Review Eye in the Sky

The film is very good, the script is solid, and it feels a bit like 13 angry men. Why do some people think it's fake, because we rarely see the high moral standards of the people in the film, the second is that they don't understand that it takes so much red tape to launch a missile in a country where the law is supreme, and finally, some people feel like they are whitewashing . In fact, if you have watched the films directed by Gavin Hood, you will find that he likes to discuss the moral dilemma in war situations. Who is right or wrong, because obviously there is no perfect solution, and the director does not intend to whitewash anyone. The weakness of the civil servants at the critical moment here, and the military attachés making false data to cover up the facts are all shameful things. The title of Eye in the sky is God's perspective, calm and objective, this perspective is to tell the audience that even though war has become so modern, you can kill a person thousands of miles away like playing a PS4, but the essence is still as cruel as thousands of years of war, even if fighting Personnel were absent from the scene throughout, but their humanity was equally devastated. The beginning of the film characterizes the film well: in the war, the first sacrifice is the truth.
