Perhaps neither side of the war has won the final victory. The so-called victory is nothing but space and corners to lick the wounds quietly.
As far as the film itself is concerned, the director made extensive use of backstage voice-overs to explain and advance the story. It makes a lot of information stuffed into the film that is not long. Although the process jumps, it does not lose the coherence of the story, but makes the rhythm of a biopic more compact. And Cage's performance is not exaggerated or arrogant, just a calm person who turns lies into a part of his life until he loses everything.
The death of his younger brother hit him hard, but he still couldn't let go of the weapons deal. Even if he lost his wife and children, even if he lost the care of his parents, he was still willing to be the king of war who was wandering between wars. Maybe for these people, money really doesn't matter much, it's the sense of accomplishment that is in control.
At the end of the film, the dialogue between Cage and Hawke undoubtedly shows that the so-called arms blockade is just a joke. Undoubtedly, these arms dealers are like the movie said, they are gray, and the lawmakers have already stood on their side.
The final subtitles reveal even more nakedly that the world's largest arms dealer is a permanent member of the Security Council. To expect a group of war kings to talk about world peace is undoubtedly the biggest joke.
The favorite part of the film is Cage sitting there stroking the AK-47 and cooperating with Swan Lake, explaining the AK-47. This piece is the genius of the film. On one side is the noble and elegant Russian music gem Swan Lake, and on the other side is the AK-47, which symbolizes killing and blood. The two things that seem to be extremely discordant, but under the arrangement of the director and the explanation of Cage, reveal a unique attraction. Maybe the director wants to tell the audience that art has the same influence as war. Later, the AK-47 is compared with the representative symbols of Russia such as caviar, vodka and Pushkin, and even expresses that firearms are far more attractive to the world than they are.
