Oh, wrong, it's PTSD to find out!
PTSD, or Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder, translates to Chinese as "Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome", and it is also translated as "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder". The most common one is "Post-War Mental Syndrome." Refers to the sequelae caused by a person's mental state disorder after encountering or fighting a major stress. For those who have participated in wars, many people are often trapped in the battlefield and cannot get out.
If it's hard to understand literally, the following pictures can explain PTSD vividly.
The above photos show PTSD vividly. Several soldiers have returned to their hometowns away from the battlefield, but from time to time they think that they are still on the battlefield, and once again bear the high mental stress under the war. This pressure is repeated again and again. Even the sufferer was on the verge of a mental breakdown, showing post-war psychological syndrome.
PTSD does not only include post-war psychological syndromes. In fact, people who have experienced disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis often also have such psychological symptoms. Women who have been raped are often physically and mentally devastated and easily fall into PTSD. In the quagmire. Aside from extreme conditions, for many students, the college entrance examination can sometimes cause a slight degree of PTSD. As a person who participated in the college entrance examination three times, I have often returned to the atmosphere of the college entrance examination in my dreams. Ma Yun and Yu Minhong have also taken the college entrance examination three times. I wonder if they also have this kind of psychology? Anyway, the college entrance examination really left a deep psychological shadow on me, really!
Get back to the post-war psychological comprehensive card. The torture and devastation of war on people, in fact, there have been a lot of movies in the history of movies. Classics such as "Apocalypse Now", "Thin Red Line", and "First Drop of Blood" have very vivid depictions. In the past two years, films such as "Billy Lynn's Intermission" and "American Sniper" have also been portrayed.
"Although you have returned to the United States with your body, your soul and heart are still there, the broken battlefield-American sniper"
"Originally the battlefield was particularly dangerous, but when I returned to my daily life, I felt safer in the battlefield. ---Billy Lynn's midfield battle"
These two lines show that feeling very accurately.
PDST occupies a very important part of the story told by "War Dog Rex". In fact, the English name of this film is "Megan Leavey", which is the name of the heroine in the film. Taking the protagonist’s name as the name of the movie is obviously a biographical film, but when it came to the Chinese name, it was changed to "War Dog Rex". The title became the name of a dog in the film. A very thief approach, probably because the distributors feel that Chinese people are relatively interested in dog-type movies, after all, like "The Mission of a Dog" has ushered in a big explosion in China.
Naming this movie after a dog is problematic in terms of perspective. "War Dog Rex" is not like "War Horse". The latter takes the horse’s perspective as the first point of view. When the horse walks there, the story takes place there, while "War Dog Rex" serves as a battle Dog, the intersection between it and the heroine Megan Levy on the battlefield is not great. Since childhood, Rex was not raised by Megan Levy, but was handed over to Megan when his former owner was unable to control it. After that, they went to the Iraqi battlefield to fight together. After that, Megan retired, and Rex continued to serve in the army and went to war in Iraq again. In the end, after Rex retired, he was finally adopted by Megan again until he died of old age. Moreover, as a war dog, Rex's character has not been fully explored. It's just a little timid, and has established meritorious service in the army, but it hasn't surpassed too much compared with other war dogs.
From the perspective of Megan Levy, the whole story makes sense. She joined the army as a problem girl, but after arriving in the army, she still did not constrain. After being drunk, she urinated outside the office of her boss who is known for being severe. For this, she was punished and sent to the war dog camp to clean the dog toilet. As a result, she was able to get in touch with the war dogs and got to know the German shepherd Rex. Rex is timid by nature and resists people. When its former owner took him to check, he was accidentally bitten by Rex, and Megan received the opportunity to train Rex as a substitute. In this process, Megan Levy gradually matured, not only became a qualified soldier, but also performed well. In the end, he successfully tamed Rex and went to the frontline battlefield in Iraq to participate in the mission of removing the bomb.
Megan and Ricks fulfilled their mission, dismantled many bombs and saved many people. But when they were also working on the road, they were ambushed. Megan and Rex were both blown up by bombs, and both were injured. Megan, who was diagnosed and treated, was allowed to retire, but Ricks was diagnosed by a prejudiced veterinarian that he could not be adopted, and he wanted to continue to serve on the front line.
