Can be called a classic

"The Road of the Hyena" is worthy of being one of the most classic films describing the war in Afghanistan. The scenes of sniper operations and team assaults are reproduced extremely real, coupled with the appropriate use of the camera, shaking, switching, and the sense of substitution of the pseudo-documentary style is really super strong. This alone has already killed most war films. However, the film is not limited to subtle battles. It describes the impact of road construction on the political and military as the main line. At the same time, it inserts the protagonist’s love story and the old desert lion. The plot is fuller, the characters are more three-dimensional, and the conflicts in the drama are intertwined and more intense. In the end, the scene of "fire at me" could not help being reminiscent of Wang Cheng in "Heroes", and the sense of tragic and majesty was instantly full. The line at the end likes it very much: The clock is yours, but the time is mine.

    Why did so many countries invade Afghanistan

    Samsung, the viewing angle is unique, and the pseudo-documentary photography makes the atmosphere even more eerie. The virtual and the venomous snake, each has a ghost, and the human is not as good as the heaven. The road of the hyena is destined to be a road of no return.

Hyena Road quotes

  • Travis: Name me one thing I've ever been wrong about!

    Ryan: ...thinks for a moment... My sister?

    Travis: ...pause... Yeah, that was bad...

  • Pete: Alexander the Great marched into this graveyard about 2,500 years ago. Easy to march in, hard to march out. His words. He and his mother wrote to each other all the time. One day, he got a letter from her saying: "What the hell? You conquered most of the known world in a day and a half, what are you doing bogged down in Afghanistan?" He grabbed a bag and shoveled it full of dirt and had it sent back to Greece with a message to his mother: "Take this dirt and dump it around the palace, see what happens."

    Pete: So Alexander's mother spread the dirt all around the palace. Later that night, a couple of attendants showed up to make sure she was alright. One says: "Go ahead, after you." And the other says: "No, after you." And the first one says: "No, I insist." And the second one says: "Don't you tell me what to do." They pull their swords and go at it till they kill each other. Alexander's mother watched all this and wrote a note to him saying: "Okay, okay, now I get it." And he wrote back saying: "Even the dirt is hostile." In Afghanistan, dogs fight dogs, birds fight birds, men kill men.
