Very strange movie.
I guess it is alluding to the war on terrorism in the Middle East.
Since IS is likened to a big monster, it seems that the monster must be fought, and then the local people must have been accidentally injured when the monster is blown up, and the local rebel army is also very helpless.
Then the special forces said that we were also very helpless. We thought we were here to fight monsters, but were eliminated by the human rebels.
The rebels said that we are also very helpless, the monster did not toss us, your bomb tossed us to death.
The locals are even more helpless, so, all of you are tossing us...
In the end, the sergeant who was killed by the locals and the rebels went crazy, shot at the civilians, and was shot to death by the protagonist's kid.
The big monster in the distance is rising from the sky and the sun...
The theme of the whole movie may be what the crazy sergeant said: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Branch, is it anti-war? It doesn't seem to be right, since the monsters descended on the earth, it seems that it is not right to not destroy the monsters, right? Blame a certain country for bombing too much by mistake? It doesn't seem to be the case. The director said that the soldiers of a certain country are kind and pure, and they have survived countless hardships in the war and still retain a pure heart. Blame the rebels for being so cruel? It’s hard to say, the director seems to have given the rebels ample reason, you have killed countless children of us!
Maybe the director just wanted to say: I don’t know what to do! Who will fish me out of this quagmire! I just want to go home, my wife and children are hot on the bed! I don't want any ideals, what blood and fire!
Supporter, what do you want to say, director?
I must be older and there is no fluctuation in my heart. We Chinese people all know that war is not a good thing, and it is not easy to fight. If you want to fight, it is only when you are stepped on your head. So, let me sympathize. For some reason, I don’t know why I suddenly remembered the kind-hearted young man who went to join the army and then went to fight on other people’s land. I said there was nothing I could do! You are an adult, and you don't know what war is. I only have "hehe".
Then those weeping and unwilling to abandon the corpse of my companion, I blinked and looked at it with the same innocent eyes, especially, the artillery blasted, why are you not afraid at all? It felt like a group of kindergarten children went to the battlefield and then died somehow...
The war is neither exciting nor fierce, and the camera endlessly expresses: the protagonist is so painful, so painful, so painful...
It seems that the monster neither eats nor harms people. It was so pitiful that he drove a car with the American Emperor on the road, and was hit and killed by the car. So innocent, such a pure and cute monster, should he fight or not?
The countless huge monsters that appeared at the end were really spectacular!
Such a magnificent monster, I don't know what the director wants to express. The monster also has the right to survive?
Finish.
