Reality

It's okay, with animals as the theme, tear gas is a must, telling some things on the battlefield, the tension is not bad. The plot doesn’t seem to be particularly distinctive (I’ve seen it before...), but this is also its reality (based on real people and real things). The reality is that there are wonderful and plain, colorful and messy~

The above is a relatively official personal evaluation, and the nonsense begins below.

At present, looking for bombs is still inseparable from war dogs and the like~

In the movie, Ricks is a war dog looking for bombs, and Levy is its trainer. In the various wars brought about by the United States, Ricks and the others will go to the front line (such as Iraq), during the operation of the troops, as the first team, looking for bombs along the way to ensure the safe passage of the troops.

They are not always at the forefront. If it is entering a house (a place with obstructed view), there will be a few people in front of the road to ensure that no enemies are there; if there are people, these people will subdue them first, and then Rex and the others will go in and find the bomb . If it's a place with a wide field of vision, it's Ricks who has started to sniff all the way. Maybe it has a coverage area when it sniffs, and the rest of the people are slowly moving forward within this range.

When the movie describes this section, the rhythm is still well grasped, which reminds me of "Wolf Warrior". When everyone watched this film, there was a lot of praise. On the one hand, the cruelty and tension of this kind of war and the patriotism ignited by everyone, on the other hand, it should also be that there are still few domestic war films that have truly entered the public's field of vision. In fact, the film "Rix" is also very good at this point, but the theme is a bit loose, so it is easy to get a decent conclusion after watching it at the end. But because it is based on real people and real events, it is indeed describing the story of a person and a dog. The goal is clear, and more is natural).

Pulling it far, pull it back and ask for a bomb?

It seems to be very advanced now, but the war dog is still inseparable. I don’t know if there are a lot of soil bombs that cannot be detected with equipment, or the film is a bit old (confirmed, it’s a long time ago, and now they are all using equipment, but they still retain military dogs as a backup plan. It is said that these Dogs are well-organized and are treated better than humans. Anyway, they eat thief, and they basically die naturally)? But are dogs really that smart? It depends on smell after all. If you are sure that the instrument can’t detect it, you just need to find a way to destroy the dog’s sense of smell (such as the smelly smell, which is also mentioned in the movie)... Well, it’s still very useful. It needs to be destroyed. They lose their sense of smell and do it naturally (such as a garbage dump), and they still live in it. First of all, they don't have a good time; if the smell is not natural enough, then there must be a bomb. This kind of, can it be directly detonated by throwing a bomb from a distance.................. (Confirmed, it is the simplest and most dumb method......)

It's not necessarily people who are worth everything, but dogs.

After Levy retired, he separated from Ricks and missed him all day. Maybe he also suffered from post-war xx syndrome. Her father said at the time:

In this life, there will always be so many people who are worthy of your contribution

It's not necessarily people who are worth paying; it's not necessarily people who can accompany. This is to get an experience coupon, which happens to be a race, and this world is not only human.

The film tells that Levy, in order to try to adopt Rex, through the media, politicians, the public, etc., and even finally after the successful adoption, a star-like person appeared in front of the public. The filming of the movie always makes people want to criticize: is it famous for relying on this dog? Have you started looking for privileges? Yun Yun Yun Yun

First of all, even if it is, it doesn't matter. In front of people, under the spotlight, it’s not bad to experience it occasionally, so what if there is a chance to experience it. Perhaps noble, saying that these reputations are all clouds, then don't care or even responsibilities for others to have a reputation; perhaps envy, let alone the slander of duplicity.

Second, the media is only a means. After all, without these efforts, Rex would have been euthanized. For Levy, it is the one worth paying for. Just like the one you and I want to give.

    Another double exposure poster, love the style. Leaving is not because there is a destination, but there is no nostalgia here. The heroine is not good-looking. The explosion works well. Purple Heart: A medal awarded to U.S. soldiers wounded or killed in action while on military duty. It's not a pet, it's a soldier.

    Storytelling is still not enough
