A Private War

#Shanghai International Film Festival

From Sri Lanka to Iraq, Libya to Syria, the war ravaged every inch of land, every person, every grain of sand there, "Why did the world abandon us? Why did it abandon us?" The movie's name is "Private War", but these wars But it's not "private" at all, and it's very possible that things that really happened are unknown. But it is someone like Mary Colvin who conveys the truth as much as possible, even if she has given her the most precious life. Years of battlefield life buried fear and hesitation in Mary's heart. She was also at a loss, but when she took off her blindfold, when she showed her true face, the responsibility of a war reporter and the delicateness of a woman , A person's humanity is fully demonstrated. The film restores the war scenes with as real shots as possible. Even Mary’s sacrifice is almost without any modification and artistic treatment, but when describing her heart, a lot of flashbacks of memory fragments are used, starting with Holmes By the end of Holmes, both styles were beating the audience's hearts, and the tears couldn't stop streaming. Pei Chunhua is most suitable for the role of "Mary Colvin". Every look in her eyes is so real, deep and pure. Ps. Tearing eyes, tearing eyes?

    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 know.

    The war scenes are very shocking, and the story really can't move me. The intersection of daily life and field work is very confusing, and in short, very disappointing.

A Private War quotes

  • Newspaper Editor: Why is it important, do you think, to see this images? Why is it important for you to be there? Right now you may be one of the only Western journalists in Homs. Our team has just left.

    Marie Colvin: For an audience for which any conflict is very far away, this is the reality. There are 28,000 civilians, men, women and children, a city of the cold and hungry, starving, defenseless. There are no telephones. The electricity has been cut off. Families are sharing what they have with relatives and neighbors. I have sat with literally hundreds of women with infant children who are trapped in these cold, brutal conditions, unable to feed their children anything other than sugar and water for weeks on end. That little boy was one of the two children who died today. It's what happens every day. The Syrian regime is claiming that they're not hitting civilians, that they're just going after terrorist gangs. But every civilian house has been hit. The top floor of the building I'm in has been totally destroyed. There are no military targets here. It is a complete and utter lie.

    Newspaper Editor: Well, thank you for using the word " lie ". I think a lot of people wanna thank you, because it's a word we don't often hear, it's not often used, but it is the truth in this case. The Syrian regime, their representatives, have continually lied. They've lied on this program to us directly. Marie, I mean, you have covered a lot of conflicts over a long time. How does this compare?

    Marie Colvin: This is the worst conflict I've ever seen. It's the worst because it was a peaceful uprising that was crushed by violence. President Assad is sitting in his palace in Damascus in panic, the entire security apparatus his father built crumbling around him, and he is responding in the only way he's been taught how. When he was a child, he watched his father crush oppositions by shelling the city of Hama into ruins and killing 10,000 innocent civilians. He watched, as we're watching, a dictator killing with impunity. And the words on everybody's lips here are, " Why have we been abandoned? ". " Why? ". I don't know why.

  • Marie Colvin: Your apartment looks like Patrick Bateman's London nightmare.
