More than ten years have passed since September 11th, but Hollywood, which has always had a keen sense of money, has done little on this. Otherwise, Fahrenheit 911 is a mocking anti-war theme, or it will show you a documentary with a stern face. I think this phenomenon is inseparable from the deep pain of Americans on this issue. No one has the confidence to shoot this subject well, or more accurately, no one has the confidence to shoot this subject perfectly. In the ordinary sense, many good directors can shoot this subject well, but if they leave even a little handle, they will definitely touch some "deeply traumatized" Americans, and they will definitely jump up and use it. The most intense words strike you, and they will receive the strongest sympathy and support because of their identity. So in an instant you become a bastard who makes money for the suffering of the American people, and becomes a target for everyone in the country.
This is particularly the essence of the current predicament. To be honest, the result of this trend is that no one can make this film: people who have not experienced 9•11 are naturally unqualified, because you cannot understand our pain; those who have experienced 9•11, or just pay it back Those who can't work in the pain, and those who survived, are not eligible to shoot, because if you survived so quickly, it means that you haven't experienced the deepest pain at all.
Especially loud is definitely a good film. Daldry's photography and narrative techniques are delicate and smooth, and all the actors have done their best with sincerity. Even Hanks, who I have never seen much, really let me see the style of the actor in his few scenes. More importantly, this is a good story. It is deep and soft, and it exudes a bright color that is different from the dust of the sky in September. The original story was a story told by children who had experienced 9/11. Daldry carefully presented the entire film from the perspective of the child, and it was true and drip-proof. If it weren't for this sensitive subject matter, no one would say that it was an emotional scam and flattering college, but since it has hit a minefield, the film critics don't care about you in any way of expression, and a lot of rotten tomatoes will be thrown on your face.
Indeed, 9/11 is a history that will not be forgotten for thousands of years for the United States. For tens of thousands of families, 9•11 is a pain that will never heal. It hurts so deeply and so real, to the extent that no one but himself can understand it, just like Oskar in It is constantly emphasized in the film: You wouldn't understand. Perhaps for these people, Special Loud is indeed a shameful and irritating show, and it does play a most disgusting card. But another fact is that such people are a minority in this world.
I don't care how much frustration and humiliation 9/11 brings to Americans, and I don't want to pretend to say that I understand your pain and other nonsense, because I don't understand it, and I will never understand it. And like me, there are billions of people in the world who are all bystanders of this tragedy. Indeed we all saw the moment when the twin towers collapsed, indeed we all saw New Yorkers crying and struggling in the dust and blood, indeed at that moment our hearts were tight-but these were limited to " that moment". Maybe my position is very clear-this is a terrorism atrocities, New Yorkers are worthy of admiration, but also need our greatest support-unlike the billions of us who are still spreading conspiracy theories. , But I cannot hypocritically say what I can suffer, I will always remember this disaster in my heart. I may not think of 9•11 when no one mentioned it. I continue to lead my mediocre life, full of joy and no trauma.
And the significance of the special sound is to give this forgetful me, who cannot empathize with the ruins and corpses, a more cordial way to understand this disaster. Those real records really shocked me; those real interviews with the parties also deeply shaken my soul. But I still need a story, a complete story, from beginning to end, that allows me to lead me into the character land, holding my hand from September 11th eleven years ago, and walking past "him" is also " My days, weeks, months or even years, regardless of whether he is cured or not. This may not be the saddest story in 9/11, and I am sure that I don't need and cannot accept that kind of strong medicine, because I can't find anything similar in my mediocre life that can make me project.
Compared to those unforgettable tragedies, the loudest bit by bit can resonate with most people. Maybe I lost some important people in my life, struggled for it, wanted to remember, and finally accepted it—the child’s higher healing power than ordinary people actually neutralized the suffering of September 11 to a level that ordinary people can accept. It is enough to make us look down with tears, to resonate and to remember this resonance.
What I cannot understand is the anger of the film critics. People who are really still in pain do not have the energy to stand up and use the maximum volume, and change tricks, show off vocabulary, pile up rhetoric, and weave syntax to curse. However, these film critics held the victims of 9•11 with self-respect, thinking that the victims made a voice of conscience. They refused to see any worthy part of the movies on related themes. They blindly closed their eyes and shook their head madly and said, "I don’t watch. I don’t watch, I don’t watch!” But the nine-year-old Oskar Schell has already walked out, and thousands of 9/11 victims have already walked out, and there may be some victims crying after watching it. After coming out, time will heal everything that it can do in the future-and you film critics, who have also come out, are so noble and glamorous.
