The world is sloppy

Without the end of the sermon, "The King of War" would give me a better impression. Since the world is so cruel, why should we persuade people to do good? It's better to sing like Yu Quan: "I would rather you be cold to the end, let me forget it. I would rather you be unsympathetic to the end and let me give up completely."
Nicholas Cage's body is full of restless blood, but on the surface it is cold. Abnormal, like magma. Such a movie is the right way for Nicholas Cage, and the trash like "The Wind Whisperer" should be left to "The Rock" Johnson. Regrettably, Ethan Hawke has acted for so many years. When it comes to him, people still only mention that he is Uma Thurman’s ex-husband. Maybe it’s so handsome. There are many small details in the movie that are worthy of careful consideration. Because of Bush’s neo-conservatism, American filmmakers who have always been left-leaning and are in the Democratic Party’s stronghold have produced a series of "politically incorrect" works, such as "Fahrenheit 9/11", and "Good Night, Good Luck," and "Sirina" and this "King of War". For the United States, this is all one-sided truth. The real America, in the vast hinterland of the Great Plains, they are simple, conservative and even closed. Responded to that sentence: The world is sloppy, heaven and hell.
ps: The following is transferred from the data collection of Taiwanese netizens.

1. This film does not have any U.S. company operating behind the scenes, and the source of funds deliberately excludes the United States.

2. This film is basically based on actual events. The male protagonist is the incarnation of five arms merchants.

3. This film is obtained by arms smuggling merchants Quite a lot of assistance.

4. The director, screenwriter, and producer are all the same person (New Zealand), ---> Oscar-nominated screenwriter (Trumen's World)
He spent some time in contact with real arms smugglers, and Combine what you have seen and heard into the movie script.

5. More than 3000 real AK47 guns are used in the film. The
first reason is that the prop gun is more expensive than the real gun. (This is true... has been compared by various military websites Confirmed XD)
Another reason is the help of smugglers, their efficiency is better than the production company.

6. Classic scene-a whole row of tanks for sale.

First, these tanks are all real and belong to a Czech arms dealer.

Second, before shooting the scene, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was notified in advance to
avoid unnecessary tension and misunderstanding. ----->

Third of the army assembly , these tanks are only willing to use the crew to film until the end of last year,
because after the filming, they were all sold to Libya by the owner’s arms dealer...
