When Los Angeles became Stalingrad

When Los Angeles became Stalingrad, when Black Hawk Down took place on Independence Day, when movies were incorporated into third-person shooters… you can use countless similar phrases to describe this freak. This shows its lack of originality from one point of view, from the pseudo-documentary style of photography to the main theme of the heroic spirit of American soldiers, from the strategic focus of defeating aliens to the protagonist Xiaoqiang who has repeatedly fought but never died. It's a cliché, even the scene where the protagonist hurriedly returns to the battlefield after breakfast at the end seems to be the last Eric Bona possessed by the black eagle. But who cares about originality in a movie like this? The realistic bullets and the continuous explosions and the bloody plot are enough to prop up an entertainment film worthy of the ticket price.

In less than ten minutes at the beginning, I briefly introduced the personal background of the hero team in the film. If you can adapt to the shaking hand-held camera style in this section, then you can enjoy the thrill of game clearance as soon as you start it. The influence of games like Call of Duty on this film is obvious. Every few minutes in the film can be turned into a level in the game. It is said that the console game of the same name has been released, but even playing it on a large-sized TV is still not as good as the thrill of a movie screen.

In addition to action, the most important thing in action entertainment films is whether the hero as the protagonist can hold the scene, and the double-faced Dent who came out of Batman's Dark Knight strongly supports the protagonist of Gao Daquan. From the beginning of staying in the lower position without seeking to stabilize the military's heart, to the personal hero turning the tide at the time of disaster, and finally to the end of the crisis and ordering the righteous Bo Yuntian to achieve unworldly merit, how can such a leader not let people sacrifice their lives to follow? The most touching moment was when his soldiers wavered and questioned him by sacrificing his soldiers to achieve his own military exploits. He calmly declared that those soldiers who had sacrificed under his command would come to his mind every moment. Tortured his conscience, and then reported the names and brand numbers of those people one by one, which immediately shocked the audience.

Finally, a little distraction: the U.S. military tactics shown in the film are impressive: every soldier is equipped with a radio, and every squad is equipped with a missile-guided laser, so that the action is integrated and the response is quick, and where to fight. What's more is that the opponent is not human so there is no moral burden to show off like this. When will our national filmmakers be able to film the Red Army's war with aliens, and show the might of our army...
