From a score of 6.5 to 7, the hand-held photography with a huge amount of information that Green Grass is used to is still very good here, and the complexity of the political background has not dropped at all, but there are two shortcomings that I personally think are fatal, one is Without a vivid character standing up, Green Grass is talking about too many political things here to take into account the characters? But the character can't give up no matter what, because it is the key to attracting the audience, especially the motivation of the protagonist and the completion of the character arc are very weak here.
There is a plot in which Matt Damon lied to his boss, and when he chased the Iraqi man who gave them the information, he tore off his prosthesis, held a gun and asked him what he was running for, the man said aggrieved and scared, sir I'm beating you up, someone is chasing me, of course I'm going to run, I originally wanted to give you the notebook (information). After Matt Damon figured it out, he said, you give me information and I will pay you, and the man immediately said, do you think I am for money? I did it for my country and no one wants this to end more than I do. Matt Damon seemed bewildered, and that was the moment of the greatest emotional tension I've felt in the entire film, and if you take the line between Matt Damon and the Iraqi man at this extraordinary time Let’s be clear about the interchangeable relationship between enemies and friends. The arc of characters that come out may be larger, and the audience can be more empathetic.
Another is that the night scene chase should be the climax. The editing rhythm and soundtrack are so bloody, but because the characters in front were not erected, it was difficult for me to bring in the characters, even if Matt Damon risked his life And disobeying the orders from above to save the witness, it sounds brilliant, but the result is that you chase and run, I look at the darkness and want to sleep.
In the end, the United States got its wish to overthrow Saddam's regime, saying "this is a new Iraq, the end of tyranny and the beginning of freedom", but Iraq fell apart, and the situation seemed to be more chaotic, and then someone asked, when will the US military withdraw? Hehe the representative of the United States said, as long as they (we) needed. In the end Matt Damon exposed the deception of waging war, but what's done is done, is there less conspiracy and deception in political disputes?
