1. The plot part: The Pacific War, for such a grand topic, the plot should cover key events, but it lacks major events such as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the naval battle of Midway, the bombing of Tokyo, the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and the death of three books and fifty-six. . This war is mainly based on naval battles, and the director may integrate the entire story chain based on real World War II soldiers, so that the whole picture of the war cannot be displayed macroscopically. After all, one person cannot participate in all wars. The overallity and coherence of the plot is quite good, giving it 85 points. 2. Scene scheduling:
2.1 Setting: The story of the film focuses on the positional warfare on the island, which basically reflects the combat environment on each battlefield. The social environment of the United States and Australia is also more realistic and complete. The scheduling of war scenes is first-rate. 10 years ago, it was possible to capture the intensity of exciting battles. Switching from different angles and adding the first point of view gave the audience a strong sense of immersion, and their hearts followed the camera. The tension is in Jump and feel the cruelty of war. Afterwards, from the perspective of warship officers and soldiers, there will be a display of grand wars facing the beachheads billowing with gunpowder and bombing in the distance. People can't help but feel that the lives and deaths of these little people are just the epitome of thousands of soldiers. At the same time, during vacations, a moment's rest between battles, and the related bridges of falling in love with a girl, the scene is well controlled, and the warm sea breeze, warm home, and sweet love are all displayed in front of you.
2.2 Decoration: The weapons and equipment of the Marine Corps, the field command post, the military supplies, and the related clothing of the Japanese army are all displayed in great detail.
2.3 Light: There are some stories in the whole plot that take place in the dark night, bullets and flares, the light and shadow effects are real, especially at the beginning, because the recruits are inexperienced, they kill their teammates in a panic, giving people a sense of
2.4 Depth of field: On the whole, in order to highlight the changes in the inner activities of the characters and the positions of blood and flesh, the depth of field of the film is relatively shallow, allowing the audience to see the severed limbs, rib cage tears, headshots and other cruelties up close. The war, and the mentality changes of the character PFC Eugene Sledge from the jerky of a new recruit, to the experienced smoking, to the shock of the heart, and the mental breakdown of the veteran Sgt. Elmo 'Gunny' Haney.
2.5 Clothing and Make-up: In this aspect, the best, 100 points, admire.
3. Reflections on the war: 1) It highlights the tragic nature of the Pacific War. It is not easy for American soldiers to be brave. Although they are heroic, they also have weakness in human nature. The lectures in the boot camp are very down-to-earth. There is also an nco who retired for 7 months and volunteered to return to the battlefield of the Marine Corps. Iwo Jima died soon, and there was no inspirational words. Just like an ordinary soldier, there are other soldiers' corpses next to them. Everyone is charging. The camera is from a top-down perspective. Slowly pull up people can not help but sigh. After the war, the plot of his wife going to his house to give him the Medal of Honor moved him to tears. There is no greatness in the war, but nothing is small, and only surviving is the real purpose. 2) The display of the Japanese army is too monotonous. In the film, it seems that the Japanese army will only commit suicide and charge, and it is cruel and ruthless. This aspect is a bit one-sided. 3) The American soldier opened the Japanese soldier's carry-on bag, which contained love letters and photos, what a warm heart, but this is a battlefield, there is no injustice or enmity between the two sides, but they must face each other by death; there are also several scenes that are very uncomfortable, In the scenes of human flesh bombs on the Ryukyu and the death in the thatched hut, I can't help but think about why we are fighting?
