"In war, bomb disposal teams that need joint operations play a very critical but rarely mentioned important role. I just want more people to know the nature of their work."

At a later press conference, Natalie became the main interviewer for the reporter. The film's politically correct position has been fully demonstrated, and she doesn't need to boast about it. She is very clever in focusing the topic on the so-called "heroes".

"Baghdad has been a terrible and dangerous territory for so many years, but the bomb disposal team is facing a worse situation. On any given day, bombs will explode in the city. As for the other 10 to 15 that have not been detonated, it is attributed to the successful defence of bomb disposal experts who are not large and secretly engaged in their work."

"In fact, these people live in a deadly threat every day, which also makes the story full of tension from beginning to end, with traditional styles and drama conflicts... In fact, starting from a metaphorical level, they symbolize heroism for the entire war."

As Natalie said, "The Bomb Demolition Force" has almost ubiquitous positive performance towards the US military in addition to "political correctness" and reflection on the war.

First of all, it is very pleasing to use bomb disposal soldiers in the US military as the target of expression. Bull disposal soldiers are not combat troops, and there will be no large number of scenes of firefighting with locals in other films. Their bomb disposal tasks are to protect the lives and property of local people and maintain local social stability.

Therefore, the US military does not appear in the film as an invader and an occupier, but in the appearance of a protector and a savior. Moreover, bomb disposal itself is the embodiment of the noble spirit of "sacrificing oneself for others" and the fearless heroism. As a result, the image of the US military in the film has been sublimated and it is easier to gain understanding and recognition.

The second is the portrayal of the male protagonist James. Although he will not give up until he dismantles the bomb, he looks a bit crazy, but on the other hand, it can also be regarded as a manifestation of human nature's "goodness".

From another perspective, he was unwilling to adopt other safe detonation methods, and would rather risk his life to dismantle the bomb, which can be interpreted as not wanting to see the bomb cause any harm to the local people. The purpose of disposing of bombs from the body of the Iraqi boy was to leave a whole body, which also showed the "compassion" sentiment of the American soldiers. The fact that he was risking to find the whereabouts of the missing boy showed that the US military was willing to "get peacefully" with the locals.

It can be said that during the promotion - all James' actions in the film, from the beginning of the bomb disposal to the final pursuit of terrorists, are saving others regardless of personal safety, and can be called the embodiment of heroism.

Such a "glorious image" is naturally what mainstream ideology in the United States is willing to see and is willing to set an example.

If such a film is spread to the world through the powerful Oscar platform, it will undoubtedly be a public relations act with significant effect to reshape the image of the US military and the US government. Similarly, after reflection and criticism of anti-terrorism films in the Iraq War in the past few years, the American people are slowly regaining their trust in the government and their support and recognition of the war.

The US military reappears in the film as a positive image and the return of heroism is also something that the people of the United States like to see.

After all, the Oscars are Hollywood's Oscars, and it can be imagined where its position will be biased.

In fact, the Iraq War and the War on Terrorism have had a significant impact on life across the United States. It is only a matter of time before the films on related themes won the Oscar, but the previous related films were qualified for various reasons. "The Bomb Demolition Force" now appears at the right time and in the right place, and expressing itself in a "extremely correct" attitude.

Then, George Clooney, as the producer, was also interviewed.

He first praised the film and Natalie.

"Each step of the production process of "Bomb Demolition Force", including directing, screenwriter, photography, music and editing, has been working towards the same goal from the beginning, that is, it is necessary to enhance the real touch of the film. It emphasizes the intensity of tension and at the same time, it cannot lose the layering of these complex characters."

"It's obvious that Director Natalie Portman is a talented film director who grasps the right amount of how to use physical and psychological dangers to influence a character's personality traits... So when I listened to her description of the concept of the movie and learned that she invited me to make the film, I almost jumped out of the chair with excitement."

As a political activist, George Clooney will not forget to show his politically correct position.

"Thanks to the American soldiers who risk their lives in Afghanistan and other parts of the world for their tribute to them and hope they will return safely."

