opening picture

picture at the end

They are the two upward shots at the beginning and the end, forming a head-to-tail response. This middle-aged man in a suit is standing in a village full of artillery fire. The ground is covered with finished bullet casings. It seems uncoordinated, but it highlights the arms Shang's image is tall and above the battlefield

At the beginning, the arms dealers were named at the expense of their lives in order to make money

At the end, it clarifies who is the real arms dealer

These two overhead shots are very close to the camera and the audience, and at this time, telling the deep core content behind them will affect the audience more deeply. The whole film seems to be a story he told, but the ending of the story makes people feel the cruelty of reality and reality.

Is it a cross, or a fork in the road?

At the junction of binary opposition, you have to make your own choices

These two long-distance overhead camera angles are very unique and have a strong relationship with the plot. The picture above is of his life's fork in the road, and finally chose to smuggle arms instead of running his family's restaurant.

The following is the time of the transaction, the lower left is the armed forces, and the upper right is the civilian who will be killed by the militants, and he and his younger brother are in the middle, in the middle, the younger brother objected to selling arms to them because of his kindness, while the older brother said that it had nothing to do with arms , which also foreshadows the divergence after this

previous business

business again

Gradually become bigger, from guns to large-scale ordnance, although he has not killed anyone, but the money is stained with human blood

Getting shot in first business

think

At this time, I was watching the first business, and the upside-down lens explained the confusion in my heart, and I was thinking about my future in the face of bullets. After that, the plot was obviously simplified. In reality, it will not be so easy to become bigger and stronger.

the most beautiful picture

The poor people scramble for arms, dismantle planes to sell for money, and arms dealers buy and sell arms for profit, the interests of the strong are to deprive the interests of the weak, this is the reality, but it is based on the interests of human life, in the end, arms Shang naturally and safely walked on the battlefield filled with gunpowder in suits and leather shoes

The Master said: The country is a country of a thousand vehicles, respecting and believing in things, saving money and loving others. In the past, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties were all based on the great harmony of the world, the people, the society and the grain were the most important, and the benevolence, righteousness and morality were the beauty. May the revival of Chinese culture, the capital interests of the mainstream of Westerners, and the prosperity and clarification of the world!

    I don't know how many times I have watched it. Suddenly wanted to see a Cage, so I chose this one. Justice can never defeat evil, because the greatest evil is called justice, and more importantly, the evil never goes to war with itself.

    I have always liked movies based on real events, and they were about the arms trade, which is usually difficult to access, so I liked this movie very much. Although some of the plot connections are not very smooth, I prefer to see it as a documentary with a plot. Also, that second pistol joke is really strong~~

Lord of War quotes

  • Yuri Orlov: [to Jack, sitting on a small wooden crate] Can I go now? You got nothing on me. Except cuffs.

  • Jack Valentine: Since you're so concerned with the law, you must know that I am legally permitted to hold you for 24 hours without charging you. You might ask why I would do that, and I can assure you it's not because I enjoy your company, because I don't. No. The reason why I will delay you for every second of the permissible 24 hours is I'm delaying your deadly trade and the deaths of your victims. I don't think of it as taking a day away from you, but giving a day to them. Some innocent man, woman or child is going to have an extra day on this Earth because you're not free. So I will see you in... 23 hours and 55 minutes.
