Even if the abyss stares at you, never give up the fight.

The film is based on a true story of the American war in Afghanistan - Operation Red Wings. A four-man squad sent by SEAL, one of the most elite special forces in the world, caused murder because of the good nature of choosing to believe and let go of the shepherd. Faced with the pursuit of nearly 100 heavily armed Taliban terrorists, none of the four chose to be captured, but to fight, fight and fight. Captain Murphy knew that he would become a living target and still stood at the highest point to send a distress signal; knowing that the strength of the enemy and us was disparate, they had to roll down from various cliffs again and again, even if they were covered in bruises, they had to find cover again and continue to kill the enemy. Movies based on true stories can always move us easily, because it has existed, and perhaps the truth is far more tragic than the movie. The fly in the ointment, the tragic war scenes are not as realistic as they are portrayed. Because I want to replay the whole incident too much, the character description of each soldier is not so detailed and touching. The ending song is accompanied by a real photo, but it is really moving. Of course, there is also the realism of the training of the SEALs in the title, so that we can understand what is called a human weapon. This was the largest rescue by the US military after the Vietnam War, and it was also the darkest day in the 40-year history of the US Navy SEALs. Three of the four members of the team were killed in action, and 16 of the US soldiers who went to the rescue died, including a crash. A "Chinook" and 16 Afghan civilians, including women and children, were mistakenly killed by the US military. For choosing to "believe", three SEALs were killed in action. It is precisely because of "belief" that Marcus was rescued. He can carry on the faith of the other three seals and continue to fight. It is this demon of our own creation that stands in the way of honesty between people - war. Finally, a Defense Department official's condolences to the father of the fallen SEAL Murphy "Don't think that the SEALs fell so easily, when 35 Taliban lay beside them." In order to maintain the honor of their ancestors and their beliefs, they continued keep fighting again. What are you doing when faced with the so-called difficulties in front of you?

    This story, born out of real events, was born a good script. Judging from the film, the execution results are also good. The fierce battle on the top of the mountain was cruel, straightforward, and powerful. The photo display before the end trumps all the words. In addition, those who have questions about the villagers saving the American soldiers in the film must wait until the photo is displayed before leaving, and there is an explanation there. The director puts the explanation here and also shows that those photos are an indispensable part of the movie

    The war films made by the Americans will always be top-notch in the world. Although the main theme of the film adapted from real events is full of meaning, it adds a touch of tragedy. The lonely survivor, worthy of the name, carried the hope of survival and continued the sustenance of his comrades. The mid-half-hour forest shootout was great, cruel and realistic; the last half-hour turned around, filled with emotion.
