Cry while suffocating

Knowing that this movie is very popular, I didn't expect it to be so popular.
The film tells about when the US military was on a UN mission in Somalia in 1993, it sent 123 soldiers to capture high-ranking local military generals. Because of accidentally falling into a state of war that was out of control, more than a hundred American soldiers were taken by the armed forces of the entire city. The siege, originally scheduled for half an hour, turned into a 15-hour long battle.
This is a film that won an Oscar for best editing and best sound effects in 2002. Many of the pilots and extras who participated in the filming were team members or real commandos who participated in the operation in 1993. The helicopters in the film are all It is the model that participated in the war, and those satellite images are also the data of that war. All this makes the film exude a real breath at all times, reminding you that such a cruel incident has actually happened in reality, and is even happening and about to happen.
The pure black Eagle Helicopter is really beautiful, but the bullet shells that keep falling like raindrops on the plane are sad to see. U.S. Special Forces soldiers, heavily armed and well-armed, ran on the streets of Somalia, looking terrified and helpless. The shots of helicopters shooting at enemies on the roof at night are really nice, but in reality it comes at the cost of hundreds of lives.
There are so many familiar faces in the film. I didn’t expect Ivan to play a soldier from dude to firm; Bloom’s plays are so few, he plays the soldier who is gradually out of control caused by the crash; Josh Harnett is the number one. The protagonist, who has completed the task in a satisfactory manner, is still very difficult to like him; the Delta player played by Eric Barna is so handsome, no matter in terms of tactical quality and will quality, he is definitely a standard special player. When I poked my head out and replaced the machine gunner who was killed, I was about to cry. There was nothing more brave than this.
While watching the film, I kept thinking about who they are fighting for and bleeding for whom. If it was for the Somalis, why did it meet such resistance from the whole people? At the end of the film, two lines from Josh and Eric explain their understanding of the war from the perspective of American soldiers—all choices are made without choices, and they don’t think they are heroes. , They just fight for their brothers.
Watching this movie, I believe no one will yearn for war. However, there will certainly be people gloating that the United States’ “interference in the internal affairs of other countries” caused a large number of casualties. In fact, we don't know others, so don't expect others to act according to their own ideas. "Interference" and "non-interference" are not as simple as we think. In fact, everyone does not want to really understand the other party, and they just accuse the other party's "mistakes", so the war arises from this.

    The background music is great! ! . . The action and lineup are very strong, but this kind of war feels that the United States is hurting itself by its meddling. . Classic line: It's not that we want to be heroes, but that the times make heroes. PS: The gorgeous hugh is a medical officer (the one with blood on his face, who rescued others with josh), Orlando crashed right after he came out, and Ewan was an obscene tea soldier. Ashamed. .

    The war scene alone lasted 2 hours. If "Road to Glory" is a prophet, "Apocalypse Now" is a philosophical reflection, "Private Ryan" is sensational, "All Metal Shell" is a question of human nature, and "The Hurt Locker" is a documentary, then the film focuses on Realistic, cruel, violent, terrifying, and miserable in war. The scene scheduling and the use of the shots are all at a master level. 8.5

  • [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.
