I want to say everything, but I can't say anything

Another not-so-powerful movie, albeit with a strong cast.
The story is divided into three lines, a battlefield, an interview and a heart-to-heart talk. The professor worries about a student's future and hopes to change his mind and life through the example of two students he has taught. At this time, the two people standing on the edge of life and death on the battlefield were the students of the professor, and the content of the interview was the beginning of this small battle.
The three stories are interspersed with each other, and I wanted to use a special structure to tell the story, but it didn't work well. The whole article is three scenes alternately switched, and it becomes boring after two times. And the connection between the scenes is not smooth, you can only rely on a lot of dialogue to let you understand the connection of the stories that happened in the three scenes. As you can guess the process of switching, the conversation here comes to an end, and it must go to the next one.
At the same time, there are too many political opinions that this film wants to express. It criticizes all kinds of social and political issues, and in the end, what I want to express the most is not clear, and the sacrifice of the two soldiers is not at all. Shock me...

    10 - 7.5 points. There are piles of truths, and some deep thinking can be excavated under those truths. Not too ugly, but not to my taste. If you don't think it looks good for the first 15 minutes, just unplug it, otherwise it will feel like a waste of time.

    There are too many lines in the visual international journalism class

Lions for Lambs quotes

  • Senator Jasper Irving: What I can say is that this strategy has patience and determination at its core. It ensures that it puts our fighting men in spots where they can face, and fight, and kill the enemy, so that we can then go on about rebuilding that country. And if it takes ten years, that's how long we stay, we do whatever it takes.

    Janine Roth: [quoting the Senator] Whatever it takes.

    Senator Jasper Irving: Whatever it takes.

  • Janine Roth: Why did we send 150,000 troops to a country that did not attack us, and one-tenth that number to the one that did?

    Senator Jasper Irving: How many times are you people going to ask the same question?

    Janine Roth: Till we get the answer.
