But this movie is still worth watching, especially for military fans.
The reason is simple: it is too real! A group of British soldiers equipped with state-of-the-art weapons were smashed into flesh and limbs, and even if they called for air support, it was useless. They were blown up again by the great spirit. The opponent is so powerful! But, pay attention, the opponent is neither the elite Taliban troops nor the people's war sea where the Afghan army and civilians are united as one person. What makes them helpless and desperate is just a few small landmines in a small valley that do not know where they are buried! that is it!
Ridiculous? If you watch a movie, you will know it, it's not ridiculous at all! The heavily armed soldiers looked so fragile and helpless in front of a few landmines. Every movement may mean being bombed into the sky. And this is the real war, the situation of real people in the war-yes, as a living person, we are all vulnerable and helpless in the war. The anti-war theme of the film is to stand bloody in the eyes of every audience in an irrefutable manner through the faithful description and complete reproduction of such a real event.
Of course, from another perspective, this movie also saw this group of soldiers. We sympathize with them, but we will never despise their vulnerability and helplessness in the face of landmines; on the contrary, we empathize with their pain, and we respect their guarding each other in difficult situations, because We know that if we encounter the same situation, we cannot be more courageous, more optimistic, and more caring than them. why? Because of the truth, we truly feel the incomparable danger of their environment, and we can naturally realize that their every move is so precious. Their weeping, their wailing, and their cursing completely harm their image, not only harmless, but the true emotional catharsis of these flesh and blood people can only make us more aware of their difficulty. After all, it really touched us.
When I watched this movie, the images that kept flashing in my mind were not the soldier Ryan, but several completely different scenes: Qiu Shaoyun in the fire, Huang Jiguang blocking the gun's eye, and even Lei Feng in the bed with a flashlight. These scenes have been remembered by repeated education since I was a child, but when I mention them today, I am a little bit dumbfounded, because even if I try my best to maintain these images, the rhetoric has become: these heroes are valuable, and they are worth learning. The spirit should not be too entangled in whether the details are true or not, and insisting on whether it is in line with science belongs to "historical nihilism." Woohoo, it was "Nothingness" who wanted to explore the real situation at that time, but sloppy about what happened was more real? What kind of logic is this?
Regardless of ideology, how can the common sense taught in the kindergarten that “lie is wrong” so many adults completely ignore it? Regardless of how Huang Jiguang and Qiu Shaoyun died, a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for his beliefs must be a bit higher in personal quality and realm than the cynicism who can make do with it. If there is someone behind them for this or that purpose Impose some things on them that don't belong to them. Given their realm, I'm afraid I won't be happy if I have knowledge in Quanxia, right? To put it bluntly, the people who made up the story are not so much to make the image of the dead bigger, but more for their own selfishness-"Everyone is learning a little bit. You see these heroes so dedicated, you have to do more for me. Give some". On the other hand, those who really want to strip off the unreal things that were imposed on the deceased today are not for the deceased itself, but for those who use these stories for their own benefit. From this perspective, removing the unreal things is the love for the deceased.
Going back to this movie, the photo of each character prototype and their true destination are shown at the end. The background sound is the recording of wireless communication that year, and the purpose is to restore the truth. Perhaps their deeds did not block the eye-catching and flame-burning legend, but their stories can be told longer, and there is no need to worry about being laughed at, because truth is the most powerful. Although this is just common sense, it is clear that, like many other common senses, the common sense of true power is far from popularization...
