      The assembly call sounded abroad~

      The film tells the story of a group of Irish boys under the leadership of a commander, Quinlan, who has never been on the battlefield, swearing to the death to defend Adorville. The film adopts a documentary style without much rendering. It truly describes the Irish United Nations. The story of the peacekeeping forces defending the territory is familiar in the course of the story, which always reminds people of the Lunar New Year movie assembly of that year. The same plot, different positions,...

      This is probably the magical heroism in the history of war

      The hard and fast rules for handing in homework

      As one of the few war movies I watched, I actually have a faint feeling of admiration for this category of movies. After all, the current peace is exchanged for the blood and tears of the predecessors. However, due to the fact that I have a weak endurance of the R-class in my heart, I rarely choose to watch blockbuster movies on this subject unless it is necessary.

      Probably I was spoiled in advance. This was a great discount to my...

      The UN's interference in other countries' internal affairs was severely beaten

      The UN forces once again interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, and the colonial people rose up against the imperialist invaders, hahaha.

      It is currently the best war film of 2016. The introduction is somewhat different. The mercenaries in the film belong to a Belgian-controlled company, and there is nothing to do with France. The Irish battle was only a small part of the Yadauville incident. I felt that the film was exaggerated. It was a bit like a domestic drama, the...

      Every one of our Congolese black uncles died three times

      Biographical film style, so there are stages in the story rhythm, it can't be said to be tight or not tight, after all, this is how things develop.
      It's not right or wrong, good or bad, it's history itself.
      If you feel your personal feelings after watching it, swallow it warmly. Maybe it's because the physical condition is not very good, so it still looks a little difficult. Not every movie is called "Gandhi Biography".

      Let me tell you a little bit, I couldn't calm down for...

      Just look at it as a joke. If it was really like this, it would be a bit too much.

      I gave it two stars because this wheel has not been aired before, and it was only after watching it that I knew it was still released, which is considered to be of historical value. At a glance, it seems that the online information is relatively brief, and the encyclopedia does not clearly state the casualties of both sides.
      Some people on the Internet say it is an Irish drama. It's very divine. At that time, if it really played as in the film, it would be considered to be playing at a...

      I don't think he is a hero, but a pawn in politics. It is a wise move not to choose heroic sacrifice. It is not worth dying for such a...

      A group of Irish soldiers, sent to Congo as a UN peacekeeper during the Cold War, fought a desperate war between the United States and the Soviet Union. The low-cost war scenes were well shot, but under the complex political situation, the helpless and helpless little people who "do not know who to fight for" did not dig deeply, so it became a mere formal war action film, which is also consistent with netflix. Web drama...

      This is the first time I watched UN troops fight, and this history was not chosen very well. Or are fictional stories more powerful, there are too many constraints in real deeds, and not everyone dares to kill Hitler like Quentin did. The war scene was not tragic enough, resulting in the ending without much sympathy. Should there be more panoramic displays of the progress of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Pat Quinlan: Not many Frenchmen like German tacticians. It only took them two weeks to take over your entire country.

    • Charles Cooley: What's it like getting shot?

      Pat Quinlan: I wouldn't recommend it.

    • Rene Faulques: You do realize that you are outnumbered by a factor of twenty.

      Pat Quinlan: I see a lot of dead men here. None of them are mine.
