What do you think of the movie Black Hawk Down?

Black Hawk Down: an absurd and great epic.

I haven't met a movie that can immerse me in emotion for a long time, and I never thought that "Black Hawk Chasing" would be such a movie.

The film is set in the background of 1993, an arrest operation codenamed "Irene" by the US military during the Mogadishu war in Somalia. The arrest became a nightmare because of the accidental crash of Blackburn, a recruit of the assault brigade. The American troops who failed to leave as planned were besieged by Somalis all over the city, and two Black Hawk fighters fell one after another. 100 soldiers launched rescue operations in the infernal Mogadishu. After 15 hours of fierce fighting, they arrived in the city.

"Only the dead saw the end of the war." This is the opening caption of the movie. Plato's sentence is really hard to understand. A few shots and subtitles explain why the United States sent troops to Somalia. This is a world full of hunger and killing, and warlord Aidid is the root of all these evils. Americans once again interfere in other countries' internal affairs, which must be condemned by the people of China. But from the standpoint of Americans, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch this genocidal civil war, and it is their obligation to promote American democracy. In fact, the US military did not actually get involved in the war, but just tried to catch Aidid and end the chaos.

In order to break Aidid's back road, the garrison general first arrested Atto, who provided Aidid with arms. The general's conversation with him directly reflected their differences:

Attor: "I do know some history. Seeing all this, it's just shaping tomorrow, a tomorrow without too many ideas of Aikensas white boys. This is a civil war, this is our war, not yours. "

Garrison: "300,000 people are dead and still going on. This is not a war, Mr. Atto, this is genocide. "

You can't question America's goodwill. I totally agree with their view that human rights are above sovereignty, but can the slaughtered party really understand it?

"In Somalia, killing is negotiation. Do you really think that if you catch General Aidid, we will simply lay down our weapons and adopt American democracy instead? Will the killing stop? We know that there can be no peace without victory. There's always killing, you know? This is the status quo of our world. "

This is another Somali saying, which shows that democracy is not imposed. For a country like Somalia, they can only improve themselves through analgesia, and the slaughter can only be left to it.

This is the sorrow of America. What we think can be changed is actually getting worse ... it's really sad.

Soldiers from Delta Force and Rangers Brigade of the United States, as practical tasks, set foot on the African continent with different purposes.

"Look, these people, they have no job, no food, no education and no future. I was just thinking, I mean, there are two things we can do. We can help, or we can stand by and watch this country self-destruct on CNN, right? ""I don't know about you, but I have been trained in combat. Have you been trained in combat, Sergeant? " "Well, I think I was trained to make a difference."

The person who wants to bring change to this land is Matt (Josh Hartnett), a sergeant of the Ranger Brigade. Although he is the team leader, he actually has no actual combat experience like other players. Before the war, it was funny to ask the recruit Blackburn (Orlando Bloom) about his combat status as an officer:

Blackburn: "Excited. On the bright side. I've been training for this all my life. "

Matt: "Have you ever shot anyone before?"

Blackburn: "No, sir"

Matt: "Me neither."

John, a typist in ewan mcgregor, has been in charge of the internal affairs of the team since the Gulf War. He has a feeling of "talent shortage" and he can take part in this action because a player injured his hand while playing table tennis. All in all, these well-trained young boys of the Ranger Brigade are full of passion and ready to do a big job. Although the ridicule of Somali marksmanship before the war can be regarded as a retrogression, it clearly shows that these children underestimate their enemies too much.

Delta Force veterans represented by Huth are obviously much calmer. Although they may not have expected the future situation to be so sinister, at least they have made quite a plan to prevent accidents, and their expectation is only to bring everyone back alive.

"The ranger leads the way!" "all the way!" "Fuck Irene!" The slogan of America is very shocking.

Then came the battle of Somalia, which lasted nearly 100 minutes (the length of the film). Accident, expect the unexpected. All plans were upset because of saving Blackburn, and Blackburn, a rookie, was really unlucky. He died before he got off work (suspended by a helicopter rope and unconscious), and the Black Hawk was shot down by a rocket launcher. "Super six was shot down! I repeat, we shot down a black hawk! " . . . Black Hawk Down, Black Hawk Down, the nightmare begins.

Similar to the rescue of Saving Private Ryan, several groups of people shuttled through the streets full of Somali thugs, and the Hummer convoy jammed all the way, and soon the first soldier was killed. The rescue operation is struggling. /kloc-more than 0/00 American soldiers faced more than 5,000 armed Somali thugs, and the casualties began to intensify. The second Black Hawk Down ... Matt and some rangers he led set up a defense line where the first Black Hawk crashed, while the second Black Hawk was besieged by Somalis. Sergeant Gary and Randy on the third Black Hawk volunteered to go to the rescue, and they were approved after repeated entreaties, so they staged a heroic scene in the wreckage of the second Black Hawk.

American troops were scattered all over the city, and two rangers were almost accidentally injured:

A: "Rangers?"

B: "Who?"

A: "It's Yurek! You fucking bastard! "

B: "Fuck! Dude, we almost killed you! Come to us! "

Answer: "Fuck you, come to me."

I still can't help laughing.

As night fell, a group of people gathered at the Matt defense line to wait for the rescue of United Nations armored vehicles. After the rare calm, it was another fierce midnight battle, and the tragic atmosphere rose again. With the support of the ground air force and armored forces, the situation finally stabilized and the nightmare finally ended.

100 minute bullet accumulation, when all the moving factors are completed, it indicates the end of freehand brushwork. After a night of fighting, people hope that dawn will come. The armored vehicles of the United nations peacekeeping forces transported the American troops out of the city of hell. A dozen rangers who failed to get on the bus trotted all the way, resisting the last sporadic attack. In the morning, swarming Somali civilians "bid farewell" to soldiers who were close to overdraft on both sides of the road. In the atmosphere where slow motion and noise gradually fade away and background music gradually increases, the contrast between quantity and expression is endless.

And at the end, in the soundtrack of Hanski Ink with killer nature, Delta Force veteran Huth and Ranger Brigade Sergeant Matt each presented a sincere speech, which made people moved:

Matt: "You're going back?"

Huth: "There are people outside."

Huth: "When I came home, people asked me,' Hey, Huth, why did you do this, man? Why? Are you some kind of war fan? ..... I won't say anything ... Why not? ..... they won't understand ... they won't understand why we did it. They won't understand that this is about the person next to you ..... that's all ... that's all. "

(Hoot is going back to the city to search for the rest of his companions with another team after eating at the base. )

"'Why do you want to fight other people's wars? Why do you all think you are heroes?' I didn't know what to say at that time, but if he asked me again, I would say no, I would say no way. Nobody asks to be a hero, but sometimes things will turn out like that. "

(Matt faces the coffin of his comrades who are about to be sent back to China)

As Matt finally said: "No one asks to be a hero, but sometimes things will turn out that way." "Black Hawk Down" is not a hero's hymn, but I believe that every audience who has seen the movie will be moved by this group of American soldiers: moved by the young Ranger Brigade, for their frankness and optimism, for them not to drop the chain at critical moments; Moved by Delta Force veterans, I have the courage to take responsibility for them and silently pay the true nature of a tough guy; I was moved by General Garrison because of the sentence "Your task is to bring them all back. Don't leave anyone behind! " Kneel on the floor of the hospital to wipe his blood.

The American army killed 19 soldiers, and one thousand people died in Somalia.

This is the price of the collision between civilization and barbarism.

Black Hawk Down, highly recommended.
