There are a lot of war-themed movies in China. The scenes are grand, the themes are noble, and the image of the hero is incomparably tall, but behind the scenes are tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers who died one after another like ants in front of the battle to call the hero in the middle. great decision. In the "Black Hawk Project", the binary opposition symbols and meanings (extension and implicit meaning) presented throughout the film are more obvious including "America: Somalia, First World: Third World, Stability: Unrest, Prosperity : poor, advanced: backward, white: black, army (well-trained): warlord (lawless), justice: evil, humane: cruel, outnumbered: enemy, murder justifiably: murder guilty, aboveboard: insidious and cunning, Audience Sympathy: Audience Disgust" and so on.

Every civilization has its own destiny, and the intervention of external forces often ends up being beaten by the enemy. Somalia is like this, North Korea is like this, and so is the Middle East.
