Not to mention the performance, looking at the comments on the Internet, Gary Oldman seems to have been an Oscar winner -- I really don't think so. It's not that he didn't act well, but that the shaping of this kind of leader belongs to a relatively special kind of performance, and the shape seems to account for a large proportion. Whether the judges would like a more imaginative and original performance is hard to say.
Music makes a deep impression on me. In fact, I always feel that more than 80% of movie music is unnecessary, especially the theme songs in Chinese movies and TV dramas. It is possible not to. The music of this film, without the vocals, effectively sets off the plot and is a fuel for the audience's emotions. Okay.
The story of the whole film is heavy and difficult, but the rhythm is tough, without procrastination, and the ending is concise and powerful. I can't believe it's from the same director as that dragging "Anna Karenina".
Talk about the theme of the movie. I remember the writer Lu Yao quoted a passage from another writer at the beginning of a novel, to the effect that life may seem long and boring, but often a few steps at a critical moment determine the fate of your life. . What if old Churchill had negotiated with Germany? Will the history of WWII be rewritten? Will the UK have more respite? Will wars get longer or shorter? ...but one thing I can be sure of is that a great statesman will never be known for this. But one more Chamberlain, Pétain and even Wang Jingwei.
All of this, is there really nothing to learn from all beings in the peaceful era? In the face of the brutal and brutal measures that were carried out openly, he turned his face away in silence just because the matter was irrelevant. Back off in difficult times, self-forgiveness, abandoning inner ideals and the pursuit of good things. Confused by the overwhelming and colorful consumerist feast, giving up the hard self-cultivation and protecting the mind alone... Ideals, beliefs, justice and social responsibility, insisting on them is painful and hopeless, and want to think about them. To become a qualified social citizen, all this must be adhered to.
I always remember a sentence my Chinese teacher told us when I was in middle school: the world is poisonous and bitter, and the right path in the world is difficult.
