| Lone Survivor | comment |
The Film of the Book by the same name, Lone Survivor tells the story of Operation Red Wings and the death of SEAL team 10. Starring Mark Wahlberg and featuring an extended cameo by Marcus Luttrell himself (though not as himself), the story is slightly changed from Luttrell's original telling, and considerably truncated. | |

Injured Self-Drag | |
| Lone Survivor / int_1720ea9c | comment |
In the movie, a battered Marcus Luttrell stands up and limps to Mohammad Gulab's village. In real life, Luttrell had suffered multiple bullet and shrapnel wounds, a broken leg, and fractured vertebrae, and couldn't even get up on his knees. Instead, he crawled to the stream where Gulab found him. Across ten Goddamn miles of the Hindu Kush Mountains. The producers didn't think anyone would believe that. | |

Training Montage | |
| Lone Survivor / int_31fcc258 | comment |
Training Montage: The film's opening is a montage of real-life SEALs training. And not even the combat or survival training itself, just the Hell Week portion in which candidates are wet, sandy, sleep-deprived, and hypothermic (San Diego winters may be relatively mild, but the water gets cold) for eight days straight, in which most quit voluntarily. Despite it being only a few minutes long, it's more than enough to show how SEALs get to be such badasses. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Lone Survivor / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Even if you hadn't heard the story the title is a less-than-subtle hint. Unfortunately, this actively deflates any possible drama, because the story really is this simple and the title alone summarises first 80 of the 110 minutes running time. | |

Sacred Hospitality: The reason why Marcus is being helped. To the point where the locals would rather fight to defend him, on the ground of how sacred the hospitality is, than simply let him be captured and executed. He never quite can wrap his head around to why anyone would do such a thing. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Lone Survivor / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: The film leaves out the extended period of time Luttrell spent with the villagers, all the relationships he built therein, and how Taliban fighters repeatedly broke in at night to beat and torture him. There is, however, a brief nod to it when he hugs a kid who helped him and says "thank you" right before leaving. In the movie, a battered Marcus Luttrell stands up and limps to Mohammad Gulab's village. In real life, Luttrell had suffered multiple bullet and shrapnel wounds, a broken leg, and fractured vertebrae, and couldn't even get up on his knees. Instead, he crawled to the stream where Gulab found him. Across ten Goddamn miles of the Hindu Kush Mountains. The producers didn't think anyone would believe that. In the book, the team takes a vote to decide the fate of the goatherders, and Luttrell casts the deciding vote after Murphy states he would go along with what Luttrell chose. This sparked a considerable controversy after the book was published and prompted a statement from Lt. Murphy's father claiming that his son would never hold a democratic vote to decide if someone should live or die, let alone a civilian. In the film, the team debates, bickers, begins to vote... and Lt. Murphy steps out from behind a tree and announces in ringing tones that he is in command and will make the decision. Theoretically, the only living person who knows the actual sequence of events is Luttrell. | |

Values Dissonance | |
| Lone Survivor / int_9c6ba43a | comment |
Values Dissonance: Invoked. Luttrell is a conservative Christian from Texas who has effectively no common ground with the equally conservative Muslim Pashtun. Still, he admires their courage and commitment to their idea of honor, and when he describes the the Pashtun attitude towards women, he admits that while their extreme views "may not work for downtown Dallas," it seemed to work well enough for them. | |

Mood Whiplash: Luttrell almost getting executed is immediately followed by a comedic scene where he asks for a knife and, due to the language barrier, initially gets a duck instead. This, in turn, is followed by Luttrell using said knife to dig shrapnel out of his wounded leg and sloooowly pull out a shard of metal nearly the size of his hand. | |

Rule of Drama: Most of the Pashto is untranslated, as Luttrell didn't know it. However, when he's about to be executed by the Taliban and one of the Pashtun invokes Sacred Hospitality to keep him alive, we're briefly given subtitles so that the Taliban not executing him would be reasonable and not seem like a Deus ex Machina. | |

Instant Death Bullet | |
| Lone Survivor / int_a754fa9a | comment |
Instant Death Bullet: One of the most notable subversions in modern cinema. All the SEALs take multiple gunshot and even shrapnel wounds and just keep going. Granted, their do break down from fatigue and blood loss, while their combat capacity is gradually worn down, and three of them eventually get killed. But it takes multiple shots to bring each of them down and over prolonged time. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy | |
| Lone Survivor / int_a796d2a6 | comment |
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Zig-Zagged for the most part. The SEALs have had years of training that the Taliban members can't possibly compete with. Said that, the Taliban come off as bad shots by simple comparison, rather than actual poor accuracy, and then there is also the gear disparity to account for. Played straight when Axelson is being finally killed. It takes three bullets for the Taliban to hit him from range of just few paces, where missing such shot shouldn't be even possible. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Lone Survivor / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Thanks to Lt. Murphy's sacrifice, support aircraft are eventually called in for the surviving SEALs, but one is quickly shot down, killing all onboard, and forcing the other to withdraw immediately. | |

ZigZagged | |
| Lone Survivor / int_c3db1619 | comment |
Zig-Zagged for the most part. The SEALs have had years of training that the Taliban members can't possibly compete with. Said that, the Taliban come off as bad shots by simple comparison, rather than actual poor accuracy, and then there is also the gear disparity to account for. | |

Gunship Rescue | |
| Lone Survivor / int_c558da6a | comment |
Gunship Rescue: Subverted the first time, when one of the transport choppers is shot down and the other has to be pulled out. Played straight the second time, where a proper rescue operation with full support is performed. | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Lone Survivor / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: Once the whole operation goes sideway, Murphy and Luttrell have a semi-serious exchange they now gonna have easier time killing their targets, given they are surrounded and probably won't make it alive anyway. It very quickly stops being funny. Marcus is eventually desperate enough to keep carrying a grenade just to make it clear, despite the Language Barrier, that he doesn't trust the people around him, even if they seem to be helpful. | |

Come with Me If You Want to Live: How Luttrell is eventually saved - he's found by a local Pashtun and has to almost drag by force to safety from an incoming Taliban patrol. | |

The Cavalry | |
| Lone Survivor / int_d9e9ad7e | comment |
The Cavalry: Two Chinook choppers without any support speed up to the rescue. You can probably predict how this goes. In the end, the full air rescue is send to the Kandish village, just in time to turn the tide of the ongoing skirmish. | |

Determinator | |
| Lone Survivor / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: The entire SEAL team, but most notably Axelson. He keeps going until he runs out of bullets for both his rifle and his side arm and only then stops moving. That after taking multiple wounds of all kinds himself, including a (grazing) one to his head. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Lone Survivor / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Cruelly subverted, as Kristensen arriving with the other SEALs is treated as a Hope Spot… right up until a rocket-propelled grenade is fired directly into the Chinook's cargo bay and kills everyone aboard. | |

| Lone Survivor / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: While going over the rules of engagement and mission plan in the briefing, they discuss their radio protocol. The team is told to call in every two hours, and it is decided that if the team misses two consecutive radio calls, to "wake someone up" - slang for take serious action. Later, the CO is literally woken up by the team calling in on an unsecure satphone...after missing two consecutive radio calls. | |
