2. During the performance, fireworks erupted, and the soldiers fell down reflexively.
3. Lynn saluted while listening to the national anthem and shed tears, fantasizing about the girl in her head.
4. The stage director told Lynn about the task of moving at an extremely fast speed. Lynn obediently completed the task without any bad marks, but he was still in deep depression 20 minutes after the performance.
5. Those who were waiting in the parking lot for revenge knocked the soldiers to the ground.
The relationship between war and people's hearts is too complicated. Ang Lee's greatness lies in intertwining it, using details as well as emotions. His way of speaking is a little humble, a little warm, and unassuming, but he uses the gentlest brushstrokes to pierce the viewer's heart without mercy. Because its cruelty is merciless. Nothing is fair.
Is it brave or cowardly to return to the battlefield? In fact, we should never judge someone who has an experience that we don't have. We should not judge anyone.
Not only did he think of the college classmate whose brother died in Iraq, but when his brother came back from a vacation during his military service, he made a short film for him as his graduation assignment, and proudly said that he must make a feature film for him. But the brothers did not wait for that day. His name is Chris, and Ang Lee is one of his favorite directors. But this time, I don't want him to see the movie.
The entire film is very realistic except for Steve Martin's character who is a little too face-to-face. Lynn's performance is perfect, with a simple and sunny smile, calm and stubborn when not smiling, with the confusion of young people, and the firmness of being a warrior. He may be just one of thousands of ordinary soldiers, but it is his unique character that creates a unique "protagonist".
