Under the scorched earth, life is eternal

19, confirmed. This sentence is the most tear-jerking sentence in the whole film, which made me cry. Hollywood earned my stingy tears with a main theme.

The super-loving Josh and "Boom Drummer" are not the main motivation for me to watch only the brave. I want to watch this on a whim, mainly because of the "real event adaptation".

After watching it, I found out that this work by the director named Joseph K is really outstanding.

You really can't just watch the plot. This is a "model film" with a high degree of completion. The structure is easy to imitate, and it is worth learning by practitioners.

Now watching movies, I love to study scene design and lens design more and more. Although I am not a practitioner, my research on film structure and audio-visual language also brings a lot of inspiration to my writing work.

The screenwriter's portrayal of the characters is remarkable. A large number of scene designs are designed around the characters. The arrows are not empty. The portrayal of the characters in a limited time is very three-dimensional, and the characters are full of personality. The whole is full of seemingly random but heart-wrenching designs, making the film compact and coherent in the cross-editing of group activities and individual activities. The fiery bear plot designed at the beginning of the film is also echoed at the appropriate time point in the second half of the film. The seemingly magical dream-like scene turns out to be a real event experienced by the audience, which not only frightens the audience, but also serves as the final "captain". The death artistically foreshadowed. On the whole, the whole film is neat and beautiful, and the structure is easy to learn. Such a script must be the result of repeated polishing. Without these, the whole film would not be presented in such a coherent manner.

Besides audio-visual language, a lot of aerial photography, aerial photography is really love, very shocking. When shooting group portraits of the team members, the director likes to use the top shot very much. First, the big top shot, and then the individual close-up. This kind of shot is very efficient. To illustrate the director's preference, take a look at the graph below:

Of course, there are also these that are widely used by directors:

The above is a group shot, an individual life scene, and there are also some excellent shots:

By the way, praise the lighting level of the big Hollywood factory, the lighting is really good.

Of course, these scenes at the end of the film are also very good, there is a sense of western film, and it does not violate the harmony.

In addition, at the beginning of the movie, a series of close-ups of Josh's actions from getting up after receiving the task to preparing the equipment, echoing the final echoes of the film, are also very smooth and complete. This is also a cut that I like very much.

I have collected this film for a long time, but I just watched it today. Maybe the story of the film is too real, which made me feel so immersed in it that I was willing to let Hollywood earn my tears. At the end of the film, the director put the character prototypes, and saw those young and full of vitality faces passing by one by one, it was like watching them turn to ashes and die one by one in front of his eyes, and with the song Hold the light, the tears were once again determined. embankment.

Finally, put the photos of these young lives in memory as a souvenir.

May the tragedy never repeat itself. May the lost lives rest in peace.

The world will not erase your traces by the passing of the flesh, because you were real.

May the departed Liangshan firefighters rest in peace. People will not forget this tragedy, let alone you.
