Another cross destiny

If I make a movie, there should be one in this style, which is in line with my thinking habits: 1. No matter which detail can be reversed; 2. You can have countless kinds of afterthoughts, but there is no standard answer; 3. You can think Sense of humor.

In general, according to the Chinese classification, it is like the publicly available works of the 6.5th generation of filmmakers in China.

"There are 550 million arms in the world, which means that every 12 people have 1 gun. The only question is how can we let the other 11 people have guns." (Muttered in a low voice: Comrade arms dealer must have never seen it. Only a high-precision "earth-made rifle" costing 20 yuan in Liuzhou will have such conservative data.)

The opening monologue of a golden bullet. Then there is the title: a bullet from the manufacture of a piece of copper to its transportation to Africa, and finally to the forehead of a teenager in the street melee. The angle of the camera always trails closely behind the bullet, just like the angle of the pinhole camera tied to the bullet butt, which is similar to the feather in Forrest Gump.

And the characters in almost every scene in the film make me constantly speculate about their mentality. Too many characters who are not in the same world appear in the same lens, and they meet at the same point in the world, which makes people feel this way. For example, there is a scene: arms dealers who do not kill, tyrants who kill people, supporters of tyrants who are killed, and ruled people who desire weapons to change their destiny. The connection point is on the pistol. The fate of the cross reminds me of Calvi. Nuo's novels are very interesting.

I don't want to discuss this film in a moral sense anymore. It is meaningless because there is no standard.

Human cruelty is not promoted by weapons. It’s like near the end of the film. Without modern firearms, they can kill a pair of mother and child with a machete. Without a knife, they can only increase the pain time of the mother and child because they must die, but the way they die is different. Imagine A feeling of being torn apart by teeth and nails. Modern weapons have increased the efficiency of death and shortened the painful time of death. The cruelty of death is replaced by the cruelty of death.

God is no longer there. May something can bless us.

    The credit editing is great. The portrayal of war in the film is basically an objective standpoint. There are not many positive descriptions but it is expressed through fragments. However, the nature of human cannibalism is reflected in the greed for money and power outside of war. The terrible protagonist cannot escape. , This is not just wealth, but a human instinct. When the protagonist finally said "Don't fight with yourself", it already foreshadows the powerless submission of human beings.

    This kind of narrative is a kind of adventure, the so-called success is also Xiao He and failure is also Xiao He. Fortunately, this narrative graces the film.

    Yuri Orlov: Everything's fucked up more than usual. I can't trust anybody, I need you to watch my back

  • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] I was so caught up in the deal, I never realized what was going on in Vitaly's head. Come to think about it, maybe I never really understood what was going on inside his head. One thing I do understand for certain is that Vitaly broke the cardinal rule of gun running: never pick up a gun and join the customers. Only half the guns and ammunition was gone so I was still entitled to half the diamonds ,if I took them I was lost, if I left them I was still lost. The massacre played out exactly how Vitaly predicted but then half a dozen massacres happened Sierra Leone that week you can't stop them all, in my experience you can't stop any of them
