My understanding is that the film is meant to show the impact of war on people from an individual perspective. Because I have been thinking about it, my feelings as an audience (bystander) are sometimes on and off. From the outside, I can see the attitudes of various people towards the soldiers who returned after the war in the movie - those who want to make a movie for the B company The team owner sees the benefits, the audience's admiration only lasts at the moment they see them, and the malicious curiosity of a fan who has been "lected" - seriously, their feelings are cheap, even if they come from Inwardly, because they can't understand the real feelings of the soldiers, unless they go to the battlefield together to face the real life and death.
But what did Billy and his comrades feel? For this appearance in the game, it was still war; the fireworks salute were the sound of cannons and splashes of sand on the battlefield. Billy was pinned to the ground in a fight with the game staff, and he remembered that he was killed by himself with a dagger. enemy. The battle started, just like a question in a press conference - no one will feel any experience, I am afraid that the only physical response is to counterattack without the brain, like a conditioned reflex, until the enemy dies before realizing that he is alive. Soldiers are ordinary people too, Billy shed tears during the national anthem salute, but he was fantasizing about girls. To be honest, I didn't fully understand. Maybe he was affected by the atmosphere of the scene and the mixed feelings of his military experience and he wept. Moreover, why did Billy still want to return to the battlefield when he had the opportunity to retire? (Please also help to answer)
The whole movie is very delicate, and there are many echoes in the details. The end summarizes the theme like a textbook text. I think this is also very good, and it can appear not loose as a whole (I saw the face guide's spit hahaha) But one of the flaws is that The cheerleader Billy likes, from the character point of view, I think her image is very stylized, just like the beautiful heroine in the school movie, the actor's performance is not wrong, but it is out of tune with the delicateness of the movie , I even think she and Billy are two styles, you know, they seem to be in two different movies but in the same scene. Stewart's sister is amazing (here I just write my feelings), super natural, it will make people really think she is a sister who is worried about her brother.
As for the technology, I'm looking at the 60-chaste 2K version, but it's very different from IMAX, yes, it's very clear (the most impressive thing is that it's the "blood mist" produced by an enemy who was shot in the head), but there is a kind of The feeling of watching ultra-clear indoor sitcoms on a large screen, I often think that I am in the shooting room, or the scene. Although the feeling is similar to IMAX, the 60-frame movie will make people closer to the scene, as if you are standing there. Next to the actor (just imagine how awesome 120fps 4K would be). I think watching movies is a very personal thing, I mean, it should be different for everyone, critics and audiences, proponents and disapproves of film technology; heard the saying that 120fps 4K is good for The big scene, the halftime scene of "Billy Lynn" is not as grand as imagined, no matter the inner scene or the big scene, I think this technique is very suitable, the same effect it produces is more realistic - both You can feel the delicacy of the characters' hearts, and you can also show the immersiveness of the big scene.
