But after watching it, I feel that the movies that show war are similar.
I wanted to watch a war movie to refresh myself, but I didn't expect to know that it was a "war movie without shooting" after watching it. Later, I saw that most film reviews put it on the same level as "Army Field Hospital". And I think the black humor in it is very similar to Catch 22. In some specific performance techniques, for example, when a bomb is constantly exploding around, I use silence to express the shock of the protagonist, or when everyone is marching in a line, there is a person who is very excited and runs around, and then suddenly meets Attacks, etc., it seems that this is how it is shown in many movies.
Of course, the Gulf War is a unique modern war, so this movie is also a modern war movie, and when it is displayed on the screen, you will feel that it is not modern, but post-modern.
At the beginning of the movie, the recruits received training, and the screaming sargent was very similar to the previous Vietnam War movies, but after a while, the difference of the times appeared. In one case, the Marines were watching "Apocalypse Now" in a theater, and the sentiment was infuriated. And when they arrived in the desert, what was played in the camp was no longer the rock music of the gate, but the strong Hip-Hop music. My buddy said, this is the music of the Vietnam War, is there anything new?
In the last modern scene in the film, they marched in the desert where the oil well was lit, surrounded by thick black plumes of smoke. Then there was an oil rain, it was dark, the lit oil well glowed red, the sky was completely covered with black smoke, and the players were covered with oil. This section looks like a scene in a science fiction film. When the team members wearing desert camouflage were marching in the desert, the photography deliberately made the picture too bright, adding to this surreal feeling.
When I watch war movies recently, I always feel that I’m watching a video game. When I see Swafus and Troy on sniper missions, I think this picture is simply cut from the Delta Special Forces.
