Good Kill movie plot

2022-01-17 08:01
Fighter pilot and major Thomas Egan used to fly F16 fighter jets in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now he is still in charge of flying missions in Southeast Asia, but his working place is 7,000 miles away in Nevada. He is now a drone pilot. The story is not about the future of war, but about the present. After eight hours of fighting with the Taliban, Thomas returned to his home in the suburbs and faced his wife and children who had been at odds with him for a long time. This was a new type of schizophrenia brought about by the war.
However, the picture Thomas saw was so vivid, as he said, "Once you have seen it, you can no longer ignore it." He began to disconnect from the real life. There is a voyeuristic element in his mission. Most of his work is surveillance. He observes the interaction between the target and his family, eating, sleeping, and playing until he receives an order to get rid of the person. Thomas’ own family is facing disintegration, and what’s worse is that drones’ targets are gradually increasing, such as “double shooting” (attack the target and then strike a second attack on reinforcements), funeral attacks, and “discrimination attacks” (anything that meets terrorist requirements). Molecular definitions have all become targets of attack), and these attacks are issued from a country where there is no war, which makes him question his work.

    Good kill should mean hit the target. . . Just like watching the leaked video of the U.S. military's long-range aerial clearing, normal people with sympathy and empathy will not feel that the United States is doing a righteous thing.

Good Kill quotes

  • Jack Johns: Last time I checked we were not at war with Yemen.

    Langley: [over phone] While we respect state sovereignty, Colonel, we're facing a sub-state adversary who abides by no rules. By necessity, this war on terror has become borderless.

  • Langley: [over phone] The subject on the left... what is she doing?

    Vera Suarez: I believe she is picking an arm off the tree... Sir.
