Forget the last scene, everything is fine in the electric dream.

Maybe I can't get close to my heart the most. The reason why I love Ang Lee is that he is too cunning, too smart, too moderate, he wants everything, and no one can be offended. Like the final scene of Billy Lynn. At the moment when I almost burst into tears, a lousy scene of sacrificing a comrade-in-arms and returning to the soul completely ruined the calm, introspective, scrutiny, and desperate quixotic sublime atmosphere of the entire film, and it brought thousands of The unpretentiousness built with countless silent details is ruined. You know, the difference between idealism and middle school is here. I would rather believe that this was not the director's original intention, but he accepted and even repeatedly showed this tolerance for compromise.
What I saw at 60fps was a kind of "slow motion in regular time". I probably don't think it's a reality, it's a more subtle "drama". Technology has conquered me in another way, and this is the future.
Heart-wrenching moments:
When Lynn said to the cheerleading girls, "Almost a moment, I'll take you away", the girl suddenly calmed down and couldn't believe it.
Xiao K sat on the bed, pinching his knees unconsciously.
The puddle of blood from the rifle hitting the Iraqi soldiers.
And every time I hear the American national anthem, that utopian electric dream.

    Ang Lee made a 180-degree reversal of the image of the masked soldier in the eyes of others, and the audience saw a full three-dimensional living Billy Lynn. What he thinks and thinks in one day reflects the growth of a boy, Li An can really see through a person, and by the way, reflects the contradictions and dilemmas of society and human beings with a small and broad. A movie that really writes people, who said the story was not told well? [A-]

    Whee. Then let me say a few more words, Li An has been obsessed with technology for these years, and has pushed forward its development like a demon. This innovative spirit is indeed to be admitted, but his expression is really backwards. This problem has already been exposed. This time the creation is quite conservative, and it is impossible to directly hit the heart like he used to, which is actually quite separate from its technology. As far as the matter is concerned, if it hadn't been filmed by Ang Lee, I might have given it one more star.
