When asked about the meaning of the film's title, legendary Hollywood director Kathryn Bigelow, who won 6 Oscars with "The Hurt Locker", explained that Zero Dark Thirty is the military symbol of 12:30 midnight. term, while also symbolizing the darkness and secrecy that shrouded the decade-long mission.

This film and argo, which won the Oscar for best picture, are also based on a legendary secret history of CIA spy warfare, but they are far better than Argo in terms of realism, characterization and psychological impact on the audience. Since they have given Argo four stars , this one must be five stars.

Before watching the movie, the whole world already knew the ending of this story. After watching the movie, I deeply realized how difficult it was to achieve this result. The last 30-minute documentary-like operation of SEAL Team 6 to kill Bin Laden restored the real scene to the greatest extent and greatly satisfied the curiosity of the audience. It is a pity that although bin Laden has fallen, the darkness will not end there.

Appreciate female director Kathryn Bigelow's cold and objective but sensitive and delicate perspective on war, as well as her extraordinary ability to organize trivial details into gripping ones; I like the explosive and shocking performance of the heroine Jessica Chastain; I admire the prototype CIA female detective looking for a needle in a haystack perseverance and persistence.
