The film was released in 1996, and it is two years before Nicholas Cage won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Leaving Las Vegas". Compared with his lackluster movie now, I think of what will follow. "Face Changing" and "Prison in the Air", at that time Cage was in a period of rising career in full swing.
At the beginning of the film, it was a funeral in a rainstorm. A few soldiers carried the coffin and fired their guns. The background sound was gunshots in the trenches and helpless screams of soldiers.
The sound is the cause of the picture, and the picture is the end of the sound. It explains the course and result of the matter in a short period of time.
The whole movie is mixed with a bit of film noir flavor. The reason why it is not called film noir is because the film still has a more obvious value orientation.
On the surface, those hypocritical politicians care about the safety of the people, but their fundamental purpose is still to maintain their rights and status; and when General Hammer issued the launch order, the audience could hardly realize what was wrong.
Hundreds of years ago, the founders of Washington and Jefferson were also regarded as traitors by Britain, but now they are regarded as patriots.
History is always interesting, and always the right side wins the final victory.
In other words, there is no pure right or wrong. The reason for the existence of both good and evil is only the reason for the victor to excuse himself, as well as trampling and mocking the loser .
If Washington did not succeed and the War of Independence ended in failure, today's great men might become national traitors criticized by the people.
The leaders of those countries hyped up the honor of being a soldier, but because of the immorality of purpose and actions behind them, they did not even have a proper funeral for the soldiers who died in the war. What their families faced It's just a cold tombstone and a false lie.
On one side are the soldiers occupying an island, and on the other side is the Marine Corps ordered to carry out the mission. In short, both sides represent justice, but the result is that the two sides fight with bruises, and those behind the scenes who control power with ulterior motives benefit from it.
General Hammer just wanted to get back the honor he deserved for his men who died in battle. When the Marines entered Alcatraz Island, he shouted hoarsely. When the missile was about to land, he decided to change direction and fall into the sea...
He didn't really want to destroy anything from the beginning. As a soldier, he knew the terrible consequences of war. He himself is a victim. He just wants to get the honor he deserves, to rectify the name for himself and his men. This is his bargaining chip, not a means.
This failed uprising will eventually turn into another successful anti-terrorism operation by the government in the eyes of politicians.
The tree of freedom will continue to flourish, and the blood of the patriot will still flow silently.
