In 1988, the Americans made an action blockbuster film, the main line is the heroic deeds of an American soldier who went deep into the tiger's den to rescue prisoners, and the background is the heroic past of assisting Afghanistan against Soviet aggression. The ending was a happy ending, and then the American soldiers resolutely returned home with sympathy for the warriors to show the determination of the "cooking lighthouse" not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and then a dramatic subtitle appeared - "I would like to pay tribute to the fearless jihadists with this film."
After the "911" incident, the US government officially declared war on the warriors who had "paid tribute", and for a while it was not embarrassing, so it was modified to "I would like to pay tribute to the heroic and fearless Afghan people with this film." In fact, whether to change or not is like this, everyone knows that the warriors in the film and the "KB Organization" that later shouted and killed were almost the same people. The following year, the protagonist who debuted as a muscular macho won the Annuity Plum Worst Actor Award, and together with the film achieved two capital ironies.
Speaking of which, I think many people have guessed the answer - the third part of the "First Blood" series: "Rambo 3".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="74" > capitalized satire</h1>
First of all, talk about the film itself, this eagle sauce version of the "main theme" movie Douban score of 7.6, belongs to the level of "live to see", generally speaking, if the actors are okay, it must be the script dragging its legs.
It is also true that the plot is simple enough to be summarized as two rescue processes, one to take the water road to kill the four sides after the fruitless return, and once to take the mountain road to successfully save people and completely annihilate the Soviet army in the stronghold.
The process, you can refer to the Marvel movie, the protagonist's combat effectiveness is infinitely close to the superhero, a bow and arrow against the aircraft tank, at the end of the film, two bloody infantry facing the aircraft tanks are complete hundreds of Soviet elites shouted out the tactical contempt of "encircling them is not OK", of course, this is just to reflect the hero's fearless spirit, if you can win the war, it will become an Indian film.
The director was relieved by the Afghan "jihad warriors" who arrived in time, and the roaring cavalry unit eliminated the Soviet army, and finally the protagonist drove a tank and hit the plane. This is obviously a blackening of the old opponent, if the torrent of iron armor that makes the whole of Europe tremble is so vulnerable, why is it still staring at Russia, which has seriously shrunk its strength, today?
Of course, the rambo of the first two parts is also plug-in, but it is not so confusing, from the perspective of our text brick moving practitioners, it is still a problem of "intention".
The theme of the first part of the "First Blood" series is the reflection on the war, when the veteran Rambo returned to his hometown from Vietnam, he was picky by the local sheriff, and even brought back to the police station to insult him wantonly, and Ranbo, who could not bear the beating, fled after attacking the police, and then faced the pursuit, rambo, who was deeply traumatized by the war, fled to the wilderness, used battlefield means to launch a counterattack, and staged a good drama of making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
Finally, when an old boss came forward to persuade him to lay down his arms, Rambo in the film said with a roar of confusion and unwillingness: If the Vietnam War was wrong, it was also a problem for the US government, why should the police station representing the power of the national dictatorship target a veteran who was born and died for the country, and even the slightest sympathy of the people could not be felt?
▲ Stills of "First Blood 1"
Such a deliberate, natural and profound, seemingly imaginative plot actually has a reasonable realistic environment, which is a rare film.
To add, the title of the film comes from the protagonist's line: "I shed the first drop of blood for this country (in Vietnam)," which is not wrong, so the second part of the plot to return to Vietnam to save comrades is called "First Blood 2", also called "Second Blood".
The Chinese translation of the third part continues the previous work, but in fact, the original English version is called Rambo3, which is very intriguing.
It is said that Rambo, who returned from Vietnam, did not return to China, but went to Thailand to work as a volunteer to gild the Buddha statue, which is the most common way of "spiritual redemption" in European and American films. We believe that Mr. Rambo has come out of the shadow of war, so when his old boss, Colonel Samuel Trautmann, invited him to go with him to Afghanistan to assist in the "jihad", on the grounds that it was a crime against humanity by the Soviets, he refused with the phrase "My war is long over".
This is reasonable, Rambo, who has been abandoned by the state many times, has no reason to wade through muddy waters, but he always trusts his old boss, so when the news of the colonel's capture by the bear comes, he embarks on a new journey alone, even if the government does not provide a bullet.
