First, the scene about the casualties of American soldiers. In many anti-war films in the past, the tragic scenes of American soldiers flying with blood were often used to stimulate anti-war sentiment among the people. But in this film it's the exact opposite. There are two main types of American casualties in the film. One is to reflect the hero's fearless spirit of sacrifice. For example, the unfortunate colonel's military doctor, and the protagonist's companion were punched in the thigh, all to reflect the danger of the environment. And it is in such a dangerous environment that the protagonist insists on continuing the mission and pursuing the anti-American terrorists, in order to bring those villains who are hiding in the dark to justice (this is the protagonist's own line), which is very blatant. Personal heroism. Another type of American casualties is to reflect the strength of the protagonist, such as the mentally retarded special pursuit team that captured the Plum Blossom 9. Their deaths are to reflect the calmness and strength of the protagonist in that sniper battle.
The second is about scenes such as Iraqi casualties. All the rendering of the Iraqis in the film is to illustrate a problem, that is, the Iraqi people are living in dire straits and they need American help. The most noteworthy point is that all Iraqis killed and injured in the film were all committed by anti-American terrorists, and the Americans represented by the protagonists played the role of saviors. For example, why did he order the cancellation of the blasting after he discovered that the Iraqi boy's body had been transformed into an adult bomb? Why take the risk to lift the bomb, and then take out the little boy's body so that it can be restrained? When he looked at the corpse, there was grief and anger in his eyes, and he acted like a god (and his anger exploded during the night after the terrorists). There is also the last battle. In order to save the person who didn't want to die, the protagonist tried his best to fight until the last moment before retreating, and he was almost killed. Another image of God. The plot is set to be unsuccessful in the rescue operation, bombed or killed, which is entirely to illustrate the ferocity of Iraqi anti-American forces. There is also the plot of Iraqi children selling pornography, which is very realistic. The key point of this plot is to describe the love and concern reflected in the protagonist's relationship with the little boy, and it is also an image of God. Why do you say that? Please note that at the end of the film, the protagonist finds out that it was not Beckham who was disemboweled. When Beckham was alive and well, the protagonist was so angry. Why was he so angry? . This part is very human.
In the end, the end of the film actually points out the main point. First of all, the protagonist and the black soldier exchanged in the car why they should be born and die here. They seem to be confused and anti-war. In fact, this is to promote first restraint. Because in the end, after experiencing such ideological struggles, such dangers and tests, and the warmth of family happiness, the protagonist still cannot forget the dangers faced by the Iraqi people, the needs of national interests, and resolutely I left my family and went back to Iraq. It's good. I don't believe it if you said that he was not killed by God. To be honest, this ending is really disgusting.
In fact, Sergeant James in this film is completely the incarnation of the United States of America, and is completely the concentrated bearer of American values. The hero's personal hero image represents the national unilateralism of the United States. Such films are entirely for the government's favor, for arms dealers, and for oligarchs. They are films that completely deceive the American people. Such a film with strong political overtones must overwhelm the superficial works of pure technology and pure entertainment such as "Avatar" with eyes closed. In fact, the ideological control of the United States is much stronger than ours, but the means are more sophisticated.
