A movie that likes to say F**K more than pulp fiction (lots of spoilers)

Before leaving get off work, she was told by a colleague to attend a screening of a new movie for her. She walked in a hurry, and flew out of the office after explaining to me a few words, so that I didn't know what I was going to watch until the movie started.

The screening location is AMC in the city center. Since AMC was acquired by Wanda, it has opened up a lot of overseas markets for Chinese-language movies. Posters of new Chinese-language movies will be posted at the entrance of the theater in time. Recently, the theater has posted several pictures of the giant panda face from "Born in China" (Born in China). I found a good seat in the screening hall. It was still half an hour before the movie started. There were only a few people next to me who looked like old men. Later, a few middle-aged uncles came in. The movie started in less than ten minutes. I think, according to the number of heads and the viewing age group, it is probably Born in China.

When I was ready to quietly appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the Chinese nation, the beautiful golden monkeys and the adorable giant pandas, a subtitle appeared in the middle of the big screen, "Shortly after the end of the Iraq War..." ("▔ □▔) I can't remember the specific subtitles, but it probably introduces the time and place of the story. I was stunned at the beginning of the movie. After all, I was ready to watch the animal world for two hours, but suddenly the style of painting changed to the Middle East. The big desert, why, Lu Chuan is addicted to taking pictures of deserts? Before taking pictures of the subject, he has to lead the photography team to go around the Iraqi desert first?

The picture focuses on two black-faced American snipers from the vast desert. The two of them lie in the haystack all night in order to perform their mission, exhausted physically and mentally ( ✘_✘ ). Sniper B began to complain about this broken mission with Sniper A, which made him very uncomfortable, so they chatted awkwardly for about ten minutes, and the words were inseparable from F**K. Well, just when I started to think about whether to withdraw, Sniper B was probably too uncomfortable to lie on his stomach. He suddenly got up and decided to go to the crime scene not far away for a walk. The climax finally came, and Sniper B was attacked. Sneak attack, he was hit on the ground by a gun that flew out of nowhere, and Sniper A ran down to support his teammates and was honorably shot. This "wall" of the title of the film appears. And after watching the movie for nearly half an hour, I finally found out that this soot-faced male protagonist, Sniper A seems to be. . Aaron Johnson? Back then, the civilian hero Hai Bianxia who had no stunts and still liked to eliminate violence, the beautiful Anna lover, the perverted villain in the movie Nocturnal Animals at the beginning of the year, and Aaron Taylor Johnson, who just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor? ? Okay, let's go to him, I'll definitely keep watching this movie. (๑•̀ㅂ•́) ✧

After the male protagonist called his superiors for help to no avail, he could only deal with his wounds simply and rudely (here, the Aeron male god broke out again, the ancient Guan Gong scraped his bones to cure poison, and now there is an Aeron dagger to gouge out the flesh and get bullets! I think he It's also very nice to express the pain from the heart (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)) But as a fan girl audience, they silently covered their ears, so I didn't find the male god's voice so harsh.

The battle between the male protagonist and the Iraqi sniper across a wall is not as intense and exciting as the PK scene in the movie Soldier in the City, where there are also two snipers. After all, the Iraqi sniper is not only geographically located (sitting on a mountain of garbage), but also different from each other. All aspects are dominant, which makes me feel inexplicably distressed for the male protagonist after knowing that he is an actor I like very much.

After watching the whole movie, the plot is reasonable, the actors are in place, and the ending is perfect. Although an American uncle with a press card said The Ending is So Dark when he came out of the cinema, haha.
