is "Magellan" in real history. In fact, this film is adapted from documentary literature (not a novel) by a journalist based in Iraq. Most of the incidents reflected are not groundless. The "elements" of the story are based on the 2003 United States. A series of real events that occurred during the invasion of Iraq. At that time, the Bush administration contacted an Iraqi who was a Saddam government’s defector under the pseudonym "Banana Ball," and it was speculated that this defector provided the contents of the Iraqi Saddam government’s plan to manufacture weapons of mass destruction and the production plant’s Address and the location of some other related equipment of this plan. This person is the unproven source of information, that is, the "the source" that Matt Damon began to question repeatedly in the film. In the real incident, this person has actually been considered by the German Federal Intelligence Agency as the source of the information before this. The credibility of is not very reliable. Since then, basically this report provided by the German Federal Intelligence Agency to cia has been filed internally by cia, but after Bush Jr. came to power, he cried and said, "Give me A reason to dry Saddam" was reactivated. While this Mr. Banana Ball was neither authenticated nor questioned, Washington took this report, which had been considered by the German Federal Intelligence Agency to be forged, to show off everywhere, and then the war in Iraq was launched.
So let’s take a look at the true identity of this banana ball. This person’s name is Rafid Ahmed Alwan. He defected from Iraq to the West in 1999 and claimed to be a chemical engineer in the mobile biological weapons laboratory of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program. The claimed content of Banana Ball was subsequently deemed untrue in the final official report of the Iraq Investigation Team in 2004. Although the warnings of the German intelligence agency questioned the credibility of the generated content, the US government used the information to construct The basic reason for the war in Iraq was stated in Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address, “We know that in the late 1990s, Iraq had several mobile biological weapons laboratories.” Colin Powell also stated in his statement to the UN Security Council. Provided a computer-synthesized picture of the so-called Iraqi Mobile Biological Weapons Laboratory. It wasn’t until November 4, 2007 that the 60-minute show revealed the true identity of Banana Ball. A former cia official summed up the Banana Ball and said, “In Germany, this guy tried his best to exploit the loopholes in the system. In fact, the goal is only Want to get a green card."
According to legend, the Iraqi informant did not actually like Americans, so the German Federal Intelligence Agency listed it as a "blue" source of information, meaning that it is not allowed to provide information to the United States (and red is information that is allowed to be accessed by the United States). Subsequent evidence pointed out that this guy is actually pro-American. In the end, the German intelligence service provided the information to cia and referred to the informant as the "banana ball". Although it was the American way, the Americans denied that the informant code was given by them and claimed that the source is unknown. The ball-based pseudonym was actually used during the arms intelligence trade during the Cold War, and the banana ball was actually the code name. Referred to a kind of curveball in pitching in American baseball terminology (it should be called curveball to be accurate. Chinese people don’t play baseball and don’t know the culture of this term. I think since it is a pseudonym, let’s use the banana ball in football for the time being. Instead, the general idea is basically correct~hehe~), which is an indirect weird and unexpected slang for certain things in American English, so the code name "banana ball" seems to have a certain sarcasm in it.
Let’s briefly talk about the life of Rafid Ahmed Alwan, also known as "Banana Ball". This guy studied chemical engineering at university, but he was a poor student. After graduation, he went to a TV production company in Baghdad. Later he left this company and was taken by the same company. He was arrested for filing a charge of theft. In 1999, this guy took a tourist visa and went to Germany to seek political asylum. At the beginning, he said that because A had money from the Iraqi government. Later, it was said that weapons of mass destruction cannot be pulled. According to a program on Danish National Television, Banana Ball is still living in Germany and is closely guarded by the German police.
Finally, let’s talk about cia being held accountable by all parties. Unlike the description in the movie’s Green Zone, the “banana ball” information in the real history was actually provided by cia, not like the cia described in the movie. Doubts, and in the movie, the situation in which the person in charge of cia pulled 1 million in cash from the safe was also reported in later news reports. There are data showing that a large number of high-level Iraqi military officers were bought by cia at a high price before the war. As a result, the US military's war process was surprisingly smooth. It seems that the US dollar is absolutely easy to use at any time when it opens the way.
It is often said that in A Dream of Red Mansions, some people see talented scholars and beautiful ladies, and some see class struggle. When the film was released in Europe and the United States, there was a lot of controversy. Just like the perception of Chinese audiences, many Western audiences who watched the film in theaters also divided the film into action films and politically critical films. Advertisers used the slogan "Bourne in Baghdad" to attract audiences while promoting, and Michael Moore, a Hollywood leftist director, said "It is very stupid to promote this film as an action film. Sincere Iraq war movie.”
Finally, let’s talk about the plot. Lame Freddy's identity is actually a Shia veteran who has experienced the Iran-Iraq War. The last sentence is considered the finishing touch'It is not for you to decide what happens here' , Of course it is very profound, so how is it profound? I believe that the
later development of the plot is giving the answer. The designated leader who was airborne from the United States has no prestige in front of the local tribal forces and will not balance Iraq’s internal contradictions. Therefore, the Pentagon’s idea of overthrowing and rebuilding the regime has encountered great difficulties. of.
So will the cia personnel on the opposing party succeed in retaining the Socialist Party personnel? Freddy’s assassination of Meihua J says it all. How could a person like Freddy who had been persecuted by Saddam’s war and a Shi’ite sect of opponents approve of the vested interests of Saddam’s regaining power after the war? Woolen cloth? So when he learned that Matt Damon wanted to protect Mei Hua J, the lame Freddy immediately chose to assassinate Mei Hua J. With an open-minded assumption, Matt Damon and Mei Hua J reached an agreement, and Mei Hua J was fostered by the United States. In the end, the puppet forces could not quell the internal conflicts and disputes in Iraq, because there are countless freddy in the civil society who will take up arms to oppose him, and the result will be even greater civil unrest. Of course, since it is a movie, it is natural to give the answer in a direct description. Therefore, both the Pentagon's plan and the cia's plan will ultimately result in failure, at least a temporary failure. In reality, the United States is actually closer to the Pentagon’s plan for fostering pro-American puppets, so it’s interesting to return to the movie’s plot, no matter how our "Bourne is in Baghdad" races against time to save what he thinks is the United States is in war. When the mistake is about to be made, the ending of this mistake is actually doomed, haha! Our "Bourne classmates" end up with nothing but a basket of water. . . . . . . So now let us think again about Freddy's deafening famous saying-
'It is not for you to decide what happens here', profound!
As a film with a fictional story, it is surprising that the Green Zone can be very close to reality in many places. From the scene, the chaos of Baghdad just being "liberated" is the background but it makes the audience immersive. The prisoner abuse incident, the cash purchase of socialists and other materials can be combined calmly, and from the main theme of the so-called weapons of mass destruction and the difficulties in the reconstruction of the road after the war in Iraq, the depth goes far beyond. The thinking and reflection that an action film can bring to the audience. . . . . .
