A losing battle for the world police

First of all, from the perspective of the movie, the whole film is basically played from beginning to end, missiles and blood plasma fly together, and the smoke of gunpowder is the same color. A typical American war movie, friends who like this type should not miss it.

From the background of the story, the United States once fought to maintain "democratic freedom". Forcibly instilling American-style democracy into the local people, the failure of the battle also proves that what the local people need is not American-style democracy.

Finally, I hope for world peace and the realization of communism as soon as possible. As the film opens with a quote from Plato: Only the dead can see the end of the war.

Interlude: Among the familiar faces, when he saw the Kingslayer, he would never have thought that this line is a bit strange now after so many years.

    Despite its focus on character development and cultural resonance, Black Hawk Down is an visceral, bewildering portrait of war, elevated by Ridley Scott's superb technical prowess. Helping audiences understand and empathize with the actual experience of combat troops, Evan Thomas considers the film one of the most culturally significant films of George W. Bush's presidency. Soldiers are heroes willing to die for their brothers despite depicting a shameful defeat... The film presents scenes of brutal killing, but at the same time shows courage, stoicism and honor, in line with the commitment to U.S. military policy The conflation of support seems to have heightened Americans' appetite for revenge on 9/11, turning it into something of a theme that endorses military interventionist policies. While American audiences might consider the film a patriotic hymn, it lacks authenticity about Somali culture and fails to capture the tone, demeanor, and spirit of actual Somali life, despite excellent editing and firework scenes that suggest Somali tribal warfare It's actually a people's war

    Now I can’t understand why my first impression of this film was so plain, maybe I was busy looking for acquaintances in it at that time? ! However, the look and feel was greatly changed later, and the level and rhythm of the war passages in the film were simply perfect. I went to the library and watched it again today. The big screen is really cool and the effect is amazing!
