The glory of the family, the unbearable loneliness, the abuse of the superior, the inhuman training, the pride of galloping on the battlefield... With all these elements, a twenty-year-old recruit SWORD is going to the battlefield in Iraq.
Before departure, a book of "Apocalypse Now" aroused the enthusiasm of the young people to "feast with hunger and meat", but on the way to see off, there was no roadside voluntarily dedicated flower girl like the "Kamikaze Self-Defense Force", no "strong man". The sadness of being gone and never
coming back is a comfortable cabin and a decent and professional stewardess. It doesn’t look so cruel, does it? When I arrived in Iraq, where the sky was full of yellow sand, I thought it was brutal bombing, killing, or nothing. Every day Bored training and patrolling, taking the opportunity of interviewing reporters to perform restricted-level performances to vent their dissatisfaction with their superiors, chatting with comrades about girlfriends or wives, and how they came to the army. It turns out that the conscription of the Americans is a trick that you can make girls all over the world. Our conscription is like the confidant sister of the squad leader Shi, and we make a solemn promise to our parents.
During the streaking alcohol party on Christmas Eve, they vented their various depressions since they were stationed in Iraq for several months. Unexpectedly, the mistakes of their comrades in changing shifts caused a fire, and SWORD, who had just been enjoying it, fell to the bottom again. They were demoted, cleaned toilets, and carried their father on their backs. After the glory of the Vietnam battlefield, he was in the desert of Iraq in addition to digging sand and cleaning excrement.
Having escaped the attacks of Iraqis, seeing charred corpses, and encountering ordinary Iraqi business travelers, it is so hard to see the "imaginary enemy" that a group of ordinary Iraqi businessmen can make the young men sigh with excitement, "Finally. met the Arabs".
But they have never killed an Arab, the sniper's SWORD rifle scope has never raised a cloud of blood, the killing hormones that have been betrayed, tortured, suppressed, endured and accumulated, on the battlefield Can't find a gushing exit.
The director was very stingy and didn't give them the opportunity to "kill a lot". The sniper was about to shoot, and the commander who led the air strike force came to interrupt their attack, and finally, ironically, let them win the battle "without blood".
After watching "The Head of the Pot", I felt a little aggrieved, and I felt that there were always emotions that were not vented. The two-hour-long film thought that there would be a fierce confrontation at the end, showing the cruelty of war and the distortion of human nature. Destruction, showing the morality of brothers who live and die together, showing the director's anti-war attitude, no, there is no such emotional expression. Perhaps the true nature of modern warfare is like this. There are not so many heroic heroics, and the "you" as an extra is not so important, and you don't even need to fire a gun.
For a moment, they were lying in the quiet trenches, the sky in the distance was setting in the west, the sky was full of sunset, and there was a kind of frozen and unique beauty on the battlefield where the breath of death permeated. I think of "Soldier Assault", there is also such an idle pen: after the exercise, other people are relaxing and resting, and the eliminated adult, silently squatting in the trenches wiping his beloved sniper rifle, accompanied by the guitar song "Forward き な Otome" "Heart", a real "young and frivolous happy time" in life.
Qianzhen looked at a photographic work on the Internet. It was a comparison of photos of some US troops stationed in Afghanistan before, during and after joining the army. The three types of eyes clearly correspond to the three stages. Almost all of them were clear visions, confusion and pain, and then indifference and despair. Whether you love it or not, hate it or not, this time will leave its mark for life.
Impressive details in the film: the empty water bottle held in the sun, the two lines of white footprints left by walking in the scorched earth, the metal soundtrack is very good. Jack challenges different types of films to fully hone his acting skills.
