In this week, I watched a film named Lone Survivor. This film Set during the war in Afghanistan, Lone Survivor dramatizes the unsuccessful United States Navy SEALs counter-insurgent mission Operation Red Wings, during which a four-man SEAL reconnaissance and surveillance team was tasked to track down and kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah.

First of all, I want to compare the interpersonal relationships amongst the team members in this movie compared to the Rangers in Saving Private Ryan. At first, team members in Lone Survivor and Saving Private Ryan all obey leader’s order and have no regrets. In Lone Survivor, when they were discovered by an elderly shepherd and two teenage goat herder, they wanted to kill them at first. However, they all chose that follow the order. In Saving Private Ryan, although the team members did not want to find Ryan very much, they all follow leader’s order. Secondly, two teams both could not accept new member, but they finally accept new member. Moreover, they all can sacrifice their own life for another members.

Now I will have a brief introduction of this film. In Afghanistan, Taliban leader Ahmad Shah killed over twenty United States Marine. Therefore, United States Navy SEALs sent a four-man SEAL to kill Ahmad Shah. At first, everything is all good; however, they encounter communications problems, when they inserted into Hindu Kush. Then, the SEALs are discovered by an elderly shepherd and two teenage goat herder. At first, the team members want to kill them, but after a debate the team decides to releases them and stop the mission. Unfortunately, the herders found Taliban soldiers and the SEALs are discovered by Taliban. After the drastic battle, all the SEALs members are die except Luttrell. Then, a local Pashtun villager discovered him and brought him home. The Taliban fighters arrive at the village to capture and kill Luttrell, but Gulab and the villagers intervene, threatening to kill the fighters if they harm Luttrell. The fighters leave, but later return to punish the villagers for protecting Luttrell. After the fight, American soldiers arrive and evacuate Luttrell back to base.
