At the beginning of the film, the U.S. Navy officer orders a rescue mission to the subordinate "SEAL" special commando Captain Waters (Bruce Willis), because of the threat of Nigerian rebels, Dr. Lena (Mo Nicola Bellucci), two nuns and a priest are in great danger. Originally thought it would be easy to take Lena away, but Lena's insistence on the professional ethics of doctors and her sympathy and compassion for refugees made Waters difficult. Lena could leave, but only on condition that she brought the refugees with her. Naturally, Waters would not agree easily. Under the mutual compromise, the two sides reached an agreement: those who have the ability to walk independently can leave with the team. Disabled and seriously ill wounded can only stay, the priest and two nuns voluntarily gave up the opportunity to leave, showing the religious feelings of charity.
Lena's confrontation with Waters is the main thread of the dramatic conflict. In order to complete the mission of a soldier, Waters used deception to trick Lena into a rescue plane and abandoned the refugees. Lena was grieved, and the refugees suddenly realized. As a soldier, Waters is not wrong, and it can even be said that the task is completed beautifully. But Tevos is, after all, a person with flesh and blood. Looking down at the refugees' desperate eyes from the plane, and listening to Lena's wailing, he finally couldn't help the call of the kind soul in his heart, and resolutely decided to let the old, weak, sick and disabled refugees come on board. airplane. The rest were led by commandos to the safety of the Cameroonian border, where they were picked up by the US military. Tevos could have ignored the refugees, who had nothing to do with him, but once the decision was made, it had to be paid for.
Peace in Nigeria has been shaken by a brief but bitter war over ethnic conflict and oil supplies, and a sudden coup that resulted in the assassination of the president's family is the backdrop for the film's story. In this context, the story of the film is not just as simple as the American soldiers successfully rescued the American female doctor. There is no inevitable conflict between the rebels and the US military, and the pursuit of unarmed refugees will not be so persistent and clinging. The Nigerian rebels' pursuit of the former president's only son is a secondary clue to the dramatic conflict, serving as a hidden thread in the story during the escape, until Twos realizes that his tracks are being followed and finds out the inner ghost. The only son of the president finally revealed his identity, and the main line and the sub-line of the dramatic conflict were successfully handed over. The confrontation between Lena and Waters, who originally served as the main line, no longer existed, and became a relationship of trust and cooperation. The pursuit of everyone by the rebels escalated into a major conflict.
The footage of the film begins with the USS Truman aircraft carrier, from far to near, the huge deck of the aircraft carrier comes into the audience's field of vision, accompanied by huge noises, several fighter jets skillfully rise and fall. All of this is showing the great power of the United States, the world's leading modern military weapons, well-equipped combat equipment, and well-trained special forces. If only relying on these force to show off, the United States' conquest of the world will not appear too overbearing. The strong national strength is only the support of national values, and to win the world's recognition, we have to rely on the slow penetration of the silent culture. The American concept of democracy and the feelings of salvation are all filled with similar military films, and the wonderful scenes cannot reverse the disgust of smart audiences. However, this film does not have a direct slogan-style mission. It taps the true feelings of human nature, which is extremely heart-wrenching and moving.
The film is named Tears of the Sun, probably out of compassion for Nigerian civilians. All things grow on the sun. However, for these refugees, even if the sun shines, they still live in dire straits. In this part of the African continent, ordinary people just want a quiet life. They don't seek wealth, they don't even have the concept of wealth, they just want to survive from generation to generation. The entanglement of interests in human society involves them innocently, becoming the victims of the chaotic state of the regime. Here we can intuitively feel how important the prosperity and stability of a country is. When people's survival becomes a problem, liberal democracy is even more of an extravagant talk. Refugees in Nigeria have no desire to harm others, but no hope of their own lives. If there are tears in the sun, which is in charge of all things, it is destined to shed.
Behind the tears of the sun is the brilliance of human nature. When the coldness of military orders and the warmth of human nature collide, it seems that as a soldier, the first choice is to obey orders. However, the Chinese classical logic of "the general will be outside, the king's order will not be accepted" is in the American special forces. It is staged on the body, under difficult choices, sympathy and compassion overcome mechanical obedience, and the cold and hard professional soldier is reduced to a warm "human" itself. The universal value of the goodness of human nature transcends countries, regions, races and skin colors. It travels through the jungles of the African continent, breaking through the obstacles of the dark and humid dangers, and finally ushering in the sunshine, adding a touch of human beauty to the rosy sky. .
