Imminent death, no soul.
"Unbreakable" was originally intended to tell a story about a wounded soul that keeps getting hurt and then persists in the nearness and sublimation. However, the director (Julie)'s poor narrative control, lack of performance methods, and various meaningless tributes make the whole film like a slow-moving train. After a full 138 minutes, it completely fell into the distance.
The story itself is composed of the classic three-paragraph style plus memory interspersed with memories.
Unfortunately, even though it can be seen that director Jolie has put a lot of effort into making the first half as entertaining as possible, the lack of completeness of the narrative makes the connection of each scene disappointing and fails to convince the audience. That is to say, at the beginning, what should have been a profound bridge linking the male protagonist's rebellious childhood is the rebellious childhood of the male protagonist. This pattern of connection everywhere and for the sake of connection not only makes the story lack sense of integrity and logic, but also fails to achieve its profound meaning. Meaning, it's just a deliberate pseudo-entertainment in preparation for the heaviness of the story later in the story. In the dark childhood, because of the bridges similar to "Forrest Gump", with the rapid switching of shots, the male protagonist instantly changed from a rebellious teenager to an athlete, adding glory to the country, and then fighting for the country. Exploding, ironically, at the same time the whole story is so scrambled that it doesn't have any so-called point. Afterwards, "The Fantastic Drifting of the Youth Pie" began to focus on the dark side of human nature, but it was obviously not strong enough and full of naivety.
The scum who stole the food of his companions was only scum once before he died.
The Japanese junior officers are just a little perverted, and they are not bad, and they also have their own grievances to blame. (Photo footage on the last table)
Japanese soldiers would only destroy Americans, but never kill them directly. (There was no direct casualty from beginning to end)
However, the opposite of human nature, the sublimation of the soul, has no manifestation at all. It makes the story more and more abusive but more and more boring, the depth is not enough, and the entertainment is not enough to the extreme.
In the second half, what the male protagonist was thinking, how he was thinking, and the changes in his heart were not described at all. In a trance, there was a kind of rush that made me watch the torture performance.
The real question arises, is indestructible really just for indestructible?
Is it really only strong to be strong?
Obviously not.
Indestructible (indestructible), as the name suggests, is the presence of someone attacking. In layman's terms, if someone is attacked, the normal response is to counterattack, or secretly prepare to counterattack, or admit counsel and endure it. The film tells exactly the story of choosing the last item. However, does this choice stand up to careful scrutiny as the subject of a positive energy movie?
In the film, the male protagonist has completely lost any extravagant hope for fantasy.
It was captured by enemy ships for more than 40 days at sea.
They were held in prison for more than N days, but the Japanese "showed great mercy" and did not kill them directly.
The running that I am proud of is compared by the Japanese, and is infinitely ridiculed and despised.
Sticking to the belief and returning to the prison to wait is indeed helpless to eat the fist of one's own people.
Finally, the perverted little officer was promoted and resigned, but he found that it was just the beginning of a bigger nightmare.
This step by step, we see that, in the end, even the little extravagance was covered up by the blackness of the coal.
So, what exactly is the hero insisting on? family? love? Run? free? Or wait.
Maybe I miss my family when I say hello to my family through the Japanese radio, but in general, judging from a series of performances such as the male protagonist's lack of strategy, strategy, resistance, etc., it is very sad to find that the needless waiting is exactly what he does. The so-called indestructible of choice. He is not afraid of how others are tormented, what he wants is to keep on living, no matter how tortured he is, no matter what he is helping the Japanese carry the coal, he will do whatever it takes to keep him alive.
In this way, the theme finally falls on people's survival instinct, which is really speechless to the extreme.
Many people will say that if he resists alone, it is estimated that he is not the only one who suffers.
This is not a wrong statement, but the other side of the coin is that all of them are suffering. Is there an essential difference between the so-called suffering and being destroyed? Or is death or life the difference?
Is it really better to die than to live, and to die miserably than to live miserably?
If I try to explain it with subjective initiative,
what is the purpose of Han Xin's humiliation? What did he do after that.
Why did Sima Yi endure humiliation and bear the burden? What did he do after that.
I won't discuss it here, it's just a personal opinion. People should control their destiny in their own hands, not a poor body that lacks faith and soul, and will only endure grievances and wait indefinitely.
Perhaps the story of the protagonist itself is very exciting, but the film itself has a dissonance in the control of the theme, which inevitably becomes the key to all kinds of flaws. Listening to the neighbors telling stories and telling stories with movies are completely different things. Angelina Jolie, who holds the moon, has a long way to go to become an excellent director.
