故事浓缩
‘This is not science fiction’, says a commercial inviting young people to join the US Air Force. Indeed it is anything but a utopian vision when drones targeting humans in Afghanistan and other countries are operated from a safe distance. National Bird describes the dramatic experiences of three former Air Force analysts who have decided to break their silence about the secret deployment of these combat drones. Haunted by the realisation that they might have been responsible for the death of innocent victims, they are going public with their knowledge – regardless of the possible consequences. These three war veterans all signed up voluntarily for military service – either out of a sense of idealism, hardship or a feeling of duty. But all that changed as a result of the drone programme.
National Bird provides insights into the US drone programme as seen through the eyes of veterans and survivors whose stories are connected. At the same time the film asks whether it is possible for a world to exist other than one in which violence breeds violence. berlinale 2016
观众心声
演技真的太绝了，每一个眼神、每一个微表情都在讲故事。你能从演员的脸上看到角色内心所有的挣扎、隐忍、喜悦和悲伤，不需要任何台词就能完全理解角色的情感状态。这种级别的表演，放在任何时代都是顶级水准。尤其是几场情绪爆发的戏份，那种层层递进的情感张力，看得人浑身起鸡皮疙瘩。配角的表现同样可圈可点，即使是只有几句台词的小角色，也能让人记住他们的存在。
叙事节奏完美，每集都有新进展，追番体验非常好。
从个人体验看，《国鸟》属于会推荐给朋友的级别，不是粉丝滤镜，而是作品本身站得住。
《国鸟》里有几处留白处理得很高级，不把所有答案喂给观众，反而更有讨论空间，这点很难得。
细节之处最能体现用心，很多小设计在二刷时才发现，让人佩服。
