From personal destiny to overall political situation

The evaluation of a film is often related to expectations. For example, a look at the combination of "Green Zone": "The Bourne Shadow" series 2 and 3 director Green Glasgar starring Matt Damon once again strikes, it is inevitable that people will give birth to imagination. . Byrne became a soldier of the United States, supported by such a domineering backstage like the United States, and he was not overbearing to set off a bloody storm in Iraq. But the film can't bear such high expectations. What we saw was a movie that was actually pretty good and could be watched. It is inevitable for the audience to compare it with the "Bourage". This is an advantage in the popularity of the film in the early stage, but it may be a disadvantage in the evaluation of the film after it is released. People may just because the film is not "like" "The well-known "Spy Shadows" expresses dissatisfaction. And while this film still reflects some "spying and shadowy" temperament, the character's personality and sharpness are missing, and it is difficult to make people feel that kind of hearty and hearty feeling.

Although the background of this film is in Iraq after the war in Iraq, the plot structure is still very "spyware", the glorious incident is still full of deceit, and then it is the lonely battle of a tragic hero. In this film, Roy Miller played by Matt Damon seems to be the leader of a squad, but there is still a shadow of Byrne in his experience, that is, being used as a gun by someone who does not know the truth. They were desperately looking for WMD in Iraq, but they could only find out the irritating NTMD gas. The existence of this illusory WMD as a reason for the war is both important and not important to politicians. What’s not important is that Saddam’s regime has been wiped out, and the result has satisfied them; what’s more important is that international axioms still have to give face, and the hands and feet of the audience must be concealed by the glamour of the stage. So, on the one hand, It is very important to send some soldiers to go to work around. For such politicians, the biggest threat is that the tools have thoughts. So when Roy began to think about whether the WMD search operations that made them repeatedly empty out, he would inevitably become a threat to the politicians, and at the same time. Become a friend of the other politician under the US political check and balance mechanism.

In the following story, Roy basically turned into Bourne. Under the guidance of a lame brother, they found the main criminal wanted for playing cards, and found that a sudden emergence of the US team was going to confront him. Then the squad brothers were unwilling to follow suit, so he had to continue to search for the truth with his lame brother. Roy is lonely. It seems that he does not have amnesia like Berne, but the more sober he is, the more confused he is. He can't see the truth and can't figure out the puzzle. He can only go in the environment of Iraqi spy shadows. Explore. However, the shuttle between European cities has become a rush between the green zone and the war zone. At these bridges, we can still see the fast pace that Greengrass is good at. Roy is still very busy. , Immediately afterwards, ran to the side non-stop, not forgetting to negotiate with this force and chat with the other force in the middle. And the truth in the movement is exactly the sultry of the "Spy Shadows". It is fast and not chaotic, and the logic is clear. The film still clearly shows a behind-the-scenes conspiracy. At the same time, Greengrass has also demonstrated this kind of checks and balances in American politics. There are speculative politicians who buy former high-ranking officials and want to plant money, there are professional intelligence agencies who want to fight for the dominance of operations, and there are soldiers like Roy who reveal the truth. Of course, in this situation, reporters are absolutely indispensable, and they are still a key part of the little people's overthrow of power. The ironic and metaphorical character in the film is still the lame brother. He is a victim of Saddam’s regime. He is full of hatred for the former regime. At the same time, he feels that the Americans have a complicated mood to overthrow the former regime. He was relieved, but the practical political trend of the Americans later made him full of doubts. In both eras, he seemed to be able to move forward lamely, which can be said to be the epitome of some Iraqis, whose voices are always ignored. . At the end of the story, when Roy tried to rescue the high-ranking official of the former regime, the lame brother took another shot to prove that if the affairs of Iraq did not give them a chance to speak and a normal solution, they would inevitably use another It broke out in one way, just like the chaos that happened after the war in Iraq for several years.

The big difference between this film and "The Bourne" series is that the structure is more complicated. The "Bourne" series seems to have a mysterious organization that seems to run around Europe, but the core is a simple one. The direct story also allows the director to fully display his advantages in rhythm and action. And the misfortune that Bourne experienced in life, that kind of complete loneliness made him show a moving sadness. In "Green Zone", the pattern is bigger. In a conspiracy, the focus of the film is actually biased towards political thrillers. In the "Spy Shadows" series, personal experience is paramount, bringing out political shady; and this film, The personality and feelings of the characters are obviously weakened, from "individualism" to the "political overall situation", and the individual is weakened into an element that sets off the political shady. In particular, the role of Roy appears a bit monolithic, lacking the deep sense and layering of Berne. , So we can only see some stereotyped faces of soldiers, politicians, and Iraqi people. It is difficult to make a deep impression. It is also difficult to make this film stand out from the many films on the Iraq War in recent years.

    Sure enough, the conspiracy theory of this inkblot cannot be expected at the level of Spy Shots. The speculation is not as good as the result of the deduction.

    piece. . Yes, but maybe we'll also get into that small group and use our pawns. The world is a black hole
