Why even have a title? I wrote it for myself.

I followed Operation Red Sea to watch. At the beginning, I was still muttering about American-style grumbles, explaining the backgrounds and stories of each soldier, and then I could basically guess which people needed the lunch box, and wondered how they got such a high score. When I saw that I was entering the combat state, I clicked the progress bar. It turned out to be two and a half hours! No wonder there is time for background! But it's all about fighting.

The battle was brutal and heart-wrenching, and the combat scene felt that the Red Sea should have learned from it, such as the scene with the broken finger. There is also a more realistic sense of combat in this film. There are no cool gun battles, tank battles, sniper battles, etc., and there is no shooting technique. They can also be timid and make mistakes, such as the recruits who fell from the helicopter before they entered the battlefield, such as the duo who was dropped by the convoy (because the film has always been relatively depressing, I don’t know when and who died, so these two The group can relieve the tense nerves a little). Somali militiamen and people were really frightened when they besieged and beaten 64 helicopter pilots and reinforcements. That scene can interpret the word despair.

Also, is the theme of this film about counterterrorism? But seeing the last soldier who said he was fighting for his brother, I don't quite understand the theme of the film.
