Ang Lee is one of the few directors who can travel between Eastern and Western cultures with ease. He can delicately interpret the feelings shared by people from different cultures and resonate with the audience. He is truly transcending countries and transcending Cultural film masters.
So at first I didn't understand why Uncle An used 120 frames as a gimmick for the promotion of the new film. A director who is good at grasping the emotions of characters takes technological breakthroughs as a selling point, which is really incomprehensible. Most of the viewers who paid a high price to watch the 120-frame version thought they would see a blockbuster with a grand scene and an intense plot; Why would I pay a high price to watch such a literary and artistic film that explores life and thinks about value? ! As I watched it for the first time, the young couple sitting behind me said, "What kind of bi shit is this filming?!"
I watched this movie twice. The first time was in Hengdian, not far from home, 24 frames of 3D, plus me, a total of 4 people watched the movie, and then the couple who watched the back gave the above evaluation. The second time I went to Wanda, it opened at 12:30 noon, 60 frames, and I was the only one in the entire theater, which was really worth the price. Most people go to the cinema to have a happy and relaxed experience. After all, life is already heavy enough, so why not spend money to find it? Uncle An is really a man of temperament. He burns money to shoot literary films with 120 frames.
Seeing this, I also understand why 120 frames are being promoted. After all, many people go to the cinema just for the audition experience.
24 frames, 60 frames, 120 frames. Technology is only the carrier of the director's emotion. A clearer look and feel allows the audience to feel the emotional changes of the characters more intuitively, and feel the strong contrast between the brutality of the war and the absurdity of the performance, so as to experience the psychological conflicts of the characters more immersive. Of course, the excellent visual experience also brings fans closer to the characters. During the viewing, I wanted to reach out and touch Billy's golden short-haired woolen 2333 more than once~ Maybe the next technological breakthrough in the film can also take into account the sense of touch (wretched) smile~).
What is shown in the film is American society today. Soldiers invaded other countries for the ambition and greed of politicians, paying the price of blood and life, but the people continued to live a life of numbness and indifference. No one really cares about what you have suffered. The one who should watch the game is still watching the game, and the one who should make money is thinking about how to make more money. Businessmen wonder how to extract more value from these soldiers, cheerleaders can't wait to dedicate themselves to the heroes, and players ask about the effects of various firearms on people. In the film, Billy tells his sister about the experience on the plane: the cooks made a lot of money in Baghdad, invited them to drink and smoke cigars, and the body of the mushroom lay behind them.
not worth.
Fight for whom? Is it worth what happened to me and my dear brothers for the sake of these scumbags? Mushrooms have so many philosophical thoughts, but they are easily killed; the enemy who died under my knife is like a fish that has lost its water. What did he say at the end, will he see their God? Can the man who was taken away by us in front of his family go back to his relatives? What is all this for? Is it really worth it?
The elder sister played by Xiao K is like an annotation of the whole film, telling what Uncle An wants to say. Fighting for justice is understandable, but plundering and trampling other countries for oil, and dying as a little virgin, is really worthless.
It's really too rare for Billy's little short hair, I really want to lick it~
For fear that everyone could not understand, Xiao Hei broke the climax of the whole film with one sentence. The team owner wanted to buy the story of the soldiers at a low price, trying to use Billy to persuade everyone. He said to Billy, "This is your only chance. It's not much money, but it's better than nothing, isn't it?" Billy rejected him mercilessly. "Sometimes it's better not to have a little bit." Our comrade-in-arms friendship, our experience, can't be sold at such a low price. Only then did I know for certain that Billy would definitely go back.
Mushroom Billy said that if you were destined to die, the shot would have been fired long ago. Everyone's fate is like a bullet that is unloaded, and it cannot be repeated. After all this, Billy finally chose to face his own destiny calmly, stepping on the trembling guitar solo, he walked towards the chariot of his brothers. Although the battlefield is cruel, the friendship of his comrades makes Billy feel extremely real. Compared with the gorgeous but absurd normal society, let's go back to the battlefield, go back to our home, go back to the place we belong.
