The road of no return

Should I be melancholy of a movie from this background? -A film sponsored by an arms smuggler. Few movies dared to mock international politics, "The largest arms dealer in the world is the President of the United States. He sells more in a day than I do in a year."

With the helpless and poignant Hallelujah (the most moving episode of the film), The arms dealers have embarked on a path of no return. They are already in hell, and they are not even destined to die by public laws. They are only worthy of an assassination or dumping bullet. But behind the vicissitudes of his face and the soft heart of his heart, there are still endless hardships and sighs, as if a prostitute missed the time of Liang's son.

The whole film makes extensive use of the protagonist's inner monologue, which shows a unique perspective while narrating in parallel. One thing is happening, not only that, but all kinds of thinking in the character's mind are also happening.

The most exaggerated scene is that Nicholas Cage was caught by international police during an airlift and was forced to land on the Lion Rock in Africa. In order to evade the law, Nicholas Cage generously gave weapons to the local poor. Before the police arrived, all the guns and ammunition of an airplane were removed. Another night later, the entire plane was dismantled and taken home by those people. I believe this is true.

"The King of Arms" is a 2005 film. It is a horrible thing not to have an Oscar, but do you think the Yankee's Oscar will be awarded to an "illegitimate child"?
