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.

    "Soon someone will knock on the door, and you will be called outside. In the aisle, there will be someone with a higher rank than you standing there. First of all, he will congratulate you on everything you have done. You will make the world a peaceful place. Wherever you are, you will get a certificate or promotion, and then he will let you let me go. You will object, you may threaten him by resigning, but in the end, I will be released. "There is no war, there is no peace." Because angels are often with the devil.

    It seems that I have watched it when I was very young, and I watched it again recently. Although the last speech was clearly designed, it still had a certain deterrent effect. This is legal, but, this is wrong.

    Vitaly Orlov: Yeah that's right, you've gone legit? That's hard to believe

    Yuri Orlov: Because it's not true I'm leaving tonight on a job

    Vitaly Orlov: I can't, I have a girlfriend and I think she might be the one plus I'm thinking of opening my own place

    Yuri Orlov: Maybe this will trip will help, its good money

    Yuri Orlov: Nobody has to know, we'll tell everyone we're going for a little R and R

    Vitaly Orlov: What do you need me for all of a sudden?

    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
