Another discussion of war and heroism (just some general brief reviews)

In addition to cruelty to the witnesses, what is the truth of war?
People need heroes to believe in and make them believe that victory is within reach.

But the title of hero is probably just a form of suffering and insult to some warriors who once fought hard to survive on the battlefield, but still occasionally driven by instinct and died for their brothers.

People always crave more than the truth when they're stuck, and find the truth when they don't need it, wiping...

personal experience after watching

The theme of the movie's ability to express is very good, "no one is a hero, but everyone is a hero, and the hero is because we need it", in a special era, many people sacrificed and even gave their lives, but they may not be the same. They don't do it with great ideals and beliefs, they just protect what they feel is worthwhile. But as far as the movie itself is concerned, I felt that the cuts of the storyline were not strong enough, too fragmented, and every time I thought I saw...

hero of lies

Eastwood's cowboy demeanor has swept the world for decades. Even if there are occasional glimpses of gentleness, it is like a covered bridge's last dream, and he has never been seen to destroy the hero. This movie may not have been his intention, but judging from the effect of the finished film, this is a true anti-hero movie.
The reason for adding the word "true" is that in general anti-hero war movies, the stalwart image of the hero is weakened by increasing the character characteristics...

Give the audience to think about the contradictions - "The Banner of the Fathers"

After watching it, I was a little shocked and speechless. The last time I saw a contradiction to the audience was the giant part 3 and 4; the first of this movie is: the anti-fascist war and personal contradictions - war always requires people to fight, sacrifice is In order to save more people, but from a personal perspective, what would you do in the face of death. From this, the audience can think of similar anti-war conclusions.

Then there...

Return the hero to the truth

What is a hero? It is the sacrifice of one's life in the face of danger, the unrepentant dedication that has been done for decades, or the high level of the model drama.

The film tells the story of a group of heroes, but tells us that perhaps the perfect hero image has added over-exaggeration of the media, or the extra imagination of others. People often like simple things, good or evil, noble or ugly, and the creation of heroic images often carries such extreme pursuits. But heroes,...

The old cowboy is really good at filming, and the music of the casting, plot scenes, and music are praised. The story is narrated in flashback, focusing on the objective irony of the lack of humanity after the war, reflecting on pure heroism, the overall compact and profound, and the end of the post-war life of the soldiers and their families is full of emotion. It is very good to read with "Family Letter", double...

Compared with the letter from Iwo Jima, this film is much more natural for Uncle Dongmu to deal with. Therefore, the theme of the film is very layered and the expression is richer. The war scenes are very beautiful, and the low-saturation colors bring a heavy sense of history; the interspersed memory and reality are very natural, and the rhythm is just right, so the theme is deep but not...

They stood for the country, they died for their comrades in arms, behind the film is a heavy humanistic...

The battle scene is quite spectacular, but that kind of tragic seems to be lacking. Memories after the war somewhat cut off the rhythm of the whole film, and there were too many jumps. This film is to be watched together with "Letter from Iwo Jima", but that one is obviously promiscuous, so both series are somewhat...

Heroes are something we creat, something we need. It's a way for us to understand what is almost incomprehensible how people could sacrifice so much for us. But if we wish to truly honor these man, we should remember them the way they really...
