The thought-provoking part of the movie "Black Hawk Down" and the root cause of the failure of the U.S. military operation

"Shadow Fall" is the fifth one I have watched after "Saving Private Ryan", "Blood Battle of Hacksaw Ridge", "Full Metal Shell" and "Action Brave". I think it is a very deep war. War movie. "Saving Private Ryan" and "Hacksaw Ridge", I have some doubts whether these two films are considered anti-war films; "Action Brave" and "Black Hawk Down" are completely incomparable. If you take the two For comparison, "Action Brave" will undoubtedly be beaten by "Black Hawk Down"; "Full Metal Case" and "Black Hawk Down" are compared, I think the two are on par

.

"Full Metal Case" is not as long as the grand battle scene of "Black Hawk Down", and the battle scenes in the second half of "Full Metal Case" are not as grand and intense as in "Black Hawk Down", "Full Metal Case" expresses The anti-war ideology is mainly expressed on the spiritual level and repressive atmosphere rendering, and the expression on the spiritual level of "Black Hawk Down" is relatively much less than that of "Full Metal Shell".

"Black Hawk Down" tells viewers more from a visual perspective, how cruel and bloody the war is, even though the armored fleet of Rangers who have been well equipped and battle-tested have encountered hundreds of armed AKs. -47. The mob with the G3 assault rifle also appeared so vulnerable; the Black Hawk helicopter hovered at low altitude, thinking that he was such a steel behemoth. The mob had nothing to do with him, but after the RPG-7V rockets whizzed past. I know how ignorant my thoughts are; in games such as "Medal of Honor" and "Call of Duty", the character you control can often defeat one hundred against one person, but in reality this is pure nonsense, two deltas Special forces snipers are a living example, facing the crowds of Somali thugs fighting hard to the end of their lives.

Whether it’s "Full Metal Case" or "Black Hawk Down", the main tone expressed by the two angles is the same for me. When I watched these two movies, I did not watch other war movies in the war scene. Shi feels passionate and passionate all over, and I feel that the movie is very "cool". When I watched these two movies, I really didn't feel that way at all. War will always be a horrible demon wandering in the world. I hope that this world will never happen again. There is such a cruel war.

Now that I have finished talking about the insights of the movie and the comparison with the movies of the same type, let's talk about the plot of the movie.

Regarding the reasons why the U.S. military failed in combat.

First of all, the U.S. military operations in Somalia did not have any support other than the United Nations Blue Helmets and Pakistan Mountain Forces, which did not play a significant role in the film. Almost all the people in Somalia hate the behavior of the U.S. military. There is no shortage of women among thugs. The Somali boy who accidentally shot down his father, and finally picked up the AK47 to shoot the Somali women killed by the Ranger sergeant at the US army is not difficult to see.

Secondly, the American soldiers underestimated the enemy too much. From the first half of the movie, the American soldiers all revealed their contempt and irony towards the Somali thugs. However, the tragedy in the second half of the movie gave them a heavy slap in the face.

There is another reason. In addition to the major general's strategic command errors, the disharmony among the three US forces is also one of the main reasons for the failure of the battle.

Of course, in addition to these, "Black Hawk Down" has many scenes that impress me and feel very exciting.

For example, at the beginning of the movie, Randy, one of the two Delta Special Forces snipers who died in battle, called his wife. At that time, I had a premonition that something was going to happen to him. It was really true.

Another example is the coffee brother Grim and Sergeant Efsman of the Delta Special Forces. They are the only two Rangers and Delta Special Forces who can get along very harmoniously...

To sum up, "Black Hawk Down" is one of the few very profound and significant movies I have seen in my 15 years of life. The impact on me is also very significant. This movie will have a heart in my heart. Very high status, it will be the same in the future.