It seems to be grandiose, but in fact, it is not enough to constitute a reason for the bald eagle to take the initiative to "uphold justice".
On the one hand, looking back today, the sins made by Eagle Sauce and its allies in Afghanistan are fifty steps and one hundred steps compared to woolly bears, and they are only providing new weapons to the "mujahideen" and digging holes for the Soviet Union, which is essentially a low-priced proxy war.
▲ Tank battle aircraft
Later, the "mujahideens" in the film were divided into two, mostly the Taliban organization, which was later prestigious and still alive today, and the other part was the Northern Alliance, which was allied with Eagle Sauce after 2001, and the faltering Afghan government today.
On the other hand, there are also a large group of accomplices, such as sheep, dogs, Persian next door, and seemingly harmless rabbits, who have come together temporarily for the common goal of "slaughtering bears". But the one with the highest sentiment is the LD prince from the big dog family - the internationalist fighter who really scattered his family wealth and came to the front line.
▲ Not giving him a shot in the film is really unjust.
In short, the facts are there, no matter how the film is portrayed, it is futile, and when we revisit the film today, the eagle saucers see the incompetence and short-sightedness of the government, and we can feel the hypocrisy and conspiracy.
Therefore, the film rating will only drop again and again, and there is no suspense.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > the "Imperial Cemetery" section</h1>
Back in the real world, the reputation of the "Imperial Cemetery" can be described as a household name, with Rome, Alexander, Genghis Khan and the Persian Empire in ancient times falling into the sand, and in modern times, the three great powers of Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States cannot stop.
Seemingly worthy of the name, in fact, it confuses the relationship between cause and effect, and the empires do not decline because of invasion, but withdraw because of decline, which can refer to the relationship between the ancient Central Plains Dynasty and the Western Regions.
▲ Such a landscape, the consequence of wanting to eat Afghanistan is often to choke yourself
In fact, the areas of Afghanistan, which were not suitable for farming, did not have the strength to attack from all sides, and the control of the ancient empire was affected by many factors, and for the conquerors, it could only serve as a bridgehead for attack or a buffer zone for defense, and even the Tang Dynasty could not implement effective rule.
In other words, from ancient times to the present, Afghanistan is a "tasteless food, discarded pity" chicken ribs, as early as the 6th century BC Ahmed dynasty era, Cyrus the Great included the Afghan region into the territory and set up provinces, "Afghanistan" is the ancient Persian name for the locals, meaning "mountain people". It can also be seen that the cold, desolate and mountainous landform characteristics of Afghanistan can be said to have nothing but goats and poppies, and the input-output ratio is a mess, and it is naturally impossible to "feed the war with war".
This is the terrible point of the "cemetery"; the fierce folk customs combined with the terrain of thousands of ravines and lofty mountains and mountains will plunge any bully into a "vast ocean of people's war": advanced weapons cannot be brought into play, resistance is invincible, foreign aid is pervasive, and the anti-aggression sentiment of "the spark of a spark can burn the plains" can drag the opponent to death in the long run and force him to withdraw his troops on his own initiative.
▲ The Great Yin Empire once lost to the Afghans on a frontal battlefield
On the other hand, although it is known as the crossroads of Central Asia, it has never reflected the importance of "those who win Afghanistan will win the world", but because it has often become the focus of great power rivalry, the two sides of the competition have invariably produced a wonderful mentality of "I can not want it, but you can't take it". For example, the invasion of the sun is to establish a buffer zone between British India and Tsarist Russia, they are not as "axis" as the old Maozi, only two years to fight and then see the good, far from failure, and then the mao bear's rule over Afghanistan directly triggered the intervention of the United States, so that the former fell into an endless war of attrition.
Therefore, the bears are the first super empires to enter the graveyard in the true sense, and they have no choice but to retreat after ten years of struggle in the open guns and dark arrows, and then they fall apart after two years.
On January 7, 1980, a bear soldier directed traffic on the streets of Kabul, next to Soviet tanks
But from the perspective of the course of human history, there has never been a territory and people's hearts that cannot be conquered, it is nothing more than a difference in means and time, if the family foundation of the bear can be a little stronger, a little bit of Wende Wude, not to offend so many people, the ending may have to be rewritten.
