Celebrity misuse

This is not a good-looking film, but I still have some thoughts. I heard that it was adapted from real events, but the purpose of the film is not just to satirize the army. As the reporter said at the end of the film, this film is actually a repression and distortion of human nature. In the end, it was a bit tragic through the wall. By the way, the Americans' requirements are too high, and this is not enough. You should all go crazy if you want to come to us.
When watching this film, I always think that Clooney and Bridges, two rivals of this year's Oscar actor, actually cooperated in a film released in the same year. Even if it is not an anecdote, it is still very interesting to think of. And neither of them is nominated for this film, it can be seen that the quality of this film is indeed beyond the support of the actor.
There was another problem that bothered me when I watched the film. I kept saying "Jedi Knight" in the film, and basically the reporters played by Ivan were present when I said this, which made me want to laugh from the bottom of my heart. Obi-Wan is really the worst Jedi I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if I have benefited from the director. Ivan has completely turned Obi-Wan into a Jedi with no outstanding achievements in civil and military affairs. He has no personality, basically. Going up is to follow the route that fate has arranged for oneself. If it weren't for Qui-Gang King, the image of the Jedi would really be discounted in my heart because of Obi-Wan played by Ivan.
For this film, star participation is really not a good thing, or the actors and roles really do not match. Clooney is a good actor, but he personally thinks he is not suitable for this kind of pure heart, because there are too many things in his eyes, which is difficult to erase by acting skills. Kevin Spacey is a better actor, and the role in the film is similar to the villain he played before, but his tricks in this film are too pediatric. Compared with his previous roles, it always makes people feel this People don't seem to use their brains, otherwise how could they lose so easily.
The experience of director Grant Heslov, who is a screenwriter, is still lacking. Not only is the actor useless, but the cutting in the narrative is also a bit blunt. But given that he has always been tied to Clooney, I believe there will be greater development in the future. It's just a waste of good themes and luxurious lineup this time.
