"The Hunt for Bin Laden": The Ultimate Hunt Without Seeing Your Face

This should have been a big hit at the Oscars, but it has encountered too many similar films with political significance, the American theme of "Lincoln", and the tampered ending of "Escape from Tehran". No match for Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained". Even Jennifer Lawrence, who turned into a shrew, can easily beat Jessica Chastain to win the best female lead, and in the end it's nothing. It only won the best sound effect award, which is very different from the harvest of female director Catherine Bigelow's small-cost "The Hurt Locker". Fortunately, in addition to the Oscars, there are many experts who know the goods. They have won a lot of more professional Best Picture Awards and Best Director Awards, and they have also become one of the top ten films selected by many in 2012. , it can be considered that the director's strength has been more justly affirmed.

In fact, for the two-and-a-half hours, the really exciting part is the hunt that lasts less than half an hour. The extortion of confessions by executions and personnel transfers in the previous paragraphs did not have much to offer, and a car explosion and several small shooting incidents only slightly moved the heartstrings. And it’s a pity that after finally getting in touch with bin Laden, the world’s number one hunter, the real protagonist of the film only showed his head and chin beard for a moment. Familiar with a little bit of voice and appearance to imagine. After the anti-American fighter Che Guevara of the year, another fighting chicken in the rooster fell under the guns of the Americans. Such a moment is still enough to make people think and sigh.

Wild fire, in spring. If one bin Laden falls, it is unknown whether thousands of bin Laden will stand up! The only fact is that there are so many anti-American fighters, from the common people to the heads of state, whether openly or secretly, whether they are bombing or bombing, it seems that everyone has a common goal. I don't know if these people are crazy, or if the Americans are broken, it just makes the onlookers feel that the world is too crazy.

There is a small episode outside the film that is worth a meal. The gunman in the film who actually shot Osama bin Laden, according to news reports, "lives in embarrassment after retiring, without pensions, medical insurance and jobs. Due to the lack of security protection, He was worried about possible retaliation for his family." His wife said: "He has done a lot for the country and now he seems to be forgotten...I feel no support, not only for my family but for some other families." The gunman" said that if he had died while on a special mission, the family might have a better life than it is now. "Sadly, it might have been better if I had been killed." Regardless of whether the gunman's life is good or not, I just hope he doesn't become the next bin Laden.

    Personally feel that the rhythm is very good, not dull. It is more mature, meticulous, and calm than "The Hurt Locker", and more deeply explores the irrationality, cruelty, and distortion of warfare. This is not an advocacy of American victory, but a revelation and questioning of the world sleeping at midnight at midnight. At the same time, this is also the most female perspective and attitude in Bigelow's recent films!

    It's clean, there is no extra sensational shot, but it is destined to be uncomfortable. This discomfort comes from two points. One is the display of prisoner abuse (which has also become an internal controversy in the college). If it were not for the true record of the SEALs, the end of the script would not be like this at all. No wonder many people would think it was a documentary. Only a man can shoot such a heroine

Zero Dark Thirty quotes

  • Maya: [to Navy SEALs] Quite frankly, I didn't even want to use you guys, with your dip and velcro and all your gear bullshit. I wanted to drop a bomb. But people didn't believe in this lead enough to drop a bomb. So they're using you guys as canaries. And, in theory, if bin Laden isn't there, you can sneak away and no one will be the wiser. But bin Laden is there. And you're going to kill him for me.

  • Justin - DEVGRU: So Patrick, be honest with me. You really believe this story? I mean

    [turns to Maya]

    Justin - DEVGRU: no offense, no offense, I don't.

    [turns away]

    Justin - DEVGRU: But... Osama bin Laden?

    Patrick - Squadron Team Leader: Yeah.

    Justin - DEVGRU: What part convinced you?

    Patrick - Squadron Team Leader: Her confidence.

    Justin - DEVGRU: That's the kind of concrete data point I'm looking for. I'll tell you buddy, if her confidence is the one thing that's keeping me from getting ass-raped in a Pakistani prison I'm gonna honest with you, bro. I'm cool with it.
