldier in the shameless bastard, but was unsuccessful. Whether it’s Afghanistan or Iraq, politicians use their mouths and soldiers run and break their legs, but the result will always be ugly. Vietnam has long been forgotten by them.

War Machine quotes

  • President Karzai: Your predecessor, General Whelan! I liked him! I'm not entirely certain he liked *me*; he didn't visit very often. Why was he dismissed? It seems- uhh, one minute he was here- uh, next minute, not here.

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Ah. Well, Mr. President, I think our government simply felt it was time our effort took a new direction.

    President Karzai: And uh, what is this new direction?

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Ah! It's most important to me that we *build* Afghanistan. Together, we build Afghanistan into a free and prosperous nation, free from fear and conflict.

    President Karzai: I see.

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Yeah.

    President Karzai: I see. Sounds a lot like the *old* direction.

  • Gen. Glen McMahon: God damn it, Pete. Why are you fat?
