Speaking of Scott Anderson, he has been in Beirut, Northern Ireland, Chechnya, Israel, Sudan, Bosnia, El Salvador... wherever there is war, he is there. He is sharp in writing and extremely humorous. He is a special contributor to magazines such as "New York Times", "Vanity Fair", "Mr. Vogue", "Harper", "Outdoor", etc. His one novel and two documentary literature are extremely popular. Praise, the Triage movie is being filmed, starring Colin Farrell.
The Hunting Party has a unique perspective, a large amount of information, and rich levels:
1. Under the pressure of the United States and NATO in 1996, Karadzic (nicknamed the fox, he is more cunning than foxes, he likes hunting foxes, he eats foxes when he’s hungry) Meat) resigned from Bosnia-Herzegovina Serb president and will not participate in the general election. However, he still holds the post of chairman of the Serb Democratic Party, which is the ruling party and the founder, the soul and national symbol of the Serbs.
2. The Hague court charged Karadzic with two crimes of ethnic cleansing and against humanity, and was directly responsible for the killing of 7,500 Muslim civilians in Srebrenica. This is considered to be the most serious incident in Europe after World War II. The brutal massacre.
3. In addition to the Hague, NATO multinational forces, and the United Nations wanted Karadzic, the United States is offering a reward of 5 million U.S. dollars.
4. The United States and other countries have stated that if Karadzic does not withdraw from the political arena for a day, it means that the Serbs have not fully implemented the peace agreement and that they will impose stricter economic sanctions on the Yugoslav Federation.
5. Although the government at that time did not want to be sanctioned again, it could not easily make concessions on the political fate of Karadzic, because doing so would be strongly opposed by the Yugoslav Federation and the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and faced great political challenges. risk.
6. In 2000 (the film moved the story back to this year), 20,000 peacekeepers and bounty hunters from all over the world searched the 50,000 square kilometers of land for 5 years. The U.S. special forces also took the Karadzic home. After digging out his cesspool several times, Karadzic has been running away.
7. At this time, a few war reporters took advantage of the wine and decided to grab Karadzic and get the big prize.
8. They discovered that although the Serbs love Karadzic, they will not shoot you because you want to catch him. They will shoot you only if you owe alcohol and money... The UN police chief has no wanted list because the photocopier is broken... …The U.S. government issued a full-page wanted order in the Bosnian newspaper, but the reporting hotline 1-800 can only be dialed from within the U.S... While staring, American special forces rushed in and repatriated them.
9. In fact, the United Nations...especially France did not want to catch Karadzic at all. He killed them all before they were happy, so it would save money and effort. The British secretly support Karadzic, but of course they will not admit it publicly when they die. The Americans made a peace agreement, but some people said that they reached a deal with Karadzic, and as long as he completely withdrew from the political arena, he would not be sent to court.
10. So the whole film is about how a few reporters discovered such a conspiracy blindly and deadly. The report was written in 1996, but the following news confirmed the rationality of the conspiracy theory:
11. In 2004, Mrs. Karadzic stated that in 1996, Karadzic reached an agreement with the then U.S. envoy if Karadzic resigned from the Serbs As the president of the Republic and the chairman of the Serb Democratic Party, the United States will no longer hold him accountable in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
12. In 2004, U.S. Secretary of State Powell announced that Serbia and Montenegro would stop providing assistance to Serbia and Montenegro of 23 million U.S. dollars that year because Serbia and Montenegro failed to fulfill their obligations to cooperate with The Hague International Tribunal.
13. More than ten years have passed, and the official arrests are still going on. Karadzic is not idle. After hunting, he has published an autobiographical romance novel (Saddam is also good), a The script and five collections of poems, one of which is written specifically for children. The U.S. State Department said that as long as Karadzic can be caught, "the U.S. government will be very happy to help promote his collection of poems." Assuming that Europe and the United States are willing to build a theater for him... Will he show up and cut the ribbon?
The title is Hunting Party, because Karadzic likes hunting foxes, and on the surface, European and American officials are hunting him. When you dare to hunt him, European and American governments and organizations will hunt you.
This movie clearly explained such complicated historical events between the push of the cup and the change, and it gimmickly expressed its attitude. It is already a good first-class movie. Politics is a large
gray area, and it is difficult to choose a black-and-white stance due to the entanglement of interests.
Therefore, I like this kind of black humor with a smile.
Of course, there are flaws in the film. For example, finally catching Karadzic and putting it in the Muslim area is superfluous, which was added by the director himself.
Someone boycotted this movie because of Richard Gere. Haha, I am very considerate of the actors and require them to have the knowledge of Liang Wendao. Isn't that the professor's job? Actors? Only those who can provide entertainment on the screen and provide jokes off the screen are people in the entertainment industry.
Some people are dissatisfied that the political stance of this film is not serious and clear, but the CIA in the film also let go, "If you dare to report, you will be locked up in a prison in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a lifetime."
Some people feel that the protagonist does not fit the tall image of a war reporter. I think it's very real, because they are willing to chase danger. If they don't use self-deprecating to defuse the madness of hanging by a thread, how long can they do it? The reporter in the film said: "When I was a kid, I always used lucky charms to seek good luck. On the battlefield, my lucky charms were frozen beer and pornographic magazines. I had two cups, warm and fragrant nephrite, and nothing happened. People always say war. But if you are a war correspondent, war also has its bright side. I know that saying that offends the sense of justice of many people, but being so close to death and lucky to be alive, how can you not find pleasure all night?"
Just as The screenwriter and director Richard Shepard said: "The most bizarre part of the film is real." By the way, he also choreographed The Matador, which is also very beautiful.
