Fight again with pride

If a brutal war could allow idealism to exist, which side would you choose to take? Is the enemy the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist "savior" Mahd, or the Islamic jihadists? The Sudanese sniper removed his mask righteously, ignored the coercion at the muzzle, loaded the bullet and raised his gun to resist death angrily. The encounter near Fort Abu Kerry was full of twists and turns, and the director obviously stood at a neutral angle, exposing the British army's ignorance and improper tactical command.

With Heath Ledger as the thinker & warrior, and Kate Heston as the woman with a heart, the director is very good at making the actors burst into full energy in the most suitable role positions. In the first ten minutes or so, the camera quickly cut from the telephoto lens to the sports field, followed and edited with the shaking mirror, creating a dynamic atmosphere. On the gorgeous dance floor, the soothing rotating lens is used to prolong the visual persistence. The speed-dating love triangle injects a lively little humorous tone into the big serious story frame. Love is wine, friendship is the core of steel. When the protagonist Heath Ledger was humiliated by avoiding the war, the only one who did not fall into the trap was the rival and the closest friend.

He said that I didn't fight for the queen, and that I chose to fight after I evade the war. Is that a paradox? The negation of the negation does not lead the negation to its opposite, but proves that the negation is not a sufficient negation. From the handsome soldier to the decadent style of the bearded man, he returned to the same mental journey. He understood the value of participating in the war. He fought for his friends, infiltrated the enemy camp, and was thrown into prison. Action to restore one's reputation is more important than Mount Tai. When he returned, he said to his girlfriend, I have no other choice, this is God's will. Humorous and self-deprecating, hearty laughter, sent to the vast desert battlefield.

    Title Card: The Symbol of their disgrace was the white feather of cowardice...
