When I first watched this film, it was very young. At that time, I only knew how to watch the magnificent scenes. After watching this film again, I found that there were many things I didn't see myself. Many of the combat qualities, humanity, caring among the soldiers, and the sense of identity with the country of the American soldiers in this film are worth learning and learning from.
Also, don’t blindly criticize the actions of the US military with that kind of politicization. If you feel that the actions of the US military are shameful, please go online and read the issue of the Beijing Satellite TV’s "Archives" about the failure of this US military operation. Even the government does not recognize the aggressive nature of the US military’s actions. Why do so many people do not have to think about it or do any investigation at all? First of all, the U.S. military did not act arbitrarily in Somalia. Instead, it sent peacekeeping troops into Somalia in accordance with the resolutions of the UN Security Council and then provided humanitarian aid. Twenty-four Pakistani soldiers and a dozen U.S. soldiers died. Isn't the soldiers of other people human? Aren’t Pakistani and US military officers and soldiers human? Don't you have parents? Is it okay to just accuse others of interfering in other countries' internal affairs and do an investigation? To put it another way, if the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army died in Somalia, I guess the domestic brainless spouts would have already said some bloodbaths in Somalia.
Secondly, I like American movies who dare to expose their own ugliness. It is precisely because a person can face his own shortcomings and lessons that he can make progress. It is not that I am complaining about domestic war movies, but which war movie is not written about repeated battles. , The soldier was so brave that he could stand up and throw dozens of bullets even after being shot down to the ground. Please let AK shoot a shot. If it weren’t for body armor, it’s almost impossible to stand still. If you wear a body armor, your bones will break. I'm not joking about domestic movies with bottomless lines. I just want to see a real war scene. This scene is not explosions and smoke, but the cruel facts on the battlefield, the feared hearts of the soldiers, and the loss of their teammates. That kind of grief. In "Black Hawk Down", we saw that even special forces would be scared, they would die when shot, they would also scream pain, and they would miss their family instead of the country. Even special forces would make jokes, too. There will be the kind of adult jokes occasionally made by men, and there will be the innocence of children. However, domestic movies, including this year’s "Operation Red Sea", have not changed much. I did not say that "Operation Red Sea" was not well shot. It definitely didn't mean that. I just kept emphasizing that the Civil War movies are really distorted. There is a feeling, that unreality that can't be said, that the soldiers are different from us. To sum it up, it is distortion. It can be said that when a soldier is about to die, his mind is definitely not about the country, but his own mission and family members he will never see again. There is always a feeling that the soldier is far away from us. People I know well, I can't see the true psychological activities of the soldiers, nor can I see their inner fears and the longing for their families. But "Black Hawk" gives me the feeling that it is true, close to our normal people, and they just have more responsibility and commitment than us.
Finally, I don’t know if I have discovered that although the US soldiers never verbally say patriotism or anything, what they say most is I miss my family, I want them to live better, and I have never heard them say it. "I fight for democracy." The most noble ones they say are "I want to bring them happiness", and the ordinary ones say "I want my family to know that I am brave", but this group of US troops recognizes the country. The feeling is far stronger than ours (personal opinion, don’t spray if you don’t like it). There is no emphasis in this film that "we want to love America" but it has a stronger effect of gathering people's hearts than this sentence.
Therefore, I strongly recommend this film and pay tribute to the United Nations peacekeeping forces who died in Somalia in 1993, whether American or Pakistani soldiers. You are not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. You are maintaining regional peace.
