Standard Hollywood movie

When I chose the (pirated) film, I wanted to watch a better Hollywood movie - a somewhat complicated story about one or two people against a huge historical background, and I also wanted to express some not-so-simple positions. Add some necessary Hollywood elements such as agile beginners, life and death, bullets, escape from the dead, personal feelings, and so on.

This movie meets expectations, and, to be sure, this is not a serious movie, but a well-packaged entertainment movie.

Like any controversial history, the Middle East is a good subject. After reading some previous reviews, I think this movie has become too complicated (or even too serious) because of the subject matter. I was in the Middle East. I stayed here for a while, and I heard a few words in Arabic in the movie. It was very kind. Coupled with some other reasons, I feel that this movie is obviously the most watered down view. I watched with great enthusiasm, and even spent a few minutes thinking that I might be able to recognize one or two agents on the road and find a part-time job as an agent or something.

Those two aerial shots of amman and dubai are really Hollywood's professional skills. (Remember, the same angle was used when Mission Impossible was filming in Shanghai.) Then, the overlook shots of the bungalow markets, not to mention, are the representatives of any market in the world where Westerners appear for various non-tourism reasons. In a word, the level of photography reflects the professional level of Hollywood. The effect achieved is to make the city look very capitalist, and at the same time make people feel complicated and difficult to understand.

Terrorist organizations have little room for imagination, just underground passages and black-and-white cameras. However, the Jordanian agent boss negotiates and does things the same way as the Italian Mafia in New York. The boss who was sitting at his home in the United States and traveling twice on business was a typical politician-type executive officer of the CIA. As for the protagonist, the screenwriter wanted him to be a normal person with complex emotions and unclear positions for performing strange tasks, thus leading the plot to a Hollywood complex. To put it simply, there is no big surprise in this ending, and there is no accident if the protagonist is not dead.

Of these, Hollywood’s most famous front plot must have the following principles. However, the amazing thing about Hollywood movies is that even if you can figure out the number of ways, you can still watch this movie. So this is a way to success.

There is one more thing. Dicaprio may also play this kind of role in the future. He is constantly fword. At the same time, he can be very considerate and gentleman, and he must be very clever. It was quite interesting to let him speak Arabic this time. (As long as a Westerner speaks a language, it's as if all the culture behind the language is understood.) Think about his earliest who's eating gilbert grape and later catch me if you can and mad aviator, mmmmmm doesn’t know. When can he get the Oscar.

    Another CIA agent, the main focus is talking about the confrontation between the United States and the Islamic world, capitalists and terrorists. The actor's acting skills didn't make much breakthroughs, and Russell's made me feel lacklustre, and the interspersed love stories were a bit far-fetched, although this film contains many factors that should be a hit (agents, wars, current affairs, love, big stars) , action), but it’s just not pleasing, maybe the structure is too loose, but it’s not a bad movie either.

Body of Lies quotes

  • Ed Hoffman: See, what's changed is that our allegedly unsophisticated enemy has caughten on to the factually unsophisticated truth - we're an easy target. We are an *easy* target. And our world as we know it is a lot simpler to put to an end than you might think. We take our foot off the throat of this enemy for one minute, and our world changes completely.

  • Roger Ferris: We are your friends. We're here to watch you, we are here to protect *you*.

    Nizar: [exasperated] You can't even protect yourselves.
