eye of the sky

The film magnifies the ethical paradox in the war. Terrorists, as potential targets of killing, are choosing between the lives of innocent people, the interests of the politicians behind them, and the deception in their actions. Obviously, it has become another political game. But the film spends a lot of time describing whether the attack has to avoid the tug-of-war of children, and don't the lives of the surrounding civilians matter? This kind of child-first angle is nothing more than a low-level trick to win the audience's pity. Weakening the game and strengthening the rendering is an American fast food-style assembly line thinking caused by the sad shooting concept.

    Purely from the level of screenwriting skills, this film is very well done, without any problems, with a few simple groups of characters, a few scenes, and the storytelling is compact and vivid, which is heart-wrenching!

    It's really exciting. In just 102 minutes, the audience has been immersed in different perspectives to examine a daily event that may actually happen in those areas every day. Controversies of different interests, complex political struggles were successfully completed by Helen Mirren led by a group of actors. The atmosphere in the first half is rendered first-rate, and in the end, it really breathes with tension. Fanfen is also handsome and beautiful in uniform, RIP Rickman.
