The acting is okay, but the political overtones are the biggest flaw

The overall acting skills of the protagonist are still ok, but why do you look at all this with the eyes of the Western world? Isn't all this the result of Lao Mei's incitement behind the scenes? Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, which country was not a peaceful and wealthy country before, what has it become since the shameless old America intervened? Is it to satirize the West? It is still promoting the so-called human rights in the West, I really don't see it. Besides, looking at the movie itself, I feel that the script is relatively scattered. If it weren't for the support of the actors' acting skills, I really don't know what I'm talking about~~~

    3.5. The director turned out to be making a documentary, no wonder. Marie Colvin Biography. War reporters have used their eyes to witness the cruelty of the front lines of various wars. In recent years, Pike Chunhua, who is specialized in the Middle East theme, is the biggest bright spot. Hand over the best performance after Gone Girl

    In the end, you can't tell whether the war killed her or she killed herself. She has fallen into a vortex and can't extricate herself... honorable and pathetic!

A Private War quotes

  • Title Card: In 1986, Marie Colvin began a career as a war correspondent writing on the frontlines of every major conflict from Iraw to Afghanistan to Syria.

  • [first lines]

    Interviewer: Last question. Fifty years from now, some youngster's gonna pull this disc out of a box and maybe make a judgment about becoming a journalist. What would you want that youngster to know about Marie Colvin and about being a war correspondent?

    Marie Colvin: Very difficult question. It's like writing, uh, your own obituary. I suppose to look back at it and say, you know, I cared enough to go to these places and write, in some way, something that would make, uh, someone else care as much about it as I did at the time. Part of it is you're never gonna get to where you're going if you acknowledge fear. I think fear comes later,

    [realization chuckle]

    Marie Colvin: when it's all over.
