What does the soldier say in Red Corner?
In a pivotal scene in the 1997 movie Red Corner, a corrupt soldier realizes that his boss is no longer going to shield his involvement in a murder. He shouts "Da Gwar!" in outrage plus several other aggrieved syllables, presumably in Mandarin. I let Google Translate have a try at it, but the app failed to translate the exclamation into English.
I've long wondered exactly what he said; can anyone provide a translation?
Best Answer
The most likely tranlated word for "Da Gwar" is actually "??(Da guar)“ REF:scripts. In practice , there are two possibilities.
- First , it can translate literally as "big officer"(? for big, ? for officer) and that usage matches the "big short" quoted in the movie.
- Secondly, it can also use as a common nickname between friends (both meanings could co-exist since it's possible to use a mocking title to a nickname or parental expectation calling for children) Furthermore.It's rare to call someone "Big officer" directly in conversation,the more common title used should be something else like "Leader(?? or supervisor/manager)"
