In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just feel right. The film is not perfect, if it is simpler, it will be more suitable for the understanding of the public. After all, this is a foreign language film, and there are some classics. A graduate student like me, I watched it twice, and someone who understands English still understands. After all, there are not many people who understand the United States better and major in economics in international politics. Hahaha, laugh at you to death. However, the friends who commented above are quite competent and too professional.
Okay, let me tell you about this movie. Let me talk about the main line of the story: there are 4 of them, and everyone knows them.
The first one is about the image of Arab labor. For the Chinese, just leave him alone. This one is also the simplest. It reveals why some people are suicide bombers. Perhaps the Americans look at this line a bit new, because Most Americans may not understand Arabs and culture.
The second thing I want to talk about is the consultant of the dead son. He is an American himself, but he started working in Switzerland and became the consultant of the prince because of the loss of his son. In fact, this line is not very difficult. It has meaning. Not big, mainly used him to clarify the situation of the royal family. Both he and the prince are idealists. They look a little naive, but they represent a bright future for conscience and Arabia. The little prince is not as diligent and studious as the eldest prince. He is incompetent, a natural puppet, for his own sake, regardless of the country, and embarrassed with the Americans. I even suspect that he knew that the Americans were going to kill his brother. The old king is a guy who doesn't want to fight anymore, he just wants to live in Europe in his later years. It is worth noting that the prince was portrayed as a close, enlightened, and humane reformer. However, he was bombed to death by the United States, which claimed to implement democracy and freedom in the Middle East, and also bombed the dream of a consultant.
The third line should be a little more careful, that is the old agent. At first, he lost a missile. The ridiculous thing was that no one in the CIA wanted to mention it. Then his superiors lied to him and asked him to kill the prince. However, his associate colleague rebelled and tortured him to confess his confession. After he returned to China, he was treated as a scapegoat. The superiors said that he was killing the prince on behalf of others, and he was investigated. But he was also very powerful. He knew that he was being used all the time by threatening that White, who represented American interests, or something. So he went to the Middle East again. I think he knew that the CIA was going to kill the prince and wanted to report the letter, but he didn't want to die without success. The irony is that he was killed by the CIA, which he had served loyally for decades.
The fourth line is the most complicated. The black legal adviser was invited to investigate whether there were any violations of the law in Killen’s purchase of Kazakhstan’s oil field exploitation rights. He has to face several aspects, first is his father's suspicion and contempt for him. The second is to agree to give him the benefit of conix. There are also judicial departments or inspection departments that represent the impartial side of the United States. He also has to face his boss and the subordinate team who helps him check the problem. He is very mature, and he is really a lion that looks like a sheep. He found out the problem, blocked the judiciary, gained the trust of Conix, sold out his boss, and facilitated the merger of the two American oil companies. In fact, he also had to do it. The black hands behind this are American interests and American oil interests. This is deeply ingrained, and it will only be broken to pieces. The black and white segment of the film is the oil tycoon Rockefeller, to remind the audience of the status and history of oil interests.
After watching my understanding of the film, maybe you will agree with me the following point: In fact, the last 2-3 lines can make a perfect spy political film. The director is too complicated, and most people will look very tired. Due to space limitations, some of the characters are not deep enough to portray the main characters. I think it’s unnecessary for diners to wait for a lot of extraneous extras in those restaurants to cook food. It makes my head bigger and I have to look at all of them carefully, which is too annoying.
Let me answer some details that everyone likes to discuss. Because I use ADSL to surf the Internet, I only read the rmvb version. I didn't see the English subtitles. Maybe it's not correct.
Everyone likes to ask what weapon killed the prince, maybe the original poster is right. I think it was caused by a guided weapon launched by a high-altitude aircraft. The film said that it was 4 miles away from the target after launch. The artistic processing of the film is operated at the headquarters of the CIA in Langley, which is not easy, and there is a certain delay even after satellite operations. To be a digression, the plane may have taken off from the US military base in that virtual Arab country.
The prince said dissatisfied to the little prince who showed off his circuit system: It is difficult for Chinese to learn Arabic, and I hope that the little prince will do more to manage it. The prince always looked down on the little prince.
At the beginning of the film, China got an oil plant in an Arab country. The Chinese behind it said that they thanked everyone for their hard work, but the local manager said that the workers hadn't been certified for two weeks to get out. The laborers say that Chinese workers are smart, but they drive poorly.
The Arab girl segment at the beginning of the film tells you not to look at your openness, but you still have to obey the mainstream conservative society when you go out in Iran. This is to pave the way for the future and use BOB as a reference when answering senior officials about Iran.
Through the investigation, D (Dalton), who was found to be problematic, bribed high-ranking Kazakh officials, and the American oil company named Kellin who wanted to participate in the merger obtained the right to exploit Kazakhstan's oil fields.
I understand the name of the film as a fictitious Middle Eastern country. Syria is Syria. According to the official interpretation, this Syriana can be understood as an Arab ideal or by oneself.
The biggest highlight of the film is to expose the shamelessness of the United States and its oil giants. The so-called human rights, democracy, and freedom are all lies. What they want is to control oil, so that the domestic oil giants can make a fortune, so that China cannot develop. They want to overthrow Iran. It sounds good. In fact, from the fact that they killed the prince, it can be seen that it was fake, and it was true for the sake of oil. When the old agent said that the intelligence was not conducive to their launch of a war to overthrow Iran, he messed up his work. Much like 9/11, the intelligence scandal of the Iraq War.
