A not-so-good-looking anti-war film

The title of the film is Gears of War. The idea that the whole film wants to convey is the arrogance of the soldiers and the desire to fight for rights, making war a machine for his personal ambitions. When
I first watched the trailer, I thought it was a light-hearted way of talking. , I didn’t expect the
feature film to be nothing at all and not the seriousness and deepness of general war films, nor the ridicule and lightness I expected. The tone of the whole film can be said to be chaotic and inconsistent.
At the beginning, I spent some space to introduce the background of the war and McMahon. Hong and the people around him, but all of them were narrated through narration,
which can be said to be quite boring and hurriedly taken, making people completely unable to remember.
The only known McMahon is a general who is very strict with himself and is loved by his subordinates.
Bradley Pitt uses exaggerated facial expressions, gestures and rough voice to interpret this role. He is really impressed by this legendary general
. It may be quite interesting, but after watching too much, I feel tired,
and the hearts of the audience follow General McMahon’s ambition at the beginning, believing that he has the ability to improve the situation of the war. In
the end, he was frequently frustrated and frustrated by the reality of the war. I feel uncomfortable because of the development of face-to-face. The
film’s intention to satirize the war system is good, but it’s a pity that the story is not beautiful.
Just like the ending of the movie, your efforts are not in the right direction, so all your efforts are in vain.

    One star was given to Russell Crowe, who appeared in the last 30 seconds. After seeing him, I finally found this film interesting.

    ZF just wanted to be obedient and found an idealist who wanted to achieve his goals in life and was full of passion, but he had no choice but to carry it on his own. The final Russell Crowe appearance was hilarious.

War Machine quotes

  • Sean Cullen: I used to think that men went gray because they had stressful jobs with stressful decisions to make. Now, I think it happens when men start to feel in their bones that the great moments of their lives... might not turn out to be quite as great as they'd always hoped. When the real world starts creeping in. What separates the believers like Glen from everybody else is...

    [Glen salutes]

    Sean Cullen: their ability to block this real world out. Some people call this insanity.

  • Sean Cullen: [narrating] Wars aren't fought by nations or by armies. Wars are fought by men.

    Sean Cullen: There are two types of general in the American military. There are those who believe they can win in the face of all evidence to the contrary. And there are those who know they can't. Unfortunately for the world, it's the believers who climb to the top of the ladder. It's guys like Glen who get given the keys to the castle.
