13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi 13 Hours of Crisis-A true reproduction of whether two and a half hours are long enough

"13 Hours of Crisis" did not deliberately create heroes, did not deliberately set off the atmosphere, did not even have a special climax, and did not have a perfect ending. It just silently showed a United States-based incident that took place in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. The demonstration violent conflict itself, the whole incident took about 13 hours, and the real unknown heroes are just the six spare secret fighters.

The just-started contrast is still very necessary. It truly shows the social background of the incident and lays some foreshadowings, so that the subsequent warmth eruption will not be too abrupt. The setting of the enemy is a bit vague. There are good people and bad people, and the boundary between good people and bad people is so blurred. The reflection on the war has left people with endless reflections. There is no strict indication of who is right and who is wrong, but the evils of war are clear at a glance-no one is the real winner!

Regarding whether two and a half hours are too long, it doesn't really matter in itself-maybe the director is cruel and cuts it down to two hours, or one and a half hours, which can also be true, but it will sacrifice some side performance. In any case, the rhythm of the entire film is still very tight.

The most favorite thing is the documentary-style reality presentation, without too much pre-determined moral judgment. In this regard, this film is commendable!

    A very straightforward, complete and pure war film. The rhythm, photography, editing, acting, and music are all in place. The scenes of constant conflicts, including wars, were filmed very compactly. There are hardly any political comments or positions. Tell a good story. "Gunfight is fun"!

    Adapting from a true event The consequences of Hillary's dereliction of duty are no wonder Donald Trump's free invoice in Iowa makes people watch the ending without a happy ending. It's more shocking and helpless, although it's still full of selling copies. His style has never changed. It's his best in recent years. work
