Abstract:

As a new war form after the Cold War, the Intervention War is armed intervention in affairs of other countries in the name of humanitarianism and antiterrorism. Interventionwar films differ from other war films in that, instead of describing largescale military confrontations or a completevictory ending, they tend to shape the sadness and helplessness of heroes as well as the distortion and degeneration of human nature among soldiers. Although such films no longer describe the international conflict as that between the two opposing camps during the Cold War, yet they distinctively demonstrate the ideology of western culture.)

Key words: film, genre film, intervention war in film, ideology
