Speaking of Terrence Malik, film fans and friends will think of beautiful photography, philosophical monologues, stream-of-consciousness narratives... From "Days of Heaven" to "The Thin Red Line" to "The Tree of Life" And "Journey of Time", Malik has become an indispensable must-have for movie watchers who love movie audio-visual.
The establishment of such a stream of consciousness and philosophical style is undoubtedly in this film.
When it comes to this film, the first thing everyone thinks of is the style that swept the Oscars, the big wins in Cannes and Berlin, the gathering of movie stars and so on. Of course, these are facts, but don't forget that every feature of this film is a must-have feature of future Malik films.
That is, the opening points mentioned.
Reflected in this film:
Philosophical color
stream of consciousness
beautiful camera
In addition, the action design of the film is also very unique.
When you see that the Japanese army guarding the film actually becomes a lunatic
The cruelty of war revealed
Watching this film from time to time talking about life and death sentences, brings us into the "philosophical exploration of life and death", and talks about people's values, worldview, the contradiction between war and people's desires, beauty and cruelty...
In short, poetic warfare, philosophical speculation, and huge themes.
highly recommended.
