秘密部队第一季

在其中一集中Jonas在未知的情况下击毙了身为游击队的老友，关于此事影射了启发The Unit著作的Inside Delta Force作者Eric Haney在洪都拉斯培训该国特种部队的经历，在书中表示他曾经直接参与过和当地共党游击队的地面战斗，在一次伏击中他亲手射杀了一名游击队指挥官，在搜查其文件时发现其为Enrique 'Keekee' Sáenz（ 真名：David Arturo Báez），前美国陆军特种部队士官，曾经参加过Delta Force的甄选。和Jonas一样，Haley也怀疑Enrique在为游击队服务的当中仍旧私下和美国政府有所来往。虽然此事引发了不少争议以及受到部分特种部队队员的否认，但仍旧在本剧中呈现了出来。节选自原书的内容：    I rolled the man onto his back and looked him over carefully before checking him for documents. He would have been a handsome man in life. Medium-sized and tightly muscled, with a deep chest and wide shoulders, he had the perfect build for a soldier. I gazed at his dirt- and gunpowder-covered face as I closed his glazed eyes. Jimmy had finished sweeping the perimeter. After positioning his men, he came over to where I was kneeling in the dust. I held up a hand and stopped him before he could give his report. ―Jimmy, take a long look and tell me if you think you‘ve ever seen this man before,‖ I asked as I thumbed through the various papers I had found in the pockets of the corpse. I pulled out a Nicaraguan military ID. ―Jesus Christ, Eric. You know who that is? That‘s Keekee Saenz. You remember him, don‘t you? He was in my Special Forces class and he went to Selection with us. I thought I‘d heard he went back to 3/7 Special Forces in Panama.‖ I turned the ID card over and read the name on the front: ―Capitan Enrique Eduardo Saenz-Herrera.‖ Enrique Saenz-Herrera, staff sergeant in the United States Army Special Forces. I remembered him from Selection as a quiet, competent type. A professional. I didn‘t get the opportunity to know him very well, but I had enjoyed talking with him on several occasions. I remembered now—he had been cut from Selection on the Day of Disappearances. Now he was gone for good. Dead. On a godforsaken, nondescript mountaintop, in a remote and utterly worthless part of the world. And I had killed him.     Something about this was badly wrong, and I was beginning to feel dirty and used. Some of the nagging little oddities about this mission started to come together in my mind. Like why the CIA had pushed so hard for this operation, and why we had been denied other support. As always when dealing with those people, it was a good chance I wouldn‘t receive any satisfactory answers, but I was as hell going to have a serious talk about this whole mission with the CIA‘s chief of station when I got back to Tegucigalpa. But I couldn‘t stop to dwell on my thoughts just now, for there was still much work to do.

    最近在看《The Unit秘密行动组》，讲的是美国专门替政府干脏活累活的行动小组。首先第一感觉——美国还真是世界警察，现在看了第二季开始，unit成员已经将自己的足迹遍布世界各地，欧亚非拉美，要不是南极那里没什么人，估计哥几个去那里也是板上钉钉的事情。    同前段时间看过的《士兵突击》比较起来，这部片子当然实战的内容更多（毕竟两个电视剧虽然说得都是军队的事情，但是角度不同），而且还有家庭的一条主线（士兵突击里大家都是单身小伙子）——男人在前方流血流汗，女人在后方也安生不到哪儿去，养孩子的养孩子，做生意的做生意    在这部电视剧里，多次出现了“中国”二字，俄罗斯已经不见有人提了，中国成了美国一大假想敌。    在剧中，也展示了美军的实力（不过不知道是真是假），地面遥控无人侦察机，救生装置（充气气球连个绳子，下面栓个人，飞机头前有个剪刀一样的东西，飞过气球，夹住后把人带起来——觉得太神，都有点假了）。    美剧有一点特点，就是把人当作一个真实的人来写，所以The Unit里有偷情的妻子，有为了给母亲治病不得不做的兼职（士兵猎头），有入不敷出借高利贷的遗孀，有私下的烈士基金等等，当然他也有道德底线，毕竟还是主旋律吗，所以诚实、爱国还是不变的主题。    在这个国耻日，还是愿国家强盛吧。

豆瓣8.0分，1457人评价——这个数字放在今天可能被《海豹突击队》之类的新剧秒杀，但《秘密部队》第一季在2006年就做到了让军事迷闭嘴惊艳。最让我服气的是它的真实感，而不是那些花哨的爆炸和慢动作。大卫·马梅亲自操刀编剧和导演，把特种部队的日常拍得像纪录片一样硬朗：没有主角光环加持的胡逼行动，任务中每一个决策都带着德州扑克般的心理博弈，失败了就是真的伤亡。专业评价里说它“真实感强烈的特种作战叙事”，我觉得一点没吹。比如第一集那个渗透任务，全程靠着伪装和静默完成，连背景音乐都省了——这才是现代特种兵该有的样子，比那些动不动就端着机枪横扫的爽剧高到不知哪里去。更难得的是双线叙事：一边是战场的命悬一线，一边是后方家属的鸡毛蒜皮。妻子们不仅要瞒着邻居丈夫的工作性质，还要承受“可能永远等不回他”的心理折磨。奥德瑞·玛丽·安德森演的妻子团简直绝了，那种压抑中带着坚韧的表情，比任何战斗场面都戳人。当然，也有槽点：有些支线情节太拖，比如新人Bob Brown的家庭戏份一度让我快进。但整体节奏紧凑，每一集都像一部微电影，不像现在的美剧动不动就注水10集。观众说它“被低估的优质军事剧集”，我双手双脚赞成。如果非要挑刺，大概就是特效预算有限——但谁在乎呢？真实感从来不是靠钱砸出来的。最后说句偏激的：如果十年前我看过这部剧，后来那些《饥饿游戏》式的伪军事大片根本骗不了我。
