The plot of the film is not complicated. The protagonist joins a bomb disposal squad based in Baghdad as a bomb disposal squad. This squad had previously killed the bomb disposal squad in an accident. In the more than two months after he joined, there was one encounter, several bomb dismantling missions, and one explosion assessment during the team's rotation. At the end of the shift, the other team members chose to return to their homeland, but the protagonist chose to join another bomb disposal team to start a new round of 365-day shift.
Since the film was shot with a handheld camera throughout, the swaying picture and the atmosphere with little or no background music made me feel as if I was watching a documentary. The American soldiers of the bomb disposal team lived a life of extremely high psychological pressure in Baghdad, who looked at everyone like terrorists and saw everything like bombs. In the end, even the always strong black deputy leader was almost in spirit. collapse. It is said that this film is adapted from the memoirs of the screenwriter of the film. I have never been on the battlefield. I don’t know if the description of the film is objective, but I believe that no one is willing to live with explosions, hatred, and bloody corpses all day long. together.
Many film critics talked about how the film is against the war. Of course, anti-war is the Oscar's consistent style. Someone said that the protagonist’s last remarks expressed the embarrassment of many American soldiers and aroused the anti-war sentiment of the film. If you want to talk about anti-war films with the theme of World War II, I can still accept the war in Iraq? forget it. Is it true that American soldiers are worse than the Iraqis whose country has been arbitrarily invaded? I only know that the military industry is a major pillar industry in the United States at any time, and the entire industry depends on war to stimulate it. Moreover, the Iraq War seems to have been initiated by the United States. I even thought that the luxury and elegance of the Oscars podium was probably partly created by the benefits of military industry. In fact, I think more of the two movies King of War and Blood Diamond than the bomb disposal unit.
Seriously, thinking too much about some things can be frustrating. I am extremely supportive of the anti-war, and I really sympathize with the American soldiers. To put it ugly, they either understand everything like the protagonist, or their brains are full of muscles and they don't understand anything. But whether they understand it or not, guns are being produced every day, terrorism is getting worse every day, and the sun is rising every day as usual.
From the narration at the beginning of the film, "Hurricaneous assaults in war are often addictive, because war is drugs." And the protagonist’s sentence "I love probably only one thing", I wonder if the director wants to express a kind of protagonist The negative thoughts about where to avoid something and where to sink, if so, I'm sorry, the film is off-topic by me.
