      call to god

      Although JC is not the protagonist, his performance in the film is really impressive. Those big blue eyes naturally reveal a natural compassion and kindness. He played Witt, innocent, kind, and witty. He likes everything peaceful and beautiful, but he will never back down when charging into battle; after capturing the Japanese fortress, when others are beating and shooting prisoners, he holds the hand of a dying prisoner, and sees the surviving comrades on vacation, He shed tears in sadness....

      World War II's "Apocalypse Now," an overly reluctant war reflection movie

      This 170-minute work immediately reminded me of Coppola's famous "Apocalypse Now" in war movies. I liked that work very much, but I didn't like this film.

            As a typical depiction of war scenes, focusing on calmly observing the war from the perspective of small people, Apocalypse uses the experience of the protagonist Captain along the way, as well as the final emotional conflict with the American traitor Colonel, clearly leading the audience to experience the kind of Vietnam War....

      The first to revisit the classics of falling scores

      Who said that the filming was super boring, obviously the action scenes were very interesting, although I felt that there was a problem with the scene scheduling, and the sense of space in the war scenes was too poor... Although this film is generally considered to be famous in film history, but after rewatching it, I decided to drop it. points, I personally think the style is very incongruous...

      This film is going to talk about a very content theme, anti-war, life, destination, the...

      Few people really understand this movie

      First of all it's not a war movie at all
      Second of all this movie has got a bunch of big names to cover up its real shine.. It seems to be overpowering. How do you expect a group of people who come to see the actors to understand such a profound theme. And
      then. What this movie is about is not in line with the philosophical thinking of the Orientals.
      Finally, if you are a scientific madman in theoretical physics, it should be more suitable for you to understand such a movie. The...

      After the war, the world has no peach blossom garden

      I haven’t watched a movie so seriously in front of the TV for a long time. Most of the movies shown on the TV are commercial films with weak underbelly. I am glad that I saw this last Berlin Golden Bear Award in the 20th century on CCTV6 this time. The winner of the film "The Thin Red Line". This movie, in my opinion, is definitely a shocking classic, even though it just missed the Oscars. After watching it, it was like a stick in my throat, and I was depressed and uncomfortable. Why there is...

    Movie plot

    In 1942, the Guadalcanal Islands in the South Pacific were picturesque. American soldiers landed on the island, hoping to recover it from the Japanese invading army. The US and Japanese forces launched a large-scale battle on this small island. The arduous task of snatching the 210 positions controlled by the Japanese army fell on the "Charlie Infantry Company". For this reason, Captain Staro had a dispute with the commanding...

    Evaluation action

    "Thin Red Line" is anti-conventional, anti-conventional, and anti-genre. It does not have the "classic codes" of general genre films in terms of structure, plot, atmosphere, and spatial modeling. As the author of an anti-Hollywood genre film, it is different from any war film. The director’s narrative ingenuity subverts the Hollywood model and completes the director Terence Malik’s dialogue with a seemingly loose and chaotic narrative....
