movie was released in 2005, and the story is set in the Gulf War in 1991, but neither a viewer like me nor the actors in the movie seem to be able to avoid that. The field took place in the shadow of the Iraq War in 2003. In all honesty, in the 1991 Gulf War, the United Nations military was morally justified. Regardless of the reasons and motivations behind it, the United Nations military stopped and fought the aggression of a powerful country against another country. The film should not be so depressing and sad.
The film is lively and lively at the beginning, to the excitement at the beginning of the war, to the moody in the middle, to the final confusion and depression of the film. It is very similar to the Iraq war in 2003, which started with disinformation and mixed with too much ambition of a great power, selfish desires of politicians and blind obedience of the public. The male protagonist, who has acquired the ability to kill the enemy, can't find a chance to kill in the war. It's not like the "weapon of mass destruction" that people were looking for after the Iraq War but found nothing in the end. It is hard to believe that people would use such an excuse to launch a war that killed countless people and hated endlessly. Maybe we are really trading blood for oil. Maybe the ugly performances of those politicians on the podium, at the negotiating table, and in the press conference are also some kind of projection and reflection of our hearts?
The hero of the film, Jake Gyllenhaal, has a temperament that is both good and evil. I have seen several films starring him, and I am very impressed. There is a literary and artistic "Illusion of Death", which has a documentary style. The "Zodiac" and the commercial film "Prince of Persia", which shows muscles and stunts. In general, his films always have a gloomy and depressing feeling, even the "Prince of Persia", of course, also includes this film. , which may be related to his own temperament and praise style. Sometimes I always want to compare him with the Nicholas Cage I admire, and I always think they have some similar temperament, but Jake Gyllenhaal is weaker in masculinity than Nicholas Cage, maybe he still Haven't come across a movie that showcases this aspect of him? I very much hope that today, when Nicholas is sinking, a qualified successor can appear.
When I was writing this review, I accidentally found that the word desert also means "deserved reward and punishment". For a while, I was in a trance and thought of a sentence I saw on the Internet: There is no peace in the heart.
