A battle-scarred suburb of Damascus is providing the backdrop for a nationalistic action film produced by Jackie Chan telling the story of the 2015 efforts of Chinese diplomats to evacuate hundreds of citizens and foreign nationals from Yemen as the country descended into civil war. The film, titled Home Operation, is being shot in war-torn neighbourhoods that are now under the control of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

If you think about it, it's really depressing that a city has been turned to ruble just like in over exaggerated movies.

@1truthbegettingtold275 Год назад

The destruction in movies like that comes from well studied set designers who will literally look at video and pictures of the past modern wars. Then copy the exact destruction, spacing and amount of obstacle emplacements. Its not that hard. Movies don't always exaggerate, especially when it comes to wounds cause people wouldn't believe you could survive or move. In the movie Glory when they charge Fort Wagner, the 54th Massachusetts, the guy known as Trip is depicted to have died after 3 shots holding up the flag. In reality he took 20 shots and carried the flag into the fort with a white Union soldier offering to carry it, he refused.

This is a great idea to help turn around a war-torn state. More movie productions should take place here so that the local economy can receive the positive trickle down effect. Not to mention, if any movie from this set gets international views and attentions, the set could become a tourist site, bringing in even more income for the Syrian people.

The film is loosely based on the evacuation of foreign nationals and almost 600 Chinese citizens from Yemen's southern port of Aden during late March in 2015 Yemeni Civil War.[4] I knew it
