American dream

This movie is average in the war theme, the stunts are not bad, but the plot is a bit fake, especially the old general decided to violate the superior's order to save the soldiers, Americans rarely do this kind of bloody things (maybe only gcd There will be...), and the superiors are too ignorant. . .
It's a bit like Saving Private Ryan. The war scene doesn't seem to be shocking enough, but fortunately, the authenticity is good. The ending is the reunion and handsomeness that Americans like, which does not meet my aesthetic. . . Perhaps the biggest benefit of this film is to help understand historical events!

Behind Enemy Lines quotes

  • Admiral Reigart: Our man is down behind enemy lines, now what the fuck is the problem?

    Admiral Piquet: [Yelling] Do you have any idea how much damage this incident may cause to the peace process?

    Admiral Reigart: All I know, Admiral, is that the American people want their pilot back.

    Admiral Piquet: Exactly! Americans, all you care about is your own damn pilots! What happens when the fighting starts again? Will America recommit its forces to stop a major war? No, you don't have any control over that little detail, do you? You might have helped save your man today, Reigart, and I emphasize 'might', but you risk the lives of thousands tomorrow.

  • Chris Burnett: [Burnett learns that he and Stackhouse are being assigned to a reconnaissance mission over Bosnia] Son of a bitch!

    [Stackhouse comes up to Burnett]

    Chris Burnett: [Referring to Admiral Reigart] Did you see this? He put us on the holiday mission! God damn it!

    Stackhouse: Yeah, well look on the bright side, at least we get to fly, right?

    Chris Burnett: Yeah, during the one good meal of the year, it's almost as if he doesn't like us.

    Stackhouse: [Jokingly] No, you. Not me. You.
