film has developed to the point where it is today, and it is impossible to be completely innovative. For example, the film that first made me think of "Escorting Chance", two people dressed in The "messenger" in the uniform brought news of the soldier's death to his family. However, compared to the deliberately everywhere in "Guardian", the opening of the film is still relatively relaxed, and the emotional focus is also placed on the "messenger" rather than the reactions of the surrounding people.
As the notification process is repeated again and again, I feel that this film is a bit like "The Encouragement". Onlookers have witnessed the pain of bereavement time and time again, and the suffering is mixed with emotion and understanding. Two of the notices left a deep impression on me. One was when the father hugged his daughter in a rage, and the other was when the old couple was crying in the store. When attending a friend’s funeral in the past, I seldom went to the farewell ceremony. The heart-piercing feeling was unbearable on the screen, let alone the scene. But movies are movies after all, and drama conflicts are still very important. Just thinking about what kind of notification scenes the movie will show us, the content of the movie has undergone a big change.
This time it looks like "Brothers", except that the actor and the widow’s husband are not brothers. Animals like humans are very weird. When they are hit in one place, they will always turn to the other side as quickly as possible. Regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, they hope to find a home for emotional support as soon as possible. This is not rational from a bystander's point of view, but it will make you feel normal from a psychological point of view. Fortunately, the widow is still sensible and decided to play with the actor for a long time. Maybe this will result in better results.
After all, in terms of plot and structure, there is no major breakthrough in this film, but from the perspective of the actor, Ben Foster, who made his debut but has a bad star chart, finally became the leading actor. He likes his fresh temperament very much, and this buddy can both Acting as the perverted criminal in "The Line of Fire" and being able to act as an angel-like mutant in "X-Men 3" should be very malleable. Listening to his story at the end of "The Courier", it is hard not to be moved. . Of course, Woody Harrison was the most emotional, crying into tears while biting the big bread, showing his excellent explosiveness and expressiveness. In fact, his performance in "2012" is quite good, and this year's Oscar supporting actor nomination is determined to recognize the old faces who have worked hard on the screen for many years, so he and Stanley Tucci have finally been affirmed. Congratulations!
From "Decisive Battle of Ela Valley" to "Pot Head", to this year's "Killing with Eyes", "The Hurt Locker", "Brothers" and "The Courier", American films' reflections on the war in Iraq have gone from probing to breaking out. stage. There are so many angles and quick response, which is amazing. Although some films are vulgar in form, the connotation basically maintains Hollywood's consistent anti-war stance. As for the so-called "conscription advertisement" or "main theme" conjecture, it is only because we have seen too many stories of "advancing for the new China" and "fire at me".
