Thoughts on "Siege of Yadauville"

Perhaps because of the long and strange name, this movie was ignored by people, but it is a great war movie that has been watched in recent years. Although the director’s debut feature film has flaws but no flaws, the temperament is very good. The first thing that can be commended is the true restoration of the tactics and weapons of the foreign military in the 1960s (forgive me for being a military fan). The explosion point is very good. The war scenes in the African grasslands are very interesting, although there are single scenes. Dislike. The reason for writing this film review in particular is because the film tells a little-known and profound true story about the growth history of the Irish United Nations peacekeeping force and how the United Nations gradually got rid of the control of great powers. A group of generations living in peace The soldiers were caught in a choice after the war. Ireland is a very weak country in the eyes of military fans. This small country is strictly neutral. It has escaped all wars including the two world wars. It is precisely because of this that it will choose peacekeeping forces from this country. The U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony and the secret plot of the United Nations put 160 Irish soldiers into trouble. There are many insights on the historical truth. Some people say that they are heroes, and some people say that they are cowards. What I want to say is that no matter whether they resist desperately before surrendering, they are still heroes. They left their hometowns for the peace of other countries and set up a foundation. The wishes of the international organizations soon changed the tradition of not fighting in the motherland. In any case, they are all worth remembering. The movie cannot accurately reflect the historical truth, but it can express real emotions and humanity in war. This film also indirectly reflects the growth of the United Nations, from the bud of hegemonic control to the only one in the world. It is precisely because of the foundation of these warriors that the United Nations has become the United Nations today, a truly responsible international organization for the peaceful development of all mankind.
