The sun has tears, how can people be ruthless

The narrative of the film is simple, the rhythm of the plot is compact, and the story is relatively complete. However, many turning points were not strong enough. For example, when he saw the burning village for the first time, the protagonist who was the captain had already expected such a result, and had seen such a scene many times, but because of the grief of the female protagonist, the heroine was overwhelmed with grief. Transforming a well-trained American military officer into a refugee-hearted hero amplifies humanitarianism. Except for the toughness of a soldier who just appeared on the stage, the protagonist's acting skills did not deepen the image of a soldier on the battlefield, and he was more like the father or friend of a female doctor. From simple compromise to repeated compliance, he lost his judgment. At the same time, there may also be ambiguity in the love of the heroine.

Returning to the film, it is worth mentioning that the change in the attitude of the signal troopers, the black people who have been reluctant to contact refugees more from the beginning of the film, after watching the enemy abuse the civilians, and after talking with the church girl refugee, they also expressed their hearts. Maybe when he stopped the officer from saving the persecuted village, he didn't realize that he cared about the safety of the refugees, but when he held down an enemy who was abusing civilians, the persecution of African-Americans seemed to happen to him. , stabbed the enemy to death with a sharp knife without any mercy, and from that moment, he vaguely no longer felt that he was just a soldier on a mission, and he had reason to protect these people of the same color as him. From this, I really understood what the captain was doing.

In the final battle, although some soldiers died, luckily the director did not arrange for extra parting scenes. The comrades took ammunition from the deceased and hurriedly retreated without stopping for a moment, highlighting the real battle situation, but the captain explained it. The phrase "I have a few people who died on the battlefield" after the mission was completed made me feel a little random. (After all, everyone dies for refugees, and there are one or two scenes before death, which is really thought-provoking.) The

camera shot several times for a female refugee to shoot a gun, and the previous American soldier rescued the village and killed it. Like young soldiers, they all want to highlight a theme. In war-torn areas, weakness and cowardice cannot be tolerated. Survival is armed force, and compassionate humanity is built in areas of long-term peace. Those educated people who see these feel Cruel, but never thought that this is the law of survival in this region. Maybe one day, this region will be peaceful, but the history behind every peace has paid a painful price. Perhaps the prince saved today is the scourge of another massacre tomorrow.

The quotation in the last sentence of the film is really the finishing touch, but it is still a relative understanding. After all, no matter who is waving the flag of today, it is for a moment of justice in the heart of yesterday, and they have not thought too much about whether tomorrow is still firm.

    It is in line with the international image and humanistic spirit that the United States promoted at that time. Although the characters are symbolized and the story is flat, Bruce Willis' personal charm still adds a lot to the film.

    This is a good film that establishes the glorious image of the US police in the world. I have to admire the propaganda methods of the Americans. The truth is not contrived. Our heaven should learn from it.

  • Michael 'Slo' Slowenski: Are we there yet?

  • [first lines]

    Female news reader: [voiceover] The tension that had been brewing for months in Nigeria exploded yesterday as exiled General Mustafa Yakubu orchestrated a swift and violent coup against the democratically elected government of President Samuel Azuka. In a land with 120 million people and over 250 ethnic groups, there'd been a long-standing history of ethnic enmity, particularly between the Fulani Moslems in the north and Christian Ibo in the south. The victorious Fulani rebels have taken to the streets as periodic outbursts of violence continue all over the country. Tens of thousands have been killed in the fighting or executed thereafter. Fearing ethnic cleansing, the majority of the Ibo have abandoned their homes, and are fleeing the city or searching for sanctuary wherever they may find it. For now, General Yakubu has taken control of most of the country and appears firmly in charge. There's no word yet on the United Nations' reaction to the coup, but United States forces have already begun to evacuate its embassy.
