There is a somewhat preference for the subject of war.
The first person who seemed to appear in the cast at the beginning of the movie broke his hand with the door of the Hummer. Well, this is a young man with a story. The guy with the story has a nice face, and the guy with the story is destined to be the leading role.
Usually there are several types of US military lads in movies: smart boys with the protagonist's halo-appearing in the army for various reasons, without enthusiasm, nor blood, and can't die under the halo of the protagonist. , Help others to die; soy sauce hot-blooded muscular man-this seems to be standard, white boys with big muscles are like blonde white beauties, the probability of receiving a bento is always higher than others; long-winded The black guy-comes with background sound and special effects. Whenever he sees black people, he always feels that he will start dancing in the next second. This is likely to be a big chess game played by the evil Caucasian; the calm old westerner Big brother-it is no different from an ordinary big brother, but he will cover you while watching you. Usually, he will have a face of scum in order to show his masculinity and conviction, so that he has the opportunity to lead the younger brother to clear the level. The scene of the beard conveys the coming of a new day. The actor with a story in "Sand Castle" joined the army in order to earn college tuition, was sent to Iraq, and arrived in Iraq after 9/11. He was an untypically clever boy, and Nicholas Holt was really witty. Unlike the other friends in the group, Nizi really didn't want to fight.
The protagonist’s team was sent to deliver water by the head of the big brother when he was about to return to China. It feels inexplicably like a Spanish movie "Perfect Day", and feels that this will be a flag all the time. Don’t be blown up. Face.
Many directors of modern battlefield movies are themselves very contradictory. On the one hand, they want to talk about the necessity of expedition. The US military is saving people in conflict areas. On the other hand, they are expressing the cruelty of modern warfare and the soldiers' contempt for life. The brawny man in the movie is a typical killing generation. Playing the enemy with sophisticated equipment is like a more realistic cs. The Nizi in the scene of calling for air support may be the one closest to the director. She was afraid and fortunate, adding a little excitement.
The emotional changes of a muscular man are completely opposite to those of Nizi. The muscular man gradually turned from the peak to the trough, because the death of the matter was concretized from the word game over to the departure of the people around him, and bullets were shot from more and more places. One of the laws of war movies is that the more you are afraid of death, the easier you are to die, especially when it happens to blonde white men. When a muscular man asks his friends to protect himself, he is actually telling the audience, you keep watching, I will take a step forward.
Nizi changed from going home alive and alive to not going home alive and alive. For such a change, the director gave an obvious hint that Nizi has climbed into the position of the machine gunner. In the previous scene of the building bombing, Nizi chose to stay with the corpse in the sultry carriage. He said that the first enemy to shoot was the machine gunner.
In the end, the water station that was about to be repaired after all the hardships was directly blown up. There are too many people to be saved. Nizi’s salvation can only end here, and then there is the sequelae of war trauma? What a perfect day.
Some people say that this film is for the director to have fun, and I don’t know if the director has a military dream. For some people, military dreams and war dreams are two completely different things, at least for me.
There are too many movies about salvation in war, such as "American Sniper", "Machine Gun Missionary", or "Killing a Generation".
It's a beautiful goddamn day.
