The most terrible thing about watching movies is to see: the adaptation of real events. This movie adapted from real historical events looks really scary because it is so real. In the movie, the protagonists fought by sea, land and air for the words of their superiors: Don't give up everyone, but suffered a fiasco because of intelligence mistakes and command mistakes. This action also made the protagonists pay a heavy price: their bodies were shot through, their fingers were blown off, and even they died. It can be said that this film hardly uses any profound editing techniques, and the cruelty of war is directly in front of the audience, cruel and direct.
The highlights are as follows:
Profound, whose war is the war? I believe many people have seen Saving Private Ryan by the great director Spielberg. This film can be said to be an authentic American film. Although it is full of all kinds of intestines that have been blown up, it is as real as the explosion and gun battle in off the charts, but the idea and even the ending of the film will make you feel warm, and there is a touch of warm humanity in the Cold War. Compared with this film, the conception of Black Hawk Down is not harmonious at all.
The subtitle at the beginning of the film is Plato's famous saying: Only the dead can see the end of the war. As an anti-war film, its background is the Somali war. Needless to say, the people have no place to live, and all forces have entered Somalia. The negative effects of war go far beyond these. The director also expressed his reflection on the war through the war scenes, the analysis of children and the discussion of religion. There are many scenes about children in the film, for example, a little boy killed his father by mistake, and the soldiers who witnessed this scene did not choose to kill the boy. For example, children who become suicide bombers, children who sing and dance in front of American soldiers, little girls who silently wave to soldiers, and children in a peaceful world are sad.
The director hopes to establish a positive image of American soldiers maintaining peace through this film. However, in the face of the war in Somalia, the local people have been displaced for their own interests. Everyone seems to be struggling in hell. Whose war has become?
2, the details are handled in place, and the colors and war scenes depict the truth. An excellent film, even the color details are worthy of attention. The use of gray and cool colors gives people a heavy sense of oppression, and the war scene is more realistic. Flying dust, rubble and even blown fingers can feel the despair of war through the screen, which is very shocking, taking into account both macro and individual, highlighting the fragility of every individual in the war.
The soundtrack is wonderful, and the soundtrack of this movie is more explosive. You may ignore the score when you watch it for the first time, but you will be shocked when you brush it again, especially Escape from Mogadishu, who composed music by Hans Zimmer. The melancholy and desolate melody, coupled with the cruel war scenes, even makes people feel numb. The film itself is very heavy, and the soundtrack is the icing on the cake, which deepens this heavy feeling.
Of course, the beauty of this film is only here. It won the favor of the Oscar that year. As an anti-war film, I saw the American soldiers killed by Africans, the helpless ordinary people caught in the civil strife in Somalia, and the painful price paid by both sides for the so-called justice, which is heavy for either side. War is a disaster for everyone, and I sincerely hope that the world will be peaceful forever.
