Most people always think that terrorists who engage in body bombs will believe in primitive teachings, with expressionless faces and only want to die. Nothing can be stuffed into the head except to achieve the goal or the goal. But the terrorists in "Four Lions" can not only talk about the social situation, but also surf the Internet, and can even go abroad for training. Muslims who abide by the teachings are polite, but these normal guys are hot-headed and radical, and they go to the road of no return. Yet none of us have ever dealt with terrorists, so it's hard to believe which scenario is true. But according to the general situation, the movie is difficult to be true. Just like the dark version of The Lion King compiled in the middle, Simba threw a stone and killed the old father. We will not take these brainless terrorists seriously. They only You can wear fat props and costumes for passers-by to entertain.
Regardless of whether it is about anti-government troops in Northern Ireland or Muslim terrorists, "Four Lions" is a typical British comedy, with exaggerated characters, and it is not uncommon to export it as "dirty". The film is filled with a lot of dialogue, jokes, reprimands and rebuttals, often a few people get together to exchange fire, and the excitement is endless. For the better part of an hour I could live with it, but I was a little tired when this unbridled, hard-edged dialogue became the only means of cinematic expression. While lacking the overall sense of rhythm, it also restricts the characters to a dead end. They can only say that the content of the performance is monotonous and unchanged. I'm not sure what a good movie should be like, but at least it should have a certain picture narrative, not just the dialogue that comes out of the mouth. Some people will say that Woody Allen is not the same? That's really different, like the obvious thematic differences, like the more elaborate framing. I believe that those guys who like to use American TV series and BBC productions as English listening and speaking training will not like this film. Who cares about this strange English accent?
"Four Lions" tells a silly comic, a few terrorists with brain degeneration is the best example, it will make the audience feel a sense of IQ superiority, thereby ignoring the logic of reality and equality considerations. The film cannot face the terrorism of the new century head-on, let alone explore the root causes behind it. In the process of constantly rotten, we will be like the terrorists, and in the end they will find that they don't know what they are fighting. It's like a futile battle. This kind of comedy is terrible -- at least I don't like it. [Southern Metropolis Daily]
Jihadists are like a bunch of half-hilarious half-cute idiots who can do anything. The film downplays conflict, and if it were a burlesque comedy, we wouldn't find the behind-the-scenes cause of a global catastrophe.
