In 2003, the US and Iraq went to war, and the US military entered Iraq almost in a one-sided manner. Warrant Officer Roy Miller, who led the search for WMDs (weapons of mass destruction) in Iraq, returned empty-handed every time, so he began to doubt the accuracy of the intelligence. By chance, he discovered the trace of a general in Iraq (the J of clubs in poker), and in order to obtain the intelligence of WMD, he searched with all his strength. However, as the arrests continued, he slowly discovered the hidden secrets of the U.S. government—it turned out that there was no WMD at all, everything was just a lie, a huge lie weaved for the U.S. "invasion" of Iraq . The US government is also happy to use the pretext of lies to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein's regime. The United States is only for its own political and economic interests. However, on the battlefield, it is unknown how many American soldiers died, and how much money was lost. The Iraqi general died in the capture, and perhaps no one will ever come forward to reveal the truth. So the fact that exists in the heart can only wait for later generations to comment.

"The Green Zone" was adapted from the work of the Washington Post correspondent Rajiv Chandraskaran in Baghdad. Unlike the first two films that Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass co-operated with, which were rated PG-13, "Green Zone" was rated R by MPAA. billions of dollars in cost. Personally, I don't think it's the film itself, but the subject matter. This is an anti-war film with profound political significance that truly exposes the fact that the United States invaded Iraq. Compare "The Hurt Locker" to find out the reasons for anti-war from the root. Perhaps because it is too real, Americans are reluctant to admit that their government is so unbearable. In fact, people are all the same, whether Chinese people or Americans who like to think of themselves as freedom and democracy, put their interests first and don't like their real and ugly ideas to be publicized to the world. There are too many shaking shots of tracking shooting in the film, which makes people dizzy after watching it. In addition, due to the setting of the storyline of the film itself, Matt Damon does not have much room to play, and is more like an ordinary actor. This is in stark contrast to him in The Bourne Bourne. This film is not mainly action-oriented, but there are also a lot of gunfights, making the whole film a bit fragmented. I personally prefer to listen to the dub of the shoes and the car walking on the gravel in the film.