As for the retreat of the bald eagle, it is another story.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > bald eagle chapter</h1>
The Americans were not interested in Afghanistan, because there was no oil there, but after the pit bear, the LD prince, who had once called him brother and brother, had an epiphany of the infidel identity of Eagle Sauce, and the two brazenly broke up and thus triggered a twenty-year feud, which will not be repeated here.
Objectively speaking, the blow by the bald eagle against the Taliban was originally a just war, not to mention the provocative act of planes crashing into the building, KB doctrine is also the public enemy of all mankind, coupled with the Taliban's non-stop death, one will clamor to restore the fundamentalist rule of the country, the establishment of a theocratic state, and the other will risk the world to blow up the Bamiyan Buddha, instantly making "no friends", almost eliminating the possibility of obtaining foreign aid.
Eagle Sauce's ground war is no less than the performance of the woolly bear, and the Afghan people who are eating with pot pulp have greatly satisfied the vanity of the "lighthouse of freedom". If you can really sincerely, at least use real money and silver to the way the bear helped the rabbit and the white elephant in the past, in exchange for a word of gratitude is unknown.
Unfortunately, real aid is absolutely impossible, and this is not in line with the nature of capital in pursuing profits, and only the long guns and short cannons produced by the military-industrial interest groups can greet whether they want it or not. Over time, the Afghans soon discovered the identity of Eagle Sauce's pagan and invader, who was also caught in the same embarrassing situation as a bear, and they fought for twenty years in the rugged mountains and rivers of Afghanistan, and the ending seemed to be difficult to describe.
They are really interested in oil in the Middle East rather than goats, and the reason why they will stay patient for twenty years is that on the one hand, they can't erase their faces, on the other hand, they are unwilling to let Iran (mainly Iran) pick peaches, in the end, it is the temptation of oil.
Therefore, the real idea of the bald eagle after occupying Afghanistan was to pull out the two Iranians, they first strangled the stupid Daimu regime before Ermao had saved the taste, and then tried to take Syria as a base.
Then Ermao suddenly stopped arguing with his neighbors, they wanted to protect the last bridgehead in the Middle East, so this proxy war was a decade, Eagle Sauce was blocked in Syria and could not move, and also spawned an IS to carry out indiscriminate attacks everywhere, and even Iran could take Syria by hitting them.
This is very embarrassing, so the fundamental reason for the bald eagle's retreat from Afghanistan is that the Middle East is chaotic enough, and it is impossible to level Syria in a short period of time, which in turn leads to the strategic goal of leveling Iran is not practical, and it is meaningless to continue to station troops, not to mention that the rabbit should not be able to hold back if it attacks on all sides...
▲ For the proud bald eagle, I wonder if this is another "war without victory"?
Therefore, the retreat of the bald eagle is not only a strategic retreat to judge the situation, but also leaves a pro-American and somewhat combative regime, and it is still too early to predict the future political trend.
In short, Afghanistan is certainly not a graveyard for bald eagles, but the Middle East is very likely.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="93" > Conclusion: Posterity mourns without learning, and also makes future generations mourn later generations</h1>
Recently, I heard a joke that the white elephant and Erha successively expressed their intention to send troops to replace the US troops in Afghanistan, as if one wanted to enter the "cemetery" to reverse his "empire" identity, and a clear blood was mixed but tried to reproduce the "empire" nature of the cheap ancestors.
Of course, you can just put it into a laugh, who can't come out and sell a cute one this year?
In fact, whether it is the three british, Soviet, and American powers that have returned without success or the white elephant Erha who is eager to try, the "conquerors" who have gone forward and succeeded them all hope to complete the conquest by force, and have completely forgotten the eternal truth that "although the country is big, it will die if it is belligerent."
Since ancient times, there have been many helpers, and there are few helpers, although the world has changed over time, the "tribute" in the movie for resisting aggression and defending the country is not excessive, and their heroism also proves the taboo of the cemetery, so it is not surprising that the unscrupulous outsiders have repeatedly hit the wall, and perhaps what we can harvest from it is only a sigh more than a thousand years ago:
The Qin people do not have time to mourn for themselves, and the posterity mourns; the posterity mourns and does not learn from it, and also makes the posterity mourn the future generations.
Why bother?
