"Lion Into the Sheep's Mouth"

On the surface, "Lion in the Mouth"
is a movie about the United States following the battlefield in Afghanistan. When it was downloaded, its category was listed as a "war movie", but it only had less than one-third of the war scenes, let alone The hot visual effect is more like a conversation between two people who seem to have nothing to do with war. Not a war movie but a feature film? Ethics film? Art films? What a movie is is just a way of categorizing it doesn't have to be set, but I can say it's a real movie.
Two outstanding students give up their studies because of their personal idealism but join the war. What will happen in the process of their actual idealism? A professor's long talk with a gifted but subject-minded student; a veteran journalist invited to visit by a politician she once thought was a future star. The director can be said to be a genius. These three things seem to be unrelated to each other like three parallel lines of money, but after watching this movie, I find that these "three lines" are actually connected to one point, wonderful! Two very boring dialogues, a war without scenes, how can this movie be good?
"Thoughts", because this phone has "thoughts" that make you have to fall into deep thinking after watching it. What thought? Take some time to see it, you'll think it's worth it, even if you miss two hours of sleep.

Personal recommendation level: Strong recommendation.

Lions for Lambs quotes

  • Todd Hayes: Who never says anything even though he never stops talking.

  • Professor Stephen Malley: The decisions you make now, bud, can't be changed but with years and years of hard work to redo it... And in those years you become something different. Everybody does as the time passes. You get married, you get into debt... But you're never gonna be the same person you are right now. And promise and potential... It's very fickle, and it just might not be there anymore.

    Todd Hayes: Are you assuming I already made a decision? And also that I'll live to regret it?

    Professor Stephen Malley: All I'm saying is that you're an adult now... And the tough thing about adulthood is that it starts before you even know it starts, when you're already a dozen decisions into it. But what you need to know, Todd, no Lifeguard is watching anymore. You're on your own. You're your own man, and the decisions you make now are yours and yours alone from here until the end.