Megan, who returned home, suffered from severe PTSD and was unable to extricate himself from the memory of being on the battlefield. It was difficult to integrate into society again, and the relationship with her mother was also very tense. Science also shows that compared with men, women are more likely to suffer from PTSD, and the degree of damage is deeper than that of men. For Megan, the only way to save her is for her to adopt Ricks. But not only humans can suffer from PTSD, but dogs can also suffer from it. Those in the adoption class understand that those dogs who are abandoned by their owners will often suffer a lot of psychological damage. Compared with ordinary dogs, there will be some abnormalities, and it will take quite a while to recover. The reason why dogs suffering from PTSD are not allowed to adopt is that there are cases showing that these dogs tend to be aggressive, especially when someone suddenly sets off firecrackers next to him, etc., the sound of firecrackers suddenly reminds the dog. The dog instantly returned to the battlefield, thinking that the person setting off the firecrackers was shooting at it, so he would rush to bite.
The timid Rex already showed obvious symptoms of PTSD, so the veterinarian stated on his case that he could not be adopted. But for Megan, being able to live with Rex will be the best comfort for both parties. So, she went to the street to collect signatures in order to change Rex's endorsement. She also sought help from relevant officials and tried her best to adopt Rex. Finally, her behavior touched the people involved, and Rex was adopted by her. And because of Megan's efforts on the way to adopt Ricks, they once again became national heroes.
In fact, this film is pretty ugly, the story is like a running account, there is no big ups and downs, it is as pale as water. Moreover, Kate Mara’s performance also gives people a mediocre impression. In terms of acting skills, Kate Mara is far less dazzling than her sister Rooney Mara. Moreover, in terms of depth, this film is not deep enough for the portrayal of PTSD, and it's just like a dragonfly. Originally, it wanted to talk about how a strong woman became a strong woman through the training of the army and war, and finally fell into the quagmire of PTSD, and finally came out through her own efforts. The film was adapted from Megan. Levy's autobiography, the book seems to have twists and turns, but when the capacity is not enough, the twists and turns cannot be shown when the film is adapted into a film. It can only be a formality. However, this film plays an important role with the little handsome villain "Malfoy" (Tom Felton) who always opposes Harry Potter. In the image, Felton has completed the transformation. I hope he can completely Get out of Malfoy's shadow.
Relatively speaking, "Thank you for your service" starring Miles Teller is more focused, and the whole film intensively describes the physical and mental destruction of soldiers by PTSD.
The title of the film is "Thank you for serving", which is actually a kind of irony, because the three soldiers in the film who returned from the Iraqi battlefield were not thanked in reality, or even received the recognition they deserve, nor did they get it. grateful. The ending of three friends, one was abandoned by his girlfriend and committed suicide with a gun, the other failed to ask for compensation, the other was guilty of the dead comrades, three people, all alive, no ghosts, no ghosts, and PTSD. Seriously devastated.
This film reveals an important problem, that is, the welfare of the veterans in the United States is too poor. In the early years, there has been "Brave to Alcatraz" to reveal this problem. The general played by Ed Harris is also a classic tragic image in film history. As a result, the welfare problems of veterans in the past few years are still very unbearable. Soldiers live in isolation on the front line, trading their lives in exchange for a reduction in domestic terrorist attacks. As a result, they return to the country but fail to get the recognition they deserve, and they can’t even get what they should have. Feeling desperate. Therefore, this is a very depressing film. There is not much to say about the plot. It depends on acting to support it.
After experiencing the tempering of "Burst Drummer", Myers Teller's acting skills have grown rapidly. Although there are super bad movies such as "Fantastic Four 2015", he immediately finished it in "Blood in the War" and "The Arms Dealer". After turning over, he has a very good performance. In this "Thank you for your service", he also contributed vivid acting skills. It seems that the characters are a bit dull, but this coincides with the symptoms of PTSD, and the degree of role matching is greatly improved. It looks more authentic and credible.
