Criticism

Jarret 2022-03-22 09:02:05

I don't know if I watched too many movies or what, but I felt that the movie I was looking forward to was not vulgar. Except for a good theme, the content was not very good. In fact, such a good theme should be well written, otherwise it will be blind. Because no one has written about it before. As a result, both the part of saving the little girl and the part of the fat Indian who died at the hands of his companions, although they were all meant to show off the bravery of the warriors, the result made me feel vulgar. In addition, at the beginning, I thought that the main point of the story was how to protect the cryptographer, but later, I didn’t describe it in detail. It was just a request for support in a secret language. At that time, it was okay to say it without a secret language, right?
In short, it does not reflect the real value of the coders. It is not as good as our country's anti-Japanese war movie. It also describes how our heroes were tortured in the scum cave, and I still feel heartbroken after watching it.
Maybe the war theme can't run away and sacrifice it. Anyway, now I don't like watching war movies, especially those with the title of "blockbuster". The higher the expectations, the higher the disappointment.
