Running towards the Oscars - Commentary on the movie "Unbreakable"

Before the film was released, cctv had done a promotion, so my expectations for the film deepened, and I found an opportunity to enter the cinema, but after watching the film, my first impression was that this film is running Oscar went.

First of all, although the theme of this film is about World War II, it does not show the cruelty of the war scenes too much, but shows the inhuman behavior of the Japanese against prisoners of war and the inner persistence of the protagonist, or it can be said to be patriotic feelings (Of course, the story is limited to the original novel, but I personally feel that I chose this novel to a large extent for the sake of the Olympics.) This film can be said to be a different approach, and there are very few films about concentration camps (note my word "very few") )

And his ambition to rush into the Olympics was also revealed during the ocean drifting. There is a sense of sight of the youth pie, the composition of the picture is so similar, and the shot of the starry sky inserted in it is more reminiscent of the youth pie. , and I personally think that the ocean rafting part is a little long. I personally think that because this plot has little connection with the life of the prisoner of war behind the protagonist, it can be replaced in one or two minutes. The movie is not a novel after all, and the novel can be described in detail. A certain plot, and the film should highlight the key points.

The Oscars have always preached that good movies are about showing humanity. Let's look at indestructible again. In fact, the life of the male protagonist in the concentration camp is very vague, and only two things are clear. One is to save the next tortured comrade from torture. Punching yourself, this act of sacrificing yourself to save others is the brilliance of human nature. Only we humans can sacrifice our own interests and even our lives to save others (irrelevant, unknown people). Another big incident is that Watanabe Hiromu asked the male protagonist to raise a steel bar (some kind of heavy object) with both hands above his head, and asked him to keep this position all the time, and if he put down the heavy object, the guards would shoot him to death . He persisted, seemingly for a long time, just when people thought he couldn't hold on, who knew that with a roar, he lifted the heavy object again, and the male protagonist's eyes kept staring at Watanabe Hiromu, unexpectedly Watanabe Hiromu collapsed instead. He was beaten to the hero. Although he was beaten, he at least escaped the murder. This is the hero who exuded the brilliance of humanity. Hongmu, this is the victory of human nature.

Jolie in order to keep the film from being "boring". The film opens with an aerial battle for us. It then flashes back to the hero's childhood, or before he became a famous athlete. There are a lot of truths interspersed in it, which are basically said through the mouth of the male protagonist, which is relatively blunt. And Julie obviously didn't know when it was more appropriate to insert these plots, so Julie chose to insert a plot whenever the hero was in distress. It's not impossible to do this, but it still seems a bit awkward. (I think it may be more appropriate to insert a scene of the hero sprinting when the hero is about to lift heavy objects. This is just my personal opinion, light spray.)

To my disappointment, originally according to cctv's propaganda, I I thought this film was mainly about the old man's mental journey of "forgiveness". Unexpectedly, I only got a text description in the film. It can be seen that CCTV is not a good propaganda helper. I think the old man hated the Japanese so much when he just returned to China. It can be said that the old man spent most of his life to "forgive". The shock could be bigger. The odds of winning the Golden Man will be even greater.

Indestructible has won three Oscar nominations, but they are all visual effects nominations. The odds of winning are not high, but it can be regarded as a gain. Indestructible may appear to be an ordinary person's movie viewing habits. It's a bit "boring", but this movie is still worth savoring slowly. Entering the movie theater for it is for the spirit of the old man.

    Bored. Not only do I think the protagonist is not awesome at all, but there is nothing remarkable about the whole film. I can write this kind of pseudo-inspirational chicken soup with my eyes closed. Even the photography and soundtrack are mediocre. I wanted to combine the characteristics of all the successful inspirational and suffering films, but it turned into a mess. The part at sea can be instantly killed by throwing any part of "Youth Pie" over, and the torture "Slave" in the concentration camp exploded in minutes.

    This movie is so torturous, I can't stop praying that it's over soon, look at the progress bar when I'm really fed up, and halfway there, omg! If you can't accompany you, please withdraw as a respect.
