Pseudo-profound meaning

Very good movie, but some points of view disagree. The movie refers to the arms dealer as the king of war, which seems to explain the harm caused by the arms dealer for profit, and it also seems to reveal in depth that the real largest arms dealer is the government. However, the arms dealer is only a businessman no matter what, and war is a war. It is not that war cannot be fought without these arms dealers.
In the African massacre, if there were no arms dealers, there would still be slaughter. There were no arms dealers in wars around the world, and it had fallen back to the era of cold weapons, and even hand-to-hand combat where there were no weapons. From this perspective, the label at the end that "the five permanent members are the largest arms sellers" does not make much sense. Only a country that creates war for the sale of its weapons like some countries is the king of war. It is not manifested in arms trafficking.
At the same time, those "good guys" continue to play roles in this type of movies where success is not enough. Cage's wife stated frankly that she would not ask her husband anything at first, but afterwards she was able to claim justice to herself and stalked her husband privately. Cage's younger brother didn't understand the theory of one thing and two things. He either couldn't get rid of it at all or persisted to the end. However, he suddenly became a hero when he arrived at the place where he sold weapons and almost killed his brother together. Good people are always here to make trouble. The weak always appear to lash out the conscience of the strong, but in reality they are useless except to prove the superhuman ability of the strong.
Putting this aside, the story is well told. The movie began to use the perspective of a bullet to show the whole process of bullets from manufacturing to launching. It has a bit of CS flavor and is very well done. Even better, after the story begins to develop, the use of fancy shots is almost gone, and it is completely in line with the plot. A good movie will definitely not interfere with the audience's understanding of the story with weird shots when the plot develops. This is basic It makes sense, but many movies can't do it—especially in Hong Kong or South Korean movies, the overuse of fancy shots has become a headache.

    I remember watching this movie alone late at night, in front of a huge projection screen... a story about Russian immigrants taking risks, falling in love with people, taking great luck, and finally leaving their beloved child, becoming extremely cold, being caught but released by the system ——Urie specially separates business and life, but whether it is a younger brother, wife, or family, he gets involved again and again. Finally, he has to lose his humanity. The child shoots with a gun made of iron wire, which implies far-reaching

Lord of War quotes

  • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] Every faction in Africa calls themselves by these noble names - Liberation this, Patriotic that, Democratic Republic of something-or-other... I guess they can't own up to what they usually are: the Federation of Worse Oppressors Than the Last Bunch of Oppressors. Often, the most barbaric atrocities occur when both combatants proclaim themselves Freedom Fighters.

  • Yuri Orlov: [in an interrogation room] The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil.
