The reality is a long run with perseverance

After watching the assassination of bin Laden, the entire film is 2 and a half hours long, and only the last half hour is the real assassination. The remaining 2 hours are a monotonous tale of Maya's 12 years of perseverance in finding a needle in a haystack.

Statistics say that it takes ten years to master a skill. This is very realistic, but what is more realistic is that it may take another ten years to wait for an opportunity after mastering it, or it will take ten years to create an opportunity, and there may be no stage to shine in the whole life.

The last shot of the film is her silent tears on the plane leaving the Middle East. This is the only thing she has done all her life. Before she succeeded, she was nothing, and after she succeeded, she didn't know how to go forward. But she was lucky because she persevered and it finally came to fruition. Only a strong will and a thin hope supported her in the process. This is the most moving part of the film, and it is also the driving force for countless forbearance people to survive.
