A movie of a deified sniper

Snipers are cool in people's minds, especially those who are interested in war and military affairs. They hide themselves like lonely heroes on the top of a cliff or among the ruins, lying on their faces quietly, like poisonous snakes waiting for their prey to appear. Once they find a target, they aim calmly and calmly, pull the trigger, and never miss a target. This impression is likely to come from a certain movie, and more movies that show snipers further strengthen this imagination.

I've seen another movie with a sniper as the protagonist, "Army at the Gate", which has also been translated into "The Enemy Now" or "The Contest in the Decisive Battle". It should be called Enemy at the Gate. In this film, the sniper is an individual, there is love, hatred, vacillation and hesitation, making people feel that he is real.

The protagonist in this "Life and Death Sniper" has only precise marksmanship, skillful tactics and iron will, but no emotion. Oh, it can’t be said that there is no at all, such as his apologies for sacrificing his comrades, his appreciation for loyal pets, and his obscure favor with his girlfriends, but these are too superficial and too stylized. The director has no patience or interest in showing these warm things in detail, but can't wait to point the camera at the fire-breathing muzzle and cold eyes. Although he went to save the hostage who was held hostage (in fact, there is no heroine in the film, she is just the supporting actress with the most drama), but he felt that he did not cherish her to do so, but for revenge and justice. At the end of the film, things that could not be solved by law were solved cleanly by the master using a gun, and then took the beauty and left.

I can only say that this is a myth, with good wishes, and it looks very exciting, but it says nothing.

    I kept saying when I watched... the actor looks like Mark Walkerberg... but he seems a little more handsome than him... 囧

    I love sniping this kind of gun and this kind of person

Shooter quotes

  • Bob Lee Swagger: The Archbishop?

    Michael Sandor: You want to take all suspicions away when you shoot someone, wait 'til he's standing next to the President.

    Bob Lee Swagger: What was he going to say?

    Michael Sandor: The truth. That nothing, no matter how horrible, ever really happens without the approval of the government. Over there, and here. The problem isn't the doing. It's the people in power having to admit that they knew. The prisoners are tortured at Abu Ghraib, and only the underlings go to jail. Their bosses knew. We know their bosses knew. But you don't say it.

    Bob Lee Swagger: What exactly happened in Africa?

    Michael Sandor: Somehow the villagers didn't think that an oil pipeline was a good enough reason to move their village to a place where the spirit gods didn't exist.

    Bob Lee Swagger: They asked them all nicely to move, and they didn't, so they just killed them all?

    Michael Sandor: No, they didn't ask. They just killed them. All. So the next village won't need to be asked, they'll just go.

  • [after Swaggert has proven his innocence, yet Col Johnson has escaped charges for his crimes]

    Attorney General Russert: For the record, I don't like the way this turned out any more than you do, but this is the world we live in and justice does not always prevail. It's not the Wild West where you can clean up the streets with a gun... even though sometimes that's exactly what's needed. Bob Lee Swaggert, you're free to go.

    [to guards]

    Attorney General Russert: Unshackle the sergeant.
