It's so bland, but not bland, you can choose not to taste it, but you have to admire it.
It's such a gimmicky movie that you wouldn't even pay to walk into its screening room if it weren't for Pleasant Goats and Bears in the same period. It seems like a sudden attack, and it does not bring a storm. The only bright spot in its publicity is the name Angelina Jolie, but at this time, she is no longer the sexy woman with all kinds of style, but a A sincere film architect.
It's so sincere that you can't figure out how it's going to be profitable. Regardless of what kind of story it tells, just looking at the soundtrack, colors, shots, and details of the entire movie is admirable. The face and the sky, the white clouds and the ocean, like the intersection of hope and disappointment, grabbed the audience's heart again and again, making the weight even heavier and a little breathless.
And looking at the whole story, that's what we should really admire. First of all, Louis. admired this Olympic legend, and at the same time went through a prisoner of war and returned to the United States as a hero, this old man who just passed away deserves the respect of all of us. The second is the story's reflection on war. If you watch this film at a glance, you may think that this film is an American version of the anti-Japanese film, but after really savouring it, you can find that what Jolie wants to convey is not just a condemnation of fascism, What's more is the hatred for war and the sympathy for humanity in war. It seems that in the end, there is no right or wrong, only mourning for the dead and cherishing life. Before the war, we all lost. When Louis sat in front of Watanabe's bed and looked at the photo of little Watanabe and his father, he chose to forgive. If there was no war, he would be standing at the Tokyo Olympics at this moment. The national anthem of the United States was sung on the podium. If there was no war, he might have met Watanabe on the street and became friends. If there was no war, his life might have been another role. But unfortunately, war came.
The name of the movie is "Unbreakable", not only the body, the spirit, but more importantly, the faith. As a first-person movie, there is no psychological activity in the whole play, and all the interpretation of inner monologue relies on the determined eyes of the male protagonist. And at the end, the shot of holding the iron block and roaring is even more brilliant. The shadow reflects the appearance of Jesus and interprets forgiveness. This is my favorite place.
To say why I gave 4 stars, maybe it's because of Jolie's macro control of the whole movie. That is to say, the details of the whole movie and the twists and turns, it seems that Jolie's narrative fire is not so fully grasped.
Some people say that Julie has put together the shadows of various Hollywood movies together. Some people say that Julie is a kid, so she is ridiculous and generous, and some people say that Julie is an unforgivable sin for ruining a good movie. But I think, like what this movie conveys, should we also give some more tolerance to this unique taste of the dish? I think at least it is a very sincere work, and I can even see the shadow of the sixth generation of directors in China. It has both the delicate and long narrative feelings of "The Two of Us" and the struggling narrative lines of "Tuina", so It's no wonder that audiences are so harsh on this film, even though it's directed by that Jolie.
In short, you may not watch this movie, but you must respect it. This kind of light taste, in fact, if you taste it carefully, it is a different mood.
