Horse racing guy, you are mighty and majestic

Riding horses and tanks, mortars, rockets, magic realism, black humor, surrealism, here is the cemetery of the empire, the Taliban lair, the al-Qaida base camp, Afghanistan. It is still American individual heroism. Before you look at it, you can guess that the protagonist will not die and that the United States will win, but you will never guess how and how they will win. The 12-person assault squad, before the station, Zhou Yu, like Zhuge Liang, borrowed an arrow from a straw boat. Zhou Yu said that for 6 weeks, Kong Ming pointed out the words: 21 days is enough! The ordinal number is turned on, 1.2.3.4.5.6.7...... Within 3 weeks, 12 people split and reunited, fighting on horseback, air support, ground-to-air docking, and facing death. Tested with each other like a little couple of the Afghan friendly forces, heart-to-heart, and finally like glue, you and I, work together and take it (forgot the name). After seeing it, I am very worried. If such a US military fights against us one day, how will our modernized force meet the enemy? Brighten the sword, my country!

Excerpt from the original film to commemorate

"This is Afghanistan, the cemetery of many empires! Your friend today may be your enemy tomorrow, and so are you. The United States will soon become a member of the ethnic group here (Afghanistan has more than 20 ethnic groups) If you escape, you will be considered cowards, but if you stay, you will be our enemies..." Maybe, this is what the new Danish director wants to express in this movie Meaning: When you are taking revenge, you may be defending justice at the same time; but you don’t have to defend justice by the way because you need revenge; however, be careful. Upholding justice has become another way of aggression and offense...

    The part about the cooperation between American soldiers and Afghan soldiers is well written, layered, and discussed, but overall it is really a procrastinating and unintelligible movie, and the scenes are so-so. This kind of main theme modern warfare film should not match. "American Sniper," or "The Hurt Locker", is so modest like this film that there is really no value.

    Riding a group of tanks on horseback, the wildness of the Middle Ages matches the magnificence of modern warfare.
