Portman's role as Sam's wife Min, apart from having an affair with Gyllenhaal, who plays Sam's younger brother, has nothing special to offer. Portman is far more charismatic in roles that are a little more clever and a little cunning than a good wife.
In the film, Maguire's Sam has a large contrast between the front and the back, and there is a lot of room for the actor to express. As a soldier, he also has restraint in his emotional restraint at home. Before he went to Afghanistan, he repeatedly reminded his brother not to cause trouble, and asked his daughter to eat the food she didn't like at the dinner table. Sam's principles are turned upside down when he faces life-threatening threats to his captivity and the possibility of being separated from his family. He was forced to kill the team members. Although the video was damaged after being rescued, his heart was burned with torment.
After Sam returned home, he was reticent and unwilling to communicate with his family at first, then aggressively tortured his wife and brother, and then slapped the table on the table until he smashed the kitchen with a cane, rushed out of the house with a gun and yelled, trying to raise a gun. suicide. He killed his teammates to get home alive. Even when he got home, he couldn't talk about his actions and couldn't repent. The closest family, his daughter even cursed him to die well. So why suffer so much? There is no one to comfort Sam's broken heart, let alone happiness, no peace of mind. In the end, he told his wife the truth. But the scars left by such a brutal experience made Sam feel like he was dead. I just wonder if the love of his family can bring him back to the world?
There are many indoor shots in the movie, on the dining table, in the kitchen, in the bar, and in small spaces, each person's different personalities and habits are fully depicted. In particular, Bailee Madison, who played Isabella, the eldest daughter of Sam, performed with great tension, and she was no less than a well-known adult in front of a group of well-known adults. In one scene, at sister Isabella's birthday party, she was dissatisfied with her sister's birthday, and dissatisfied with her father's return home. At first, she made some small gestures. After being reprimanded by her father, her eyes filled with tears, and she scratched and rubbed the balloon to make a noise of scraping eardrums. , and finally an unreasonable growl at his father. The escalation of this mood and the change of Sam's mood in the film allude to each other and complement each other. This is not only a cute and beautiful doll, Madison also has a jaw-dropping explosiveness when acting.
However, this film is a remake of the Danish film "Blood Brothers", and it is said that the original film is more exciting. This film has moved me very much, but I want to see how delicious the original soup is.
