Plot introduction:

On the Pacific battlefield of World War II, the Japanese always used various methods to decipher the secret code of the US military, which made the US military suffer a lot on the battlefield. In order to change this situation, 1942, hundreds of Navajo were drafted into the army. Because foreigners don't understand their language, the U.S. military trains them as specialized translators, and they are called "whisperers". As the secret weapon of the US Navy, every speaker shoulders the top secret of the US military. Therefore, they also receive special "care"-every Navajo translator is personally protected by a naval soldier to ensure their personal safety. On the other hand, if the translator is about to be captured by the Japanese army, the protector must kill him to ensure that the password will not be revealed.

Marine Joe Anders (Nicolas Cage) is a bodyguard of translation. He was ordered to protect a man named Carl Yates (adam beach; According to another source, the character's name is Ben Yates, and I can't judge the correct Navajo soldier. In the cruel battle of Saipan, the fate of being captured is just around the corner. Joe, who is in charge of his own life and death, is caught in a dilemma between morality and military life: can he kill Ben who is close to him in an emergency in order to perform his military duties and protect the military secrets of the US military? ...

Behind-the-scenes production: The film is like a policy map. It allows a group of white soldiers to play musical instruments together with Comrade Navajo to carry out "positive education" of national unity. The conflict between Cage and Beech should be the drama focus of the film, which happens to be Lao Wu's strength. But he seems to be worried that people will get tired of repeating the same old story, so he wraps the core of the drama contradiction with a lot of war scenes. It seems that there is no smoke, which is not enough to become a summer war blockbuster. The film has a stiff and unforgettable feeling, and there is no artistic exaggeration, free and easy, aestheticism and "cadenza" that is close to singing and dancing in Wu Yusen's gang gunfight. This is a comforting and sad movie: fortunately, John Woo did not make the same mistake (let's ignore the details that the American soldier and the Japanese soldier pointed guns at each other's heads); Sadly, he repeated the old routine that others have repeated countless times.

Plot introduction:

After many battles, Hugh Fran, a marine general who won many medals, led his men to rob 16 new VX gas bomb. Then they took control of Akara Island. This used to be a prison, but now it has become a tourist attraction. All the tourists on the island have become hostages. General Fran used gas bombs and hostages to demand 1 100 million dollars from the state, and compensated the fallen marines who were treated unfairly.

Ferguson, director of the FBI, held a meeting with the Ministry of National Defense and decided to send commandos to the island. However, the defense and surveillance of Akara prison are very strict, and it is called Alcatraz. No one has ever successfully escaped from prison, so the commandos can't get into Akara prison at all. In the national top secret archives, there is an old British agent Mei Sen who successfully escaped from Akara, and only he can complete this task. In order to persuade Mei Sen to sneak into Akara Island, Ferguson made a false promise to him, telling him that he would be pardoned and be free again. Mei Sen and chemical expert Stanley, together with the commandos who carried out the raid, successfully entered Akala prison through the underground tunnel. But unexpectedly, the placed sensors found that the commandos were found and surrounded. In the melee, all the commandos were killed, only Mei Sen and Stanley survived. Stanley told Mei Sen the truth and asked him to help dismantle the poison gas missile. Mei Sen finally agreed.

After dismantling the 12 missiles, Flange's men captured them. In prison, Mei Sen told Stanley that he was arrested because he owned a top secret film of the American government, which had not expired. After his arrest, he became a man that neither Britain nor the United States recognized. Mei Sen easily opened the prison door, and the two escaped from the prison and dismantled the remaining missiles. Fran's men found out that the government was cheating them. However, because General Fran, who was seriously injured, did not really agree to use gas bombs to kill innocent people, there was a scuffle inside. Frank told Stanley where the last missile was, and then he died. After intense struggle, the two men finally dismantled the gas bomb and successfully completed the task. But the insidious Ferguson sent bombers to blow up Akara Island.

