There are a lot of war-themed movies in China. The scenes are grand, the themes are noble, and the image of the hero is incomparably tall, but behind the scenes are tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers who died one after another like ants in front of the battle to call the hero in the middle. great decision. In the "Black Hawk Project", the binary opposition symbols and meanings (extension and implicit meaning) presented throughout the film are more obvious including "America: Somalia, First World: Third World, Stability: Unrest, Prosperity : poor, advanced: backward, white: black, army (well-trained): warlord (lawless), justice: evil, humane: cruel, outnumbered: enemy, murder justifiably: murder guilty, aboveboard: insidious and cunning, Audience Sympathy: Audience Disgust" and so on. Undoubtedly, the result of the combination of these figurative and opposing symbols has constructed a positive international image and historical status that is beneficial to the United States/people, and at the same time endowed Somalia/people with a negative image and status. While watching the film, the audience can also clearly identify the good and the bad in the war at a glance, and establish their own cognition and views on this historical fact.

"In March 1994, following the complete withdrawal of the United States, one year later, the last batch of UN peacekeeping forces withdrew from Mogadishu, marking the end of a 27-month peacekeeping operation that cost more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. The United Nations handed over the fate of this country to its own people, which seemed to suit China’s appetite. However, the civil war lasted until 2004. In July 2011, half of Somalia’s population lacked food, and 75% of them were not safe to drink. Water, except for pirates, we rarely hear from them. "If you can't solve your own family affairs, is the intervention of outsiders justified? If it is based on internal and external agreement, it is fine; if it is unilaterally claiming "humanitarian relief", it is hard to say. In fact, it is not only between countries, but also between people: If others do not ask you to help, what is the meaning of helping you? Or it can be said that we are doing charity now, but they just blindly ask for money and food. What is the meaning of such charity? "Do you really think that if we catch General Aidid, we will lay down our weapons, accept American democracy, and stop killing?"

Steele: Sergeant, what's the meaning of this?
[Thinking he's talking about the unauthorized pig picking]
"Hoot": Just a little aerial target practice, sir. Didn't want to leave 'em behind.
Steele: I'm talking about your weapon, soldier. Now Delta or no-Delta, that's still a hot weapon. Your safety should be on at all times.
"Hoot": This is my safety, sir.
[He holds up his index finger and bends motions as if squeezing a trigger and then walks off]
Sanderson: Let it alone, sir. He hasn't eaten in a few days.
