Human rights are higher than sovereignty. This is one of the many consensuses reached by the European and American world after the ravages of the Nazis in Germany. There is a tradition of anti-Semitism in Europe. Who makes the Jews not their own, but pagans who are good at doing business?
When the Nazis openly abused their own Jews, no one cared. The German government violated the "Treaty of Versailles" in violation of the Treaty of Versailles and expanded its armaments. Just the two of you—England and France) were dumbfounded.
After the end of World War II, the United States naturally became the leader of the free world. After an unprofitable war was defeated, a lot of dollars were posted by allies. If it wasn't for the Japanese army's inexplicable attack on Pearl Harbor, even if Churchill could persuade Roosevelt, the United States, which had pursued isolationism for hundreds of years, would not be willing to take risks to defend the Olympia beacon of freedom.
If there is no material reward for taking the lead, it is difficult for American citizens to continue to approve of the government's slap in the face and make it fat. No, there is oil in the Middle East, there is oil in North Africa, and there are dictators.
From the perspective of long-term peace, the United States must make strategic deployments on the regional balance of power, and take action when it is time to do so; from the perspective of justice, Americans should respond to the call of the federal government and support American soldiers in rescuing the fallen residents of oil countries; In terms of happiness, it doesn't matter to the Americans how the residents of the occupied areas live, especially if they have to take their own lives for this, it is even more uneconomical.
This film is trying to discuss why the United States is fighting. The American soldiers are a little confused, and most viewers must have considered this question. In addition to being able to shoot popcorn masterpieces like "Transformers 1", Michael Bay deserves a little bit of Spielberg's respect through this speculative, rhythmic work.
