A little bit of American blockbuster experience

It seems that we are very afraid of other people's input of values, so we have also worked hard to shoot some themes, and distributed the tickets for everyone to see, so that everyone feels that the box office does not lose at all.

I have watched a lot of American blockbusters, and this one feels a special theme. Unlike Private Ryan or Brothers Company, the production of this movie is at a second-rate level, but it completely exposes American values.

Watching this film with limited knowledge of war, the characters in it are not full enough, but each has flesh and blood. Although the protagonist has good marksmanship, his spirit is almost collapsed. The temporary team includes rough, cunning, and arrogant. Tired British guy. From this point of view, people should also set up characters in a balanced way and highlight the protagonist’s tall image. Finally, isn't the protagonist bravely leaving the chance of life to others?

People's attitude towards Germans is obviously more rational. It doesn't mean that if you win, you win everything. The captured German turned around to help the Allies, obviously a glorious flash of humanity. However, the main theme is still the main theme. The comparison of the treatment of prisoners of war between Germany and the United States highlights the humanity of the US military.

Textual research on the original story of the film may be more boring than the film, and there is not a lot of brilliance. The war itself, especially the local and subtle areas, should be so plain for one or several fighters. Little soldier, only a little vision in front of him, without the grandeur of the general. Therefore, the main theme is to look at the overall situation from a small point of view, to show that the Allies are not afraid of sacrifices, to let the audience use their brains, and make the audience think that the director respects the audience's IQ and is a good director.

Finally, there are no women in this film! If the French mother and daughter had to be included, at least they did not give them a chance to express their feelings. They just sent bread out of thanks, what a lovely people. In any war movie, if there are one or two women with thin powder or heavy makeup, I think it is a blasphemy of the war itself. The heroine should also be full of cannon fodder. She can talk about feelings but not where the cannonballs fly.

Watching TV shows is disrespectful to history. It is better to read history books and imagine for yourself. If imagination is to be forcibly occupied by others, what is the use of being alive.

    1/ It seems that war is the best environment for digging humanity. 2/ Domestic Feng Xiaonings seem to have never made a similar movie. For example, during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, what was the mental state of the brothers/father and son. 3/ The truth is often the most dramatic. 4/ The US military is too benevolent and too fragile. 5/ Human nature knows no borders.
