The life and death of two talkative snipers

In addition to art films and the director's self-healing, the opening of a film is very important, and several problems at the opening of the film affect the look and feel.

One is to use this fixed single and small-scale scene to tell a story. Only when the audience is familiar with the scene can they keep up with your story. You'd better explain it clearly. It's a pity that the director has been reluctant to give a picture that looks down on the whole scene. The hills, pipes, dead bodies, vehicles, low walls, and the relative positions and orientations of the possible positions of the enemy at the first ambush point are unknown.

The second is the sudden attack. The US sniper's reaction was too strong and it was overdone. These old birds on the battlefield are killing people like numbness, and they should have been conscious of being killed. Being targeted by enemy snipers, the first reaction is to try to escape the enemy's muzzle, and then consider counterattack. Instead of panicking and scrambling. The American sniper was injured by the opponent and lost the ability to move. At this time, U.S. observers must first consider finding the enemy and trying to kill them, otherwise their comrades will die. However, emotional observers began to call for helicopter rescue, and the surviving US snipers planned to fight back with guns. These settings are relatively amateurish.

The third is that once you dodge the muzzle, the first consideration is to judge the possible location of the enemy and plan a counterattack. They have been lying here for 20 hours and have been attacked again. They are all masters, and it should be easy to determine the possible location of the enemy. However, it seems like two rookies with dark eyes.

This opening greatly reduced the duel and profound connotation of the masters behind. An Iraqi version of "Soldier Under the City" was stunned.

Then the observer and the Iraqi sniper started a walkie-talkie chat mode. For the sake of the plot, it is too ridiculous to advance the story in such a blunt way. Do you still hope to talk about a brother and laugh at the feud? This kind of ruthless dialogue mode on the battlefield is bullet talking, you come and I go, you die. Especially in the profession of sniper, who is like a lonely ghost, how can there be any talkativeness?

Taking advantage of the sand and dust, the first priority of the observer is to bend down and shoot at the opponent's approximate position randomly and continuously, disrupt and suppress the opponent, cover the sniper with the gun and get out of the enemy's field of vision, instead of watching the comrades die, and then repent to the enemy. inner shadow. When encountering such a pig teammate, it is an accident not to die.
