Too much misleading, holes throughout - but still worth watching Uncle Liam

There should be a lot of people like me, who fell in love with Uncle Liam from the Tianlong Special Attack Team and Hurricane Rescue, and then watched the film for Uncle.
As soon as I watched it, I knew that this film would be severely criticized, but I think that, except for the N many misleading and N many loopholes, this film is actually worth watching.
The biggest misleading is the translation of the title of the film. The original name is "the grey", which is translated into "The Haze", "Gray Zone", etc. Everyone knows that this is a disaster film. A disaster film is to see how the characters die one by one. Dropped film, everyone, be prepared to watch dead people! But which idiot translated "Wolf Wars", it sounds like a bloody action movie at first listen. As a result, not only there are not many wolves in the film, but the wolves are driven to kill them. This kind of psychological gap, if I didn't want to see the uncle's style, I would have stopped watching it a long time ago. . Then there are the hot-blooded Hollywood blockbuster-style trailers, which don't match this tragic and literary disaster film at all.
There are also various loopholes, such as how the uncle who was bound to the chair fell and lost his chair, and the survivors were all healthy and uninjured (the one who spit blood and died is not counted, there are always several fractures after falling so high, Then ask someone to carry him and finally choose not to hold him back, etc.), the person who fell over the cliff fell to the ground, how could the wolf immediately come over from the opposite cliff and take him away, and finally sit and wait for that person to die? I can't wait to be bitten to death by the wolf. There are clearly signs of logging, but then there is no trace of human beings. The uncle is obviously an expert, so why did he come all the way to the wolf's den... The plot is really not impeccable.
But I still finished the film in a thrilling way. First, the uncle is really dazzling, secondly, it is really thrilling and suspenseful. Thirdly, some scenes are really exciting (such as the crash scene, I went back and watched it twice), enough Heart abuse (the last drowned person is too miserable to have wood). For that, this movie is worth it.
The last thing I want to talk about is the ending, which is completely open-ended. In the last two seconds, I saw that the uncle was still angry and pressed the wolf. It can be imagined that the uncle must have hit a lot of wolves, and if no one survived, how would the story spread and so on. Yes, or just when rescuers arrived, as you can imagine. But in the wolf's den, I really don't think there is a chance of survival, but if the film doesn't say so, I'm not sure. This ending is for the uncle's face, and he will not be demolished.
To sum up, if you are a fan of Uncle, this movie is still worth watching. It is also recommended for those who like to watch sadistic disasters, but only for action, heroes and plots. This is really just a miserable literary disaster movie, barely not happy~~~

    Focusing on depicting harsh nature and discussing people's will to survive, on the one hand, it also reminds the importance of some basic skills of wilderness survival. However, depicting wolves as bloodthirsty monsters that actively attack humans is inconsistent with its true nature. In fact, it can only appear in rare cases of winter food shortages.

    It's a rare cold-hearted work in commercial films. I thought that all the supporting actors who completed self-salvation would receive a lunch box, and then give HE and it would be over. Don't Lao Mei like this? Then I gave 4 stars out of hoarding obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the abuse ended. The soundtrack when walking through the woods comes from the heart, 5 stars, I think you have never suffered a big setback.

The Grey quotes

  • Talget: I keep sitting here thinking. Even with all this stuff going on, we hit the ground at 400 miles an hour, and we made it... Why would we go through something like that, that crash, if it wasn't meant to be... or ordained?

    Diaz: BY Who?... The Almighty?... That fucking fairy tale?... How about good old-fashioned blind luck?... Flannery survived that crash, so did Hernandez... It don't matter. Fate doesn't give a fuck... Dead is dead... Where do you think those boys are now?... Up in heaven? Being fitted for wings?... No, I'll tell you where they are... They're not. That's where. They're nowhere. They're gone.

  • Talget: My daughter, Mary. She's got really long hair almost down to her waist. In fact, it's the one rule my fucking ex respects, which is that I'm the only one who cuts her hair... She does this thing. She'll come and hover over me. I'll just be dead asleep, and she'll start swinging her head back and forth, tickling me with her hair all in my face, and

    [LAUGHS]

    Talget: she'll be laughing like crazy. It's a certain type of laugh, you know, when the kid goes past laughing to laughing, like a...

    [MIMICS CHILD LAUGHING]

    Talget: You know, like you can't really breathe, sounding more like an old man than a kid... I miss the hell out of that kid... Yeah.

    Ottway: You should. You know that?... Those things from your life, whatever they might be, make you want that next minute more than the last... Make you fight for it.

    Diaz: I just wanna fuck one more time

    [ALL LAUGHING]

    Talget: See, you ruined my story, motherfucker.

    Diaz: No. No, man.

    Talget: I'm telling a nice little sweet story about my daughter...

    Diaz: I don't mean to wreck your shit... I know, I know. I just can't go out on that last piece of horrible ass that I had. You know what I'm saying? A 53-year-old hooker, half-Eskimo.

    Talget: We shouldn't talk about that.

    Diaz: She was 250, 260. No shit. The bitch gave me the clap like it was gift wrapped

    [MEN LAUGHING]

    Talget: No, no, no. No, no, no.

    Diaz: Anyway... No, I just think that I would punch out and that would be my fucking swan song, right?... That alone is worth the fight... That's worth the fight.
