Watch this after watching Operation Red Sea. . . .

Watching this movie reminded me of the phrase in Wolf Warriors, "Those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away." It's just that China has not fought for many years after the self-defense counterattack, so for young audiences now, this sentence in Wolf Warrior is more like a warning with the majesty of a big country, a gesture of pride. Too much candy is easy to get tired, and Wolf Warrior is too focused on mobilizing the audience's patriotic emotions. In this regard, Lin Chaoxian is one of the best in chess. Operation Red Sea did not deliberately promote this sense of pride, but let the audience in the timely rescue of overseas Chinese, It is experienced in advanced military equipment, and at the same time, it expresses the cruelty and inhumanity of war through death and sacrifice, so that the audience understands that the meaning of a strong country is to ensure the peace and security of the people, and resorting to force is only an expedient measure. For the United States, which has been exposed to war for many years, watching such a movie may have different feelings, and it may be more hatred or rebellion than great power pride.

Because it is based on facts, the story of the movie is relatively simple and clear. However, for a war film, either dig deep into the nature and origin of war, reflect the cruelty and anti-human nature of war, and express anti-war thoughts, or make a big investment, simply and rudely intercept a story and bombard it visually. audience. And this film belongs to the type of two non-stick, just simply restore such a piece of history. And if it is not adapted from facts, some of the content is almost the same as some anti-Japanese dramas, such as the part of the American soldier charging on horseback. In addition, except for the captain and team deputy, other characters in the group are too flat. Brother Hammer also has a righteous face. He can't wait to have the word patriotism written on his face. Consciousness how to bring subordinates. On the other hand, in Operation Red Sea, there is a simple explanation of the character of everyone in the group, and the balance of the characters is completely explosive in this film.

Hey, let's not talk about it. In the future, the old beauty will learn more about how we shoot the popcorn war drama.

    The filming method of the main theme is the same as that of "Going Forward". There are many slots. For example, a soldier who has not rode a horse can shoot an arrow once on a horse for the first time. For example, the air support is always out of oil at critical moments... Michael Shannon's role is too much. Chicken ribs. Add a star to the two protagonists and the rare presentation of the "cavalry" image in contemporary war films. However, just like the Vietnam War movies in the 1980s and 1990s, it is estimated that similar films will continue to be made.

    The 65/100 12 strong is a good sample for what it would look like if Hollywood took over the xx action series in its entirety. For the adaptation of such legendary characters and events, if the focus is too much on the speculation of war, it may be a bit boring, but of course it depends on whose position you stand.
