      There is no break in the midfield, only war

      I went to see the movie today, I hadn't read the plot synopsis before, and I was very confident (laughs). Ten minutes after watching a movie, you suddenly realize that there is a Veterans Day in the United States recently? Is it these days? I was very touched after watching this movie. (I really am not good at Amway = =)
      Because the film tells the story of a young Iraqi soldier, and the entire filming is very much the director's self-reflection on the video medium, and I happen to have...

      The story is "simple", but the director's efforts are everywhere

      [Quick overview of the article]
      The first part talks about the theme of the film related to "understanding"; on this basis, the second part discusses the ethical value of the 120-frame technology; the third part analyzes the classic "modern" Ang Lee films "Hero" image: that is, how a teenager, without resorting to abstract ideas and religion, relies on his own exploration to approach what Lynn calls "the greater existence" step by step.

      Ang Lee with a plain face

      While watching "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle," I kept thinking about that "Making Woodstock." Of course, maybe many people don't know the movie at all.
             Lynn and the festival share many similarities both internally and externally, and both films follow two major culminations of Ang Lee's career to date - Lynn's post-Pi, And the music festival is the work after Brokeback Mountain. Lynn still has at least 120 frames of technical highlights and various promotions, and the music festival...

      you can't understand

      Probably the last audience to watch the 120fps+4K+3D version of "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle". Technology has not changed the gentle, elegant and sharp Ang Lee. I understood two sentences in the whole film. The first sentence is "I'm searching" uttered by Lynn. This is Ang Lee's reflexive thinking on grand propositions such as art and faith. It is humble, pious and extremely profound. The second sentence is probably the unspoken "You know nothing", how do you understand war,...

      Technology makes movies less

      There is no need to engage in 3D. I bought 3D4K120 frames. Except for the subtitles and 3D glasses, I didn't feel any other 3D. The high-definition is really good. I can feel the changes in the characters' faces, but I feel that the director wants to show this technology too much. The performance made it impossible for the audience to enter (well, I watched freckles too carefully), HD and 3D are too heavy on the eyes and can easily cause visual fatigue, plus the rendering cage in the first half...

      In order to let everyone see the 3D scorpion on the actor's face, Uncle Zi An sacrificed all his virginity. Seeing that in the end Vin Diesel was sitting in a Hummer with a Tang Guoqiang-style chairman smile, he vomited. This negative-scoring script is full of nonsense and useful lines with no more than 10 lines, and the scene scene scheduling of Zero Egg took all the actors as headshots. I feel that Uncle An was tragically kidnapped by technology and finally even his panties were stripped...

      Ang Lee is also 63 years old, and the new film is quite satisfactory. 120fps doesn't feel special, and visible content is always...

      How difficult it is for a person to live honestly, he has to go through all kinds of arrangements, to be arranged, to choose and to be chosen, in the end, honesty means, first of all, not being honest with others, but being honest with yourself, not escaping to face it. For yourself, in the face of everything that is going on, when you still don't know yourself, don't rush onto the stage of the performance, it's just a monkey show being manipulated by...

      Personal real life experience is turned into symbols for consumption by different people. This is a common but extremely frustrating thing in this era. Ang Lee has always been an art creator with unstoppable sympathy for the inner plight of human beings. Fortunately, there is a theme of growth and destiny that keeps the film from being so bleak. 120fps is a great value for this...

    Evaluation action

    "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" is a psychological drama with a very literary style. The parallel editing follows Lynn's reaction to the scene. You don't know what the next scene will be, and you don't know where the protagonist is in the next scene. That's what Ang Lee is good at. Therefore, in contrast to technology, what the audience sees is still the previous Ang Lee who is keen on details. In the film, during the halftime...

    • Shroom: We are a nation of children, Billy. We go somewhere else to grow up, sometimes die.

    • Billy: Civilians are the ones running this show. I've lived the damn war but it's still their war. Isn't it?

    • Dime: You hear that? That's the sound on us about to get fucked.