However, both "War Dog Rex" and "Thank you for your service" talk about PTSD, but they have one thing in common, and it is fatal in common, that is, the description of war is too low and the causality is too weak. In "War Dog Rex", there is only a small battle in which the road is demined and ambushed. In "Thank you for your service", it is also a street ambush. A team is ambushed on the way to fight for the commanding heights. , The soldiers on the chariot went down to a building and fought with terrorists on the top of the building. The specific details of the war were the sniper wars on the top of the building. The result of the two very small battles is that, in the audience's eyes, these two battles are not too fierce, and they were forced to happen, not the kind of head-on battle. However, the focus of the story is the post-war PTSD, which makes people feel a little embarrassed and too hypocritical. It gives people the feeling that just such a thing, a seemingly weak cause has led to a very strong result, then a little fight, it is PTSD, is it really guilty? This mentality is too fragile.
To explain it with the utmost kindness, probably neither crew had much budget, so they had to reduce the scale of the war, and then it became like this. But in this case, for ordinary audiences, it is hypocritical. On this scale, he was too fragile to make himself ill, and he was really not enough! Really American bitch, bitch is hypocritical. According to Gaoli, once such Americans lose their technological strength, they will be vulnerable to war.
However, no matter how small the scale of the war is, it is also a war, and the psychological coercion on the combatants is still not small. To talk about the cruelty of war, even a very small local war can severely distort the physical and mental devastation of soldiers participating in it. Another classic local war film "Wall of Life and Death" is very It is worth paying attention to. This film, directed by Doug Liman, the director of "The Bourne," turned the battle of Iraq into a war between two people. The story is gathered in a game between two snipers. It looks a bit similar to "Soldiers Under the City", but the layout is smaller. The whole story takes place behind a wall. But even so, the cruelty of the war and the fear it brings to people are still overwhelming.
"Wall of Life and Death" doesn't talk about PTSD, it just lays out the cruelty of war. Watching this film can be compared with "War Dog Rex" and "Thank you for your service". In fact, "Wall of Life and Death" can be used to replace the war process of the first two. In this way, why they would suffer from PTSD? It will be clearer and clearer.
"Wall of Life and Death" tells the story of a US sniper team who, after thinking that it had completed its mission, was planning to withdraw, but it ended up being caught under the guns of Iraqi snipers. The main sniper "John Cena" was shot and fell to the ground, while the observer "Aaron Taylor-Johnson" rolled down and hit a low wall, and the story unfolded.
It is said to be a war film, but it is actually a film in a confined space like "Buried Alive." The entire war is highly concentrated behind a wall. The enemy sniper was always waiting for his dedication and burst his head. Between survival and anti-observation, "Aaron Taylor-Johnson" was trapped in the abyss of fate, hungry, exposed to the sun, windy, cold, hungry. The wolf has become a trivial matter, and the life-and-death confrontation is truly intriguing. What's more, he doesn't even know where his opponent is. In this cat-and-mouse game, the seemingly powerful American warrior has become weak. The mouse, the Iraqi sniper has become a cat waiting for it.
The most interesting thing is to condense the war with the confined space, which makes this war film look unique. As a movie supported by a single performance, its flaws are the same as other confined space movies with one person of the same kind. If you want to sustain a movie completely, there will always be some boring fragments, and sometimes it will not be able to cope with the story. , It seems a bit scattered, it is a bit difficult to be full and compact all the time. But the flaws do not conceal the advantages, this film is still very worth seeing for military fans.
In the end, the ending of the film is also very tragic. "Aaron Taylor-Johnson" was finally rescued and his own helicopter rescued him. He looked at the place where the suspected sniper was hiding, with a complicated expression and unwillingness. If he went back like this, he would probably also suffer from PTSD, but the movie did not give such an ending. Instead, the entire helicopter was hit by a sniper, the plane crashed, and there was no survivor. I persisted in the entire movie, but eventually lost my life, and also took the lives of more comrades-in-arms. This setting is quite shocking. This is probably the ending that only Hollywood can give.
Three films, three styles, I put them together and wrote this together, which is considered lazy.
