opening picture

picture at the end

They are the two upward shots at the beginning and the end, forming a head-to-tail response. This middle-aged man in a suit is standing in a village full of artillery fire. The ground is covered with finished bullet casings. It seems uncoordinated, but it highlights the arms Shang's image is tall and above the battlefield

At the beginning, the arms dealers were named at the expense of their lives in order to make money

At the end, it clarifies who is the real arms dealer

These two overhead shots are very close to the camera and the audience, and at this time, telling the deep core content behind them will affect the audience more deeply. The whole film seems to be a story he told, but the ending of the story makes people feel the cruelty of reality and reality.

Is it a cross, or a fork in the road?

At the junction of binary opposition, you have to make your own choices

These two long-distance overhead camera angles are very unique and have a strong relationship with the plot. The picture above is of his life's fork in the road, and finally chose to smuggle arms instead of running his family's restaurant.

The following is the time of the transaction, the lower left is the armed forces, and the upper right is the civilian who will be killed by the militants, and he and his younger brother are in the middle, in the middle, the younger brother objected to selling arms to them because of his kindness, while the older brother said that it had nothing to do with arms , which also foreshadows the divergence after this

previous business

business again

Gradually become bigger, from guns to large-scale ordnance, although he has not killed anyone, but the money is stained with human blood

Getting shot in first business

think

At this time, I was watching the first business, and the upside-down lens explained the confusion in my heart, and I was thinking about my future in the face of bullets. After that, the plot was obviously simplified. In reality, it will not be so easy to become bigger and stronger.

the most beautiful picture

The poor people scramble for arms, dismantle planes to sell for money, and arms dealers buy and sell arms for profit, the interests of the strong are to deprive the interests of the weak, this is the reality, but it is based on the interests of human life, in the end, arms Shang naturally and safely walked on the battlefield filled with gunpowder in suits and leather shoes

The Master said: The country is a country of a thousand vehicles, respecting and believing in things, saving money and loving others. In the past, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties were all based on the great harmony of the world, the people, the society and the grain were the most important, and the benevolence, righteousness and morality were the beauty. May the revival of Chinese culture, the capital interests of the mainstream of Westerners, and the prosperity and clarification of the world!

    I remember the last episode of the animated version of Rhode Island’s Chronicles is like this... "There is a boy who dreams of becoming a hero... He aims at light... He firmly believes that darkness can be driven out through battle... But there is also light. There must be darkness...the struggle between the two will never stop...After realizing this fact...the boy embarked on the path of becoming a hero of the gods..."

    Ironic is a little overwhelmed, but still excellent. One of the best movies starring Cage

Lord of War quotes

  • Yuri Orlov: I miss your Borscht, mom and dad say you're clean

    Vitaly Orlov: Yeah that's right, you've gone legit? That's hard to believe

    Yuri Orlov: Because it's not true I'm leaving tonight on a job

    Vitaly Orlov: I can't, I have a girlfriend and I think she might be the one plus I'm thinking of opening my own place

    Yuri Orlov: Maybe this will trip will help, its good money

    Vitaly Orlov: I've given my word

    Yuri Orlov: Nobody has to know, we'll tell everyone we're going for a little R and R

    Vitaly Orlov: What do you need me for all of a sudden?

    Yuri Orlov: Everything's fucked up more than usual. I can't trust anybody, I need you to watch my back

  • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] I was so caught up in the deal, I never realized what was going on in Vitaly's head. Come to think about it, maybe I never really understood what was going on inside his head. One thing I do understand for certain is that Vitaly broke the cardinal rule of gun running: never pick up a gun and join the customers. Only half the guns and ammunition was gone so I was still entitled to half the diamonds ,if I took them I was lost, if I left them I was still lost. The massacre played out exactly how Vitaly predicted but then half a dozen massacres happened Sierra Leone that week you can't stop them all, in my experience you can't stop any of them
