Today we will talk about the movie "Blood Battle of Mosul".
The title is Mosul (2019), alias Mosul.
This is a film produced by Netflix. The story is based on the documentary "The Desperate Battle to Destroy ISIS" of the New Yorker magazine in February 2017. It tells the story of the Nineveh Special Police in Iraq to suppress ISIS. A tragic battle experience in.
This film should have been filmed by Iraqis. Except for the actors who used local actors, the production team all came from the United States. After all, Iraq still does not have the ability to produce a war-themed film, and it can only be done by outsiders.
Because of a can of washing powder, a sovereign country in Iraq was devastated to pieces. Saddam’s elite troops went underground and soon became the ISIS “Islamic State”. The land that was not easy became even more devastating.
Under the propaganda of foreign media, the Islamic State has adopted a brutal and repressive rule, which has become a cancer of world civilization. It is precisely because of the extreme attitude of the Islamic State that all forces want to get rid of it quickly.
↑↑Mosul in reality↑↑
Mosul was once the second largest city in Iraq and the capital of Nineveh Province. The Arabic word "Mosul", which means "point of connection", has long been an intermediate station on the "Silk Road" in history, and it is also a key link between Asia Minor and the Persian Gulf. The Islamic State and Iraq have been fighting here. The once prosperous city has been completely destroyed, the eyes have caused a depression, and there are ruined walls everywhere.
On June 10, 2014, the Islamic State occupied Mosul. Mosul has become the largest city controlled by the Islamic State in Iraq, and has gradually become the political, economic and military command center of the Islamic State, and the actual "capital". If the Iraqi side captures Mosul, it means gaining an advantage in the war.
In the early morning of October 17, 2016, Iraqi Prime Minister Abadi announced the start of the campaign to recover Mosul. A battle to regain the land began.
The background of the story in this film is also at this point in time. At the beginning of November 2016, the Iraqi special operations forces on the East Road invaded Mosul, fought with ISIS for a long time and suffered heavy casualties, and their superiors asked them to evacuate. Ten soldiers from the army left the team and formed the Nineveh Special Police to perform a top-secret mission.
The fighting in Mosul continued until July 9, 2017. After 9 months of fighting, the Iraqi government officially announced the complete liberation of Mosul.
When the documentary report was issued, the two parties in the story were still in a stalemate, and no one had a clear advantage.
Therefore, we can see that the Nineveh Special Police in the film does not have the protagonist's halo. He must be cautious every step of the way, and he will pay the price of his life if he is not paying attention.
The film uses extremely realistic shooting techniques, through endless street battles, to show a group of aspiring people seeking a new life in the ruins of the arduous journey.
The protagonist of the Nineveh Special Police is a strong combat force.
Nineveh Province is one of the eighteen provinces in Iraq. The members of the Nineveh Special Police are different from other professional soldiers and mercenaries. The members of the Nineveh Special Police have the tragic experience of family members being killed by the Islamic State. The purpose of their participation in the battle is to kill the people of the Islamic State and regain their homes. , Purely for revenge.
The Nineveh Special Police never kept alive when they caught the Islamic State. Even if the opponent raised his hand to surrender, it was still a bullet.
The Islamic State did the same with the Nineveh Special Police. The Islamic State will also give a chance to surrender if it catches the Iraqi government forces, and if it catches the Nineveh special police, it will be executed directly.
The two sides are completely in a state of a life-and-death fight, endless.
The Nineveh SWAT team looks very powerful, but the reality is rather miserable. They have no reinforcements, no supplies, like a lonely helpless army, a group of dead soldiers who have never returned.
This is truly expressed in the film. They need to buy off the local military and police, exchange ammunition with the militia, and their teammates who attacked the Islamic State together want to hold them accountable. This makes this lone army full of tragic colors.
The protagonist, Kawa, is a recruit who has just joined the local police force for two months. When he was under siege by the Islamic State, he was rescued by the special police of Nineveh led by Captain Jasim.
After some exchanges, Kava also joined the Nineveh SWAT team and began to perform a top secret mission he didn't know.
Kava had inquired about the contents of the top-secret missions, but he was always prevaried by various reasons, and the top-secret missions were not yet recognized by the Iraqi military and the U.S. military, which aroused the curiosity of the audience even more.
This top-secret mission was planned by Jasim, but the specific content is unknown. It was not until the end of the film that KaVo figured out the real mission.
Captain Jasim’s mission is to rescue the wives and daughters of teammates captured by the Islamic State.
After the Islamic State captures women, they will be forced to become sex slaves, and the wives and daughters of hostile military police will be the hardest hit area. The government army is unwilling to rescue teammates’ wives and daughters, which is thankless work, and the US military will not do it. Only oneself can do it.
Captain Jasim's love for his homeland is reflected in all aspects. Everywhere he goes, he will carefully clean the ground and clean up the garbage. He wanted to make his home clean and tidy, but he didn't expect to die for it.
Captain Jasim's philosophy is not only that, he also thought of rebuilding his home after the victory of the war.
He said, “Young people can have more children and more children, which means that we can rebuild the city at a faster speed.” He is willing to provide help to every child, even in dangerous areas, to reach out to children. .
The perennial war has made him realize that he can only rely on his own people to rebuild his home, and that outsiders will only wantonly plunder and leave a piece of chicken feathers.
Captain Jassim's ideas are full of idealism, and he chooses to move forward on a road full of thorns.
His ideas successfully infected the newcomer Kava. Kava, who joined the SWAT team for a short time, grew up quickly and decided to inherit the legacy of the old captain.
The film came to an abrupt end here. The good news in reality is that the Islamic State was completely wiped out in 2018.
Compared with the tragic experience of the Iraqi people, we can deeply appreciate the preciousness of peace.
If the country is not strong, the great powers will run in with washing powder at any time to share a piece of the pie, and then raise the ISIS-like cancer like a gu. At that time, only dead men like the Nineveh Special Police Force would be resisting in vain, and ordinary people would still suffer.
In times of danger, what we need to be vigilant about is to cultivate the big malignant tumor behind the scenes of the malignant Islamic State. This point will certainly not be reflected in the film. The Nineveh Special Police Team can do its best at the tactical level, but it cannot do anything at the strategic level.
The SWAT team who gave up their lives on top-secret missions,
Nine dead and devastated on the way home.
