This is business

What is selling weapons? It's a business. From the beginning Yuri calmly said that he was considering how to sell weapons to 11 other people who did not have weapons. In the end, it was not a common evil and retribution. Yuri continued to sell his weapons. Although we hope to stop all killings, peace is not the tone of this movie.

If it's a business, do business as business. Demand analysis, bribery opens up all joints, takes advantage of existing legal loopholes, faces competitors, and at the same time abides by principles not to kill competitors or participate in wars of any party, and not to take "work" home. Yuri said, I am good at this, yes, he sees this as the same as opening a restaurant to make money, adventurous and exciting.

Until his wife said a sentence: I don't care if it's legal. It's wrong. (I like this sentence very much) Yuri started to do legitimate business, but he did not repent. Even if the younger brother was shot to death indiscriminately, the transaction is still going on, and business is even higher than life. This is the principle of business.

Finally Yuri said to the camera: Never join the war, especially don't join the war yourself. Does this remind people of the development history of the United States?

There are many places in the film that are uncomfortable to watch, especially the part of Africa. Hunger, AIDS, Scouts, dictators, these elements are naturally integrated into the film at the right time, and it also allows us to think about the environment in which Africa is located in today's world.

It is the first time I have seen a lot of gangs' rush, reflecting the subject matter of arms dealers.
