"Love in the Name of War"?

Women, wars and love affairs must have both balances?

This is a very "wasted" war film. Seeing that it deviates from the main line behind it, it is unbearable to watch. There are very few movies featuring female soldiers, which is the main reason to watch it. I originally expected it to depict how the heroine snips and kills the enemy as much as war films such as "Bing on the City", and how powerful she is as a sharpshooter. As a result, at least three war situations were arranged for the heroine.

Men's war movies are really wars, and women's war movies have to put love scenes in them, which makes me mad. At first, I watched it with enthusiasm. When her female friend joined the army and joined the army, I was looking forward to portraying the camaraderie or something, but there was nothing, just like when you were expecting to drink a bowl of thick soup, but what you tasted is MSG. white water. The heroine is always ambiguous with her superiors, and there is a spare tire for ten thousand years. The war sniping and other things have become the background board. The further the plot goes (it should be more and more in-depth), the more the war becomes the background board, and the rhythm begins to drag and pour water. , It feels like the screenwriter doesn't know what else to write and pile on it. What is particularly disgusting is that when a new ambiguity is portrayed in one hour and 25 minutes, it is also accompanied by a large paragraph of romantic bgm that does not fit in. I don't know, I thought I was watching an idol drama MV. The screenwriter should bear a lot of responsibility. The main problem of this film lies in the script. It did not design a deep main line at all. Instead, it filled a lot of plots with water-like love, instead of delving into the theme of war and human nature. As a woman on the battlefield, she can be portrayed in many ways, including the deep friendship with the female compatriots who also went to the battlefield, the contest with the enemy, and the same fear of death and the war against the enemy. And thinking that goes against human nature... These things are either brushed over or not portrayed at all. And, as a character creation, what is the role of the female protagonist's female friends? It seems that vases are dispensable, even if they don't appear, there is no bright spot, just like tool people.

If you want to show the delicate emotional side of the heroine, it is really difficult to bring into the whole plot just through the constant insertion of love.

The plot interspersed between the two time periods is also very water-filled. The plot in the White House in the United States seems to be just an instrumental procedure to introduce memories in this two-line parallel narrative. It does not have the effect of moving or tightening the plot. The introduction of that line is better than simplifying this form.

In addition, I don't know if it is because of the script, the director's camera performance in the depiction of the battlefield is very tasteless, which makes people lack a sense of tension. It's also about snipers, and the shots of "Bing on the City" are much more expressive.

There has been a lack of descriptions of female blood in the cultural market. "Bloodness" does not belong to any gender, and it is mainly cultivated. The cultural environment of men from childhood will encourage them to have a fascination with joining the army. There are too many war movies in the video, and only the template of the male figure can be seen. However, if there is a template for female soldiers, it will also stimulate the desire and enthusiasm of many women to join the army. This kind of thing inspired by environmental culture further proves that it is genderless. But where are such works? How many works have only fixed female images, when did women appear on the battlefield? The subject matter of female generals and soldiers are very few in themselves, so it is so precious to have such a movie released - however, this movie completely shattered this expectation - what this movie tells people is not How many human entanglements she faces, it's not how to create a genius to be admired and how to show her genius, but it seems to say that women can't live even if they don't fall in love on the battlefield...

This movie should be called "Love in the Name of War", it's a pity that such a good subject matter.
