 | BLACK HAWK DOWN ——We got BLACK HAWK down! We got BLACK HAWK down! Take this film as war documentary. After "Black Hawk Down" shown, movie fans has been talked about all the types of weapons of the movie, especially the RPG(Rocket Propelled Grenade) firstly appeared in it. This time, it was ashamed of the U.S. military operations in Somalia, but from what the movie want to tell, no matter which side you stand for, there is no one could define this operation. As the old saying, once when the war starts, no body could control it. That was strange war, in which the minority controlled the majority. And the former lost its halo slowly, then just watched itself degenerate. In this war, conpared with the U.S. forces and the Somali militia in Mogadishu, you can find it just like a Greek mythology, the capacity gap between them is similar as God and people. God does not exist in the world already, there are always some one want to play the role of God. This time, the UN troops in Somalia just mediated civil war for the reason of the massacre of millions of people. The mediation was imperative and correct. The U.S. military forces' original intention was good——arrest the biggest warlord Aideed. This was a good thing for the interests of the Somali people, after all, Somalia should be no longer full of so bloody intense disputes. But ironically, when the Black Hawk flew over in Mogadishu, people felt the black shadow would bring frea and curse, instead of peace and joy.  |

| The origin is that U.S. forces entered Mogadishu to arrest Aideed. The operation was carried out by Delta and Rangers. Delta broke into the house and caught the hostages, at the same time, Rangers covered around. However, before sending the troops, decision-makers had made a mistake——not gathering enough intelligence and underestimate the development of war situation. Not gathering enough intelligence is pardonable, after all, Mogadishu was a city in chaos, the upper could get completely reliable line people to collect intelligence. In the beginning, time to conplete the task was 40 minutes, but when the Rangers came down from the Black Hawk, one member fell down from 20m height because he didn't pull the rope. Then, as well as the team, the correspondent cut off the earphone line mill when gliding, lead to the failure associated with command. So the whole project was disturbed. Delta lost the connection with Rangers. The militia rushed from all sides of the line. The surprise raid became into a steet battle, somewhat ironically, in the movie, the U.S. troops to be bogged down in street battle. It forced the decision-maker and Rangers with casualties take responsibilities. |

| "Black Hawk Down" can be called the polymerization of stars, who played in the Delta Sfc.Norm 'Hoot' Hooten is Eric Bana ,the starring of "Munich". That Rangers substitute was played by Ewan McGregor, and the boy down from the helicopter,is player by sparkish elf prince——Orlando Bloom. But no matter what American soldiers do, they all abide by the phrase: "LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND!"——That's the biggest bright spot of the movie, and could be treated as an excuse for those soldiers. The movie makes the viewers can not grasp the war, tell who is right and who is wrong. Indeed, the war itself is very big mistake, but the question of position. "Black Hawk Down" is a good war film for it weakens the the confrontation between the two sides. Audience could not distinguish good guy and bad guy, they have to think over it with their own feeling. So that the movie is very close to a documentary. Aerial shots of the film occupied almost one-fifth of the past holds the aerial show elements of the film. Aerial shots in the "Black Hawk Down" -- overlooking the city of Mogadishu just like watching everything cynically though the eyes of God. And ultimately the God, who have symbolic significance, corrupted.  |
