    The narrative technique of the death countdown to the circular structure is only to emphasize the side of the multifaceted event that is more in line with the film's position: Colvin survived Kosovo, Chechnya, Iraq and Libya, but she fell in Syria! But Assad is still standing... so you...

    There are many female reporters in the version of "The Hurt Locker", which closed the film in the way of "falling down" the narrative. As the big heroine, Big Sister Pei pretends to be ugly, her voice is suppressed, she is completely naked, and her eighteen martial arts skills, such as post-traumatic sequelae, are not sublimated. The archetypal facts and the main theme are there, and the two camps are blooming. "War" death is her best choice. If I could give four stars, the subtitles group...

    First of all, the wrong actor was chosen. Pei's temperament is saturated with the political correctness of the white left and the sense of self-superiority of a missionary. In this world, there is no list of things that are more important. As the journalist who died, of course, he was involved and made some kind of rare practice; but as a film based on this , what do you want to express? There have always been many scary corners even on the kang in Yan'an. And people's choices and actions in...

    1. Aunt Pei's acting skills are already god-level. 2. War always hurts those innocent people, always. 3. It's really hard to see a movie story with an original script now....

    In covering war, can we really make a difference? I like Pei Chunhua's performance, but the experience in the war zone is not as attractive as the heroine's life outside the gunpowder PS: The ending song loves Samsung and a...

    From the protagonist's personal point of view, it is said that war reporters are somewhat crazy to go to and from dangerous areas again and again to witness people and events. It does not specifically emphasize her private life, work content and its meaning, but more on her mental...

    A journalist's job is to find the truth

    The job of a reporter is to find the truth: There are two kinds of reporters, one is a soulless person who gives money to others, so this type also lacks a sense of justice and kindness. They will not and dare not challenge it. Red line, to dig deeper into the truth. The other is conscientious...

    Private war

    The advantage of this film, I think of the phrase "emotional but not erotic." The female lead has exposed scenes, but there is nothing uncomfortable, and there is no sense of emotional desire. It is actually very plain and narrative, and I don’t know it is a film. Too much righteousness, or the...

A Private War quotes

  • [first lines]

    Interviewer: Last question. Fifty years from now, some youngster's gonna pull this disc out of a box and maybe make a judgment about becoming a journalist. What would you want that youngster to know about Marie Colvin and about being a war correspondent?

    Marie Colvin: Very difficult question. It's like writing, uh, your own obituary. I suppose to look back at it and say, you know, I cared enough to go to these places and write, in some way, something that would make, uh, someone else care as much about it as I did at the time. Part of it is you're never gonna get to where you're going if you acknowledge fear. I think fear comes later,

    [realization chuckle]

    Marie Colvin: when it's all over.

  • Marie Colvin: [about Norm] He was always first in and last out. He was invincible.

    Paul Conroy: There are old journalists and there are bold journalists. There are no old and bold journalists. You said that.