Mei Sen and Stanley jumped into the sea in time and survived. Stanley just took this opportunity to report to Ferguson that Mei Sen was dead, but let him go. Mei Sen told Stanley the hiding place of the film before he left.

Behind-the-scenes production: [about the director]

Andrew niccol is also a screenwriter, director and producer of this film. He was born in New Zealand and is 42 years old. Before becoming a film director, she worked as a commercial TV in London for more than 65,438+00 years. After arriving in Los Angeles, American filmmaker Scott Rudin took a fancy to andrew niccol's play The Truman Show, but he refused to let a new person direct the film. It wasn't until Jim Carrey and Peter Will officially joined, and the shooting budget rose to $60 million, that The Truman Show finally started shooting. At the same time, Andrew also began to try his directorial debut "Variant", which is also a thriller sci-fi film created by him, and it was a great success, and won the Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination. The Truman Show, which was released later, received rave reviews and was nominated for three Oscars, including best screenplay. Finally, Andrew won the Best Original Screenplay Award from BAFTA. His subsequent works include Simon, starring Al Pacino, and The Pier, with Steven Allan Spielberg as executive producer.

[shooting background]

At the end of the 20th century, the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union ended, but another nightmare soon emerged. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, a large number of weapons and ammunition flowed into the international market. It is estimated that during the period from 1982 to 1992 in Ukraine, more than 32 billion US dollars of arms flowed into the black market and were sold to war-torn third world countries by brokers and arms dealers. In the arms trade involving huge interests, warlords, spy agents, international criminal groups, and even the US government itself are all involved, and a complex and thrilling interest network is built. However, there has never been a film so close to and revealing the truth and inside story of the arms trade as Lord of War, and it does not shy away from the important role played by the United States. As a result, it was very difficult for the film to find American investors because of sensitive topics, so that it took as long as 1.5 years to get the funds in place. In the end, almost none of the investors of this independent film with a budget of 42 million dollars came from the United States, and all the funds came from abroad.

On August 2nd, 2004, the cast of Lord of War was officially launched in new york, and in the first few days, many scenes of Manhattan and Brighton Beach in Coney Island were filmed. However, it took the crew only nine days to shoot the exterior of the United States, and then they rushed to Cape Town, South Africa, and started the high-load work of 10 week. Because the local security was a headache, many worries followed, but director Andrew decided to create a street view of Monrovia, the capital of Libya. Therefore, the scene in the movie may be confused with the real scene. In fact, the changeable regional characteristics of South Africa are very conducive to the concentrated shooting of the crew. With a little modification, the scenery of many African, Asian and North American countries can be reproduced here, even including Ukraine and the Caribbean. 165438+ 10, the crew moved to the Czech Republic, where some eastern European backgrounds were filmed, and a local former Soviet military base was also fully utilized.

Trivia: The first meeting between Nicolas Cage and film director andrew niccol was in the latter's office. Andrew's 65,438+00-meter-long desk is full of pictures and newspapers related to this film. At the end of the desk is a real AK-47. After giving a general explanation of the film, Andrew asked, "How's it going? Would you like to join? " Cage said, "Good."

The scenes in the film span 13 countries.

During the filming process, the crew did cooperate with real arms dealers and obtained the weapons needed for filming from them. Even the tank in the movie belongs to a Czech arms dealer. After the filming, he had to ship them to another country for sale. At the same time, about 3000 AK-47 submachine guns were used in the film. These are real weapons, not props, because these real guns are cheaper than props. In this regard, the director believes that the work efficiency of these arms dealers is much higher than that of production companies.

Before shooting the scene where a large number of tanks were put together for sale, the crew informed NATO in advance to prevent NATO from mistakenly thinking that there was a real war because of satellite images.

Andre in the film is based on Charles Taylor, a former Libyan leader and great warlord.

The An-12 military transport plane numbered 9Q-CIH in the film belongs to a Russian citizen. On June 8, 2005, the plane crashed in Uganda, killing all six members on board.
