The last time I watched it was in college. At that time, I mainly watched the pictures and thought it was very cool. In addition, the anti-war theme was stirred up, and I felt very moved. Now the second brush, the picture is still wonderful, but I see a lot of problems in other aspects, and I don't feel unhappy.
Praise first.
First of all, he contributed to the film industry and promoted the "hand-held bombing" of war films. He added a lot of blasting and stump flying through the hand-held lens to achieve a shocking battlefield effect. Later, some high-cost war films such as "Assembly" were specially designed. I asked the team of this film to do special effects. Although I have seen it a lot, there are some routines, but it is refreshing compared to the old fireballs where a single shot is a petrol bomb, and the soil hammer method where a bullet hits a tree and sparks scatter. In addition, I feel that the props are also more attentive, and I don't pay much attention to other things, mainly because the North Korean army uses the Soviet Army's Bobosha and Mosin Nagan, which is more realistic.
Then, in terms of meaning, the righteousness of the family and the country is always placed in the secondary position, and even the position of being criticized as an excuse for evil deeds, while the main theme is always human nature and family affection. The bottom line of war films is anti-war, which is more than a country has always praised How strong is the film and television work of the war, of course, it may be the pot of censorship.
Below is the rant.
Although the war scenes are filmed with a sense of presence, the logic of the war scenes is a little tricky.
First of all, in order to advance the plot at a fast pace, the battle is always one-sided. If you win, it will be like a broken bamboo, and you will advance vigorously. If you lose, it will collapse like scattered sand and shit. Although the early days of the Korean War did push and shove quickly, it was still a bit stiff.
The second is the super-strong characters of the protagonists and brothers. The elder brother is a shoe repairer and has not undergone any military training. After a few months of fighting, he became an old A. In the second street battle, he took the head of an admiral out of a million troops. of. The younger brother is not a cover. He began to say that he had a heart attack. After a few battles, he was fine. In the last battle, he walked around the battlefield unscathed by bullets, and while fighting with the enemy with bayonets, he went to the side. Looking for my brother.
Then two fights felt a bit problematic. One is the rout after being shelled. In this case, the prisoners of war can take advantage of others not to pay attention and find an opportunity to slip away. Why do they want to hijack soldiers to attract attention and cause confrontation? It doesn't make sense, but it can only be understood that it was created to force the conflict between brothers. The second is the last battle. Air strikes, artillery strikes, and tanks advance. The enemy has no resistance. So you can't fight like this earlier. Why did you drag your brother to look for him? Very deliberate. Then the "big flag troops" rushed over and began to rout, isn't that the big sword team? At this time, their machine guns and tanks did not know where they went.
In addition, when it comes to bombing the earth, this trick is too much. The result is all kinds of enemy artillery bombardment. When the war starts, it bombs trenches and bombs the headquarters. What kind of crowd tactical charge.
Then there's the question of character motivation and growth. For the brother's part, in the first battle, because he was besieged and had no way out, he had to fight for his life. The protagonist fought this battle was established, but after victory, it stands to reason that he should find an opportunity to escape as soon as possible, or use a press conference. He complained about what happened to him, but he actually lost his memory. He continued to fight with peace of mind. This part was handled vaguely. In order to form a confrontation with the elder brother, the younger brother is portrayed as an idealist, sympathetic to the world, and even a middle school. This mental state seems very bloody. It is said that in this kind of war, he is either used to seeing flesh and blood flying, and has become numb to death. , or have a nervous breakdown. In fact, to show the devastation of the war on people, if it is to make the younger brother gradually become numb from blood, this comparison should be more realistic, and it can also make the criticism more weighty.
So I say that it is essentially a family soap opera in war skin. Don’t you feel familiar with this kind of story: a family crisis, the elder brother endures humiliation and heavy work to do dirty work, the younger brother is innocent and stubborn, and then the contradiction deepens, and finally turns against each other. , The younger brother suddenly grows up and understands the difficulties of the older brother, a memory and a sensational reunion. It is also a feature of soap operas: sensationalism is very rhythmic, the first ten minutes are high-density happy scenes, all kinds of laughter, because there must be enough scenes to recall later, and then on the battlefield, I will continue to look for opportunities before advance. What is the life of the man who hides in the trenches and suddenly thinks of ice cream, suddenly meets the neighbors and starts to reminisce, and finally reads the letter and flashes back to push his emotions to a climax, and the means are a bit superficial.
Finally, in terms of criticism, although there is a lot of criticism for oneself, it is very valuable, but the portrayal of the enemy is basically a facial expression. Among the enemies, except for the buddy who looks like a bean cake in their neighborhood, who is a good person, everyone else is treacherous and vicious. The lackeys of the Communist Party, this is far from the "bowl of water level" in the "Common Security Zone".