War films have always been an important part of Hollywood films, especially films that reflect on World War II. As Ryan said, reflection on war and even questioning are entirely the privilege of the winners.

World War II was a glorious moment for the United States. In this war of good and evil, the United States became the embodiment of justice, and through this war, it became a superpower, stood at the peak of the world, and led the entire Western society. The United States naturally had a strong sense of superiority and pride in filming World War II films, full of heroism and passion, and always stood on the commanding heights of morality to guide the country.

Today, the Iraq War and the war against terrorism have also had a huge impact on the United States, and this impact has brought rifts between the government and the people. Although it is far from the severity of the Vietnam War, the negative manifestations of Hollywood film and television works on the war have already appeared.

"Body of Lies", "Extradition Cloud" questioned the United States' anti-terrorism policy, "Decisive Battle of Ira Valley", "House of the Braves" directly described the trauma caused by war to veterans and military families, "Excerpts Revised", "Refusing to Fight Again" even held high the banner of anti-war and directly criticized the federal government...

Although these videos did not become mainstream films that occupied Hollywood, they had a certain impact.

Now the federal government is trying hard to recover the adverse effects caused by the war on the people and restore the government's credibility. These "disharmonious" films are naturally not what mainstream ideology wants to see. "Bomb Disposal Force" takes a completely different route from these films. It seems to be "anti-war", but in fact it is "main theme", which caters to the urgent needs of mainstream society.

Similarly, if you don’t want to be marginalized by mainstream society, political correctness is the most basic position. Faced with such a preview film, even professional critics who don’t deal with Ryan and Disney will still sing praises.

"A great movie, and a clever movie, Natalie Portman gave it very clearly, letting us know who is who, where they are, what they are doing and why they are doing that."

Faced with videos of this nature, there is no need for Disney PR at all. Roger Albert plays ten!

"When the audience finally got off the excited passenger seat of the Bomb Defence Force, they must be trembling, as if they were electrocuted, and they were likely eager to watch it again."

"Nervous, brave, and scared, this will be what people know from the US military in Iraq and twenty years later. This movie is a classic work by Natalie Portman. If any viewer thinks that the ruthless violence nowadays is a fantasy, this movie is powerful evidence."

"Natalie Portman produced a first-class war film, a vivid and crisis-filled city war in Iraq, and most importantly, it's a real-time classic film that demonstrates a cruel, hot and dusty lab war environment."

The mainstream and now marginalized film critics have shown ten of their films. Although these people cannot influence mainstream commercial films in Hollywood, they still have some say and influence on the Oscars.

Compared with these film critics, Disney's media launched a brainwash-like propaganda war to the whole society.

The movie recommendation column of ABC TV hosted by former famous film critic Todd McCarthy deeply analyzed Natalie's directorial skills and gave high praise.

"The Bomb Demolition Force has record value, but the aesthetic means of the whole movie are not based on the record of the camera, nor are they in order to capture the existence of objects in a 'complete manner'. It is based on a certain psychologicalism, based on how people on the battlefield feel about war."

"With a huge number of ultra-short shots to form a movie, there must be a certain editing logic between the shots. In some cases, the shots imitate the eyes of the bomb disposal team members. When James disposes the bombs, other team members must pay close attention to the changes in the surrounding environment, and their eyes must change at all times and quickly shift. Behind such shots is the psychological state of the characters on the battlefield."

"Director Portman expanded this shot to the entire movie, not only during the bomb disposal process, but also when the team members were resting in the barracks, and even when James played football with Iraqi kids selling DVDs, they also used this kind of high-changing short shot."

"The psychological effect of such an application is amazing, and the tension on the battlefield has retreated to the next level. Director Natalie Portman uses such shots and editing to imply the abnormal state of the characters' psychological state. They cannot focus on things in a normal way. Their attention is forced to be diverted and dispersed. Everything is fragmentary and discontinuous. They cannot have a sense of the existence around them..."

Finally, Todd McCarthy said in a summary, "A good movie requires that the form and content be fully integrated to serve the theme perfectly. I think director Portman achieved this almost perfectly in "The Bomb Demolition Force". (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
