Desert Smoke

I watched "Black Hawk Down" again, and I felt as uncomfortable after watching it as it was the first time I watched it. Ledley Scott's technique is calm and shocking. What impressed me was a group of scenes at the end of the film: US military survivors passed through a crowd of Somali civilians and ran into the Pakistani base, surrounded by smoke. The director used slow motion, and the Americans were in shock, holding the trigger with their fingers, ready to fight back at any time; Somali civilians have long been accustomed to force, or indifferently or sarcastically looking at the embarrassed group of aliens covered in dust and blood. Two completely different expressions set off the living conditions of the two worlds. The music should be the singing of the native Africa. The bleak, remote, and the artistic conception of the desert is perfect, but at this time it is accompanied by a full range of war traumas, hitting the viewer's thinking heavily, making people unable to think, full of only war emanating. despair. It is also because of this that I have always watched war movies selectively, and some of them cannot bear this cruelty.

7/10. Deliberately choose the most spectacular panoramic view to give play to the sense of presence: the densely hungry people on the helicopter overlooking the ground flocked to the grain truck despite the mob beating, the residual temperature of the cartridge case formed smoke under the action of high light in the night battle scene, the war aesthetics emphasized the documentary is not very righteous Naturally, when the U.S. military prays that women will not pick up their guns and children throw their guns at the manslaughter relatives of the militia, occasionally expressing the enemy’s emotions is the only thing that is desirable apart from the scenes in the movie.

Never leave my compatriots... The coffee is gone, I poured you tea... The optimism in the tragic war, the respect for life is hard to not be moved. I'm used to watching the plot of domestic killings and need to be washed and spit out wolf milk. This is a good film to re-perceive war.

[after Hoot cuts in front of Blackburn in the line for food]
Blackburn: Hey man, there's a line.
"Hoot": I know.
Blackburn: And this isn't the back of it.
"Hoot": Yeah, I know.

Steele: Sergeant, what's the meaning of this?
[Thinking he's talking about the unauthorized pig picking]
"Hoot": Just a little aerial target practice, sir. Didn't want to leave 'em behind.
Steele: I'm talking about your weapon, soldier. Now Delta or no-Delta, that's still a hot weapon. Your safety should be on at all times.
"Hoot": This is my safety, sir.
[He holds up his index finger and bends motions as if squeezing a trigger and then walks off]
Sanderson: Let it alone, sir. He hasn't eaten in a few days.
