The fiasco of violent aesthetics

The investment of nearly 200 million U.S. dollars caused the company to go bankrupt. Isn't this the US version of "A Fei Zheng Chuan"?

To tell the truth, I may have a stereotype of Wu Yusen. I didn't think this movie was very good. Especially after watching war movies like Schindler's List and The Pianist, it should be considered qualified at best! Maybe I don’t understand Director Wu’s ambition! And deliberately beautifying the individual heroes on the battlefield, a bit... I rarely watch war movies and want to doze off.

But of course there are wonderful things not to be missed. The part of pretending to be Japanese and going to the enemy camp to find the radio is passionate! Although it's more like a gunfight movie. At this time, the episode "The True Colors of a Hero" is perfect.

Gunfight = war film, this concept is not very good, maybe this is the reason why I don't like this movie too much!

What is even more impressive is the scene where the Pyro gave chocolates to a Japanese little girl captive. Not everyone is a beast. It is not the best war film, but it is definitely worth watching.

    Cage always seems to be a type of Hollywood men: bald head, drunken eyes from time to time scorching light; on the one hand is sinking, decadent, confused, spiritually different in life; on the other side is superior skill, wisdom and courage Zall, invincible. Whether it is a liar or a soldier, he represents a tendency of men: the beauty of decadence.

    The war is cruel, there are a lot of explosion scenes, the plot is a bit unreasonable, it seems that a group of JAPS are standing up and not hitting you, I don’t understand why it is Cage Zephyr and the Whisperer who determine the coordinates of the enemy and let the plane or artillery come. Bombing // Saving Private Ryan is more brutal, and the plot makes more sense.

  • Private Ben Yahzee: Radio Man:

    [to Private Ben Yahzee]

    Private Ben Yahzee: Remember Marine, ours is not to question why, ours is but to do or die. Semper Fi. Over

  • Major Mellitz: [Showing a series of photographs] Take a look. It's a Navajo... or was. Tortured to death by Japanese intelligence trying to bust our code. Fortunately, couldn't help them even if he wanted to.

    Joe Enders: Sir?

    Major Mellitz: Man's a Navajo, not a Code Talker. Code's based on their language, but it is still a code. Tojo'd like nothing more than to catch a live one.
