Houston 2022-04-19 09:02:11

In the trenches on the front line, the young people were trembling with fear, their nerves were tense, and they collapsed; on the scene, their eyes were so dull that they rushed forward, and they were even crazy to kill. The battle is fierce on the battlefield; the soldiers not only have to use all their strength to fight against the enemy, but also fight against their own fragile spiritual world. The patriotic enthusiasm has not been wiped out by the war, but it has become lost because of the war, like a fantasy butterfly. The sustenance becomes a bubble.

    9. The first sound military feature film, resolutely anti-war. No soundtrack, a serious attitude of monophonic mixing, 45min of trench offensive and defensive battles high camera overhead (50-foot boom), the visual effect of moving backwards is quite similar to the predecessor of the Steadicam long lens in "Road to Glory". One of the most shocking endings of the film: a close-up of Paul's dying hand twitching and hanging down. The meaning is timeless and great. 丨Comparing the two Western Front Wars, with regard to the performance of the war's impact on the characters, in 1918, at the end of the 1918, from the sidelines, an overview of some mentally typed expressions and the wailing group portraits of the hospital. This film designs the mental journey of the protagonist from the point of view of the protagonist and from the sidelines, a tone of sorrow that has gradually become popular, and by the way, it also satirizes the leisure class behind. 737
