feel good film

Class trip to see this movie, another movie about a white hero rescuing innocent third world people. But it is true that the heroine is admirable. After returning from a different war zone, drinking martini and fucking different men is not something everyone can do. A classmate next to her cried with red eyes, and I didn't know what she was crying. I just thought I was useless. Even the heroine herself has written so many sentimental stories and sacrificed her own life, trying to educate more people's real stories and experiences. But the white leftists who read the New York Times also read the article, sighed, took a sip of coffee, put down the newspaper, and continued their peaceful life. Instead, the action of reading the newspaper made them feel much better about themselves, as if they had put in effort to pay attention to the suffering people in the far-flung Middle East.

It's also like we went to see this movie and felt that we commemorated a life that brought justice to the world who died in the line of duty. After watching the movie, we shed two tears, bought a cold stone ice cream, and continued our dick life. The world continues to be bad.

A Private War quotes

  • Title Card: In 1986, Marie Colvin began a career as a war correspondent writing on the frontlines of every major conflict from Iraw to Afghanistan to Syria.

  • [first lines]

    Interviewer: Last question. Fifty years from now, some youngster's gonna pull this disc out of a box and maybe make a judgment about becoming a journalist. What would you want that youngster to know about Marie Colvin and about being a war correspondent?

    Marie Colvin: Very difficult question. It's like writing, uh, your own obituary. I suppose to look back at it and say, you know, I cared enough to go to these places and write, in some way, something that would make, uh, someone else care as much about it as I did at the time. Part of it is you're never gonna get to where you're going if you acknowledge fear. I think fear comes later,

    [realization chuckle]

    Marie Colvin: when it's all over.
