Rashomon, Made in US

I came across this movie because of Meg Ryan—want to see a different Meg Ryan... She has very few scenes, mostly flashed by, and even appeared in a different image—hehe , It can be regarded as reaching the original intention!
Is it similar to "Rashomon"? Inaccurate! Because it is the "Rashomon"-Hollywood version... On the whole, the narrative structure of the film is basically the same as that of the previous film; the theme and the discussion of human nature are not in the slightest or contradictory (if any Chinese director did the same, it would Will not be scolded to death?)-It's just more mundane, more modern, and looks more attractive, hehe...

    Humanity in war is cruel and real, you have nothing to say

    The rhythm is really slow, but "The General's Daughter" and "A Few Good People" look good

Courage Under Fire quotes

  • Tony Gartner, Washington Post: General, Colonel Sterling's order to activate lights, was that a standard response to enemy infiltration of the lines?

    General Hershberg: At the critical moment, in spite of terrible losses, Colonel Sterling didn't hesitate to act. Ordering those tanks to turn on their lights saved the lives of God knows how many of our men. Heroic acts arise out of desperate circumstances.

    Tony Gartner, Washington Post: I have no trouble at all believing Colonel Sterling is a hero.

    General Hershberg: Like Captain Karen Walden. Did you know, Mr Gartner, that for the first time a woman is being considered for the medal of honor for her performance under fire? And, um... Colonel Sterling is just finishing up the inquiry. How's that going, Nat?

    Nathaniel Serling: I think, uh... in order to honor a soldier like Karen Walden, we have to tell the truth, General, about what happened over there. The whole, hard... cold truth. And until we do that, uh, we dishonor her and every soldier who died, who gave their life for their country.

    [Colonel Sterling gets up out of his chair, walks over to General Hershberg and throws his report on the desk]

    Nathaniel Serling: My full report General.

  • Nathaniel Serling: How did you get to be on Captain Walden's chopper?

    Monfriez: Used to hang around medivac units, sir.

    Nathaniel Serling: Did you want to become a medic?

    Monfriez: Wanted to hump a nurse once, does that count?

    [both laugh]

    Monfriez: See, I play poker. Do you want to know a poker secret, sir?

    Nathaniel Serling: Always.

    Monfriez: Find out what the people you are playing against are interested in, and pretend you're interested in it, too. They start running off at the mouth and don't pay no attention to their cards. Medivac crew love to talk about their choppers.

    [hits his steering wheel]

    Monfriez: Paid for this baby.
