There are also a few classic lines that are reminiscent of "FULL". For example, the gunman who shot Kennedy came from the Marine Corps, and the classic "this is my rifle, There are many rifles, but this one is mine" "without my rifle ,I'm nothing; without me my rifle is "Nothing", there is also a scene where the instructor leads an interesting slogan during the morning jog. . It is estimated that the pearl is the first, so Mendes could not help but learn a lot from it. Of course, the training part in the barracks did not take up almost half of the space as in "FULL", and the tone was much easier than in "FULL". It's more like a necessary confession, rather than trying to show the brutality of the recruits by the barracks as in "FULL".
Another place that interests me is the second part of the film. When introducing the background of the Marine Corps, there is a line like this: Dan Daly Killed 37 Chinese by hand during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. The Chinese translation is in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. During the uprising, Dan Daly killed 37 Chinese with his bare hands. I had never heard of such a thing before, so I checked it online. There is no relevant information on Baidu. I checked it with GOOGLE and found many. The most authoritative is on the official website of the U.S. Marine Corpshttp://www.marines.com/page/usmc.jsp?pageId=/page/Detail-XML-Conversion.jsp?pageName=Sergeant-Major-Daniel-Daly&flashRedirect=true
The thing written above is translated roughly It was a summer afternoon in 1900. The Boxer Regiment was attacking the Xishiku Church in Beijing. The church was guarded by troops from the United States and Germany. The German army had just left the guard, and a company commander of the US Marine Corps said that he needed someone to guard the church. At this moment Danial Daly stood up and said "I'm your man"
. Then the company commander went to fortify the fortifications, and Daly used firepower to cover him. After a while, when the company commander was finished, he counted and found that Daly had killed more than 200 people. After returning to China, he won a medal from the Congress.
There are some discrepancies with what is said in the film. The film said it was 37 with bare hands, and the website stated that it was 200 shots. There are also many other web pages that say the above, but they did not search for such things as unarmed killings. I think if this is not an unreported secret in the Marine Corps, it should be processed by the director himself. Obviously, what the website says is more realistic than the version in the movie. It is well known that the Boxer Formerly called Hequan was organized by practicing boxing. Mass organizations in Zhili, Shandong and other places used cold weapons and crowded tactics when fighting. I wouldn't believe that well-equipped Marines would take the risk personally to get one more enemy with their bare hands. This is not an occasion to show off their skills at all. It is much more reasonable and simple to shoot more than 200 with a gun.
By the way, the Western reference to the Boxer Movement is called the Boxer Rebellion (the Boxer Rebellion). Their view is that the Boxers murdered religious people and slaughtered foreigners, and the Qing government had no results in encirclement and suppression. In addition, the Qing government violated international law and did not abide by the previously signed peace treaties. Only then did the Eight-Power Allied Forces go to Beijing to protect their own nationals. thing. Many facts are concealed and distorted in the current Chinese history books. According to Professor Yuan Weishi’s textbook on Modernization and History, a total of 231 foreigners were killed during the Boxer Rebellion between June 24 and July 24, 1900, including 53 children. Most of them died at the hands of the Boxers. As for the Chinese believers (teachers) and the so-called "Er Maozi" who were killed, there is no clear account. Most of them were killed by the Boxers, and some officers and soldiers also killed some. In Shanxi alone, more than 5,700 Chinese Catholics were killed. Fengtian (Liaoning) province "teaches more than a thousand lives." "However, in Zhili (Hebei), the number of murders and houses burned in the whole province is almost impossible in no counties. There are many murders in one county, and there are as many as one or two thousand people in one county." Even Zhejiang also "robbed and burned the homes of religious people to more than a thousand people." The Boxers destroyed electric wires, destroyed schools, demolished railways, burned foreign goods, killed foreigners, and Chinese people who had some connections with foreigners and foreign cultures...All objects and people tainted with foreign flavors would be completely wiped out and soon afterwards.
China always blames Japanese rightists for revising textbooks. But who will constrain the revision of the Chinese leftists? In the explanation of many issues, Hong Kong's history textbooks are more in line with historical facts than those in the Mainland.
Pulling away. Jarhead is actually a very good movie. It's just that these years, everyone has been exhausted by various war films, and there are insurmountable peaks such as Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunters. I think I will definitely lose a lot of freshness when watching this film. Four stars
