What a neat way? The opening of the film explains several scenes, such as Nairobi in Kenya, London in the United Kingdom, and the Nevada Air Force Base in the United States, which seems to be no different from the popular Hollywood blockbuster in recent years, where the locations of various countries are piled up to create a "big picture". But as the plot deepens, you will find that these scenes are not the objects of sightseeing tours, but an indispensable part throughout the whole film. Except for the exterior scene around the house in Kenya, all the other scenes are very fixed indoors, trying to avoid the complicated background pictures that distract the audience. Although there are many characters, but due to the proper casting, these good actors can set up the characters very clearly and neatly without much ink and without confusion. The first is the family of a little Kenyan girl. Although they are obviously not handsome and beautiful, the simple happiness of the father secretly letting his daughter read and the little girl playing hula hoops in the sun makes it hard for the audience not to feel their happiness. beautiful.
Although this film seems to have a lot of lines, the Guangmeiying side is the four main lines of the headquarters, the high-level decision-making meeting, the US military base operations department, and the undercover brother unit, but it is handled neatly and neatly, not messy, just tight and dead. With this action, unfolding from all aspects and angles, everyone's position is right or wrong, for the audience to think about.

Whether the redundancies of the legal requirements combined with the redundancies created by the political striving to please the media are necessary. From a utilitarian point of view, the existence of this system seems to be only an obstacle to solving the problem under the circumstances at the time. Why should the two missiles be able to solve the problem? However, the fact is that it is this redundancy and cumbersomeness that allows the human nature in society to breathe in this redundancy and cumbersomeness, makes the voice of the weak conveyed in this redundancy and cumbersomeness, and makes all The selfishness and desire for power converge in this redundancy and cumbersomeness.
The war has become so quiet and detached, and the characteristics of the new era of transnational cooperative operations are very well reflected.
