However, it is a pity that the shooting became scum.
At first, I thought it was "Pearl Harbor", then it was "Little Boy", and then I absolutely thought it was "Fantasy Drifting of Juvenile Pie", and finally I felt it should be "Felony of the First Degree" or "A Few Good People".
However, the first part is dangerous but not dangerous, the second part is dangerous but not dangerous, the third part is dangerous and dangerous, and the fourth part is not dangerous.
On the whole, the director just told the story plainly, which is definitely not enough as a movie.
From the main characters, the movie began to impress the good brothers and sailors. One is a master dancer and the other is dumb and honest. They all want to make a girl. Obviously, pretty girls like handsome guys with superb dance skills. Brother is like an electric light bulb, hanging on the side in silence. This kind of matching routine, don't need to think too much, that is, the handsome guy is going to have an accident, and the young man will take over. In the end, the beauty will return. It is the young man.
Next, it's Captain Nicholas Cage! His play, the more important it goes to the back, the more cups it goes to the back.
Therefore, the main character jumped from two brothers and a beautiful girl to a big man, and also brought a Japanese opponent.
From the perspective of the plot structure, it is a straightforward narrative, chronologically telling the story of the warship's attack, delivery, sinking, as well as the drifting, being rescued, the captain being interrogated, and the suicide process of the warship. There is not much screenwriting skills at all.
It’s not difficult to see that the screenwriter and director of this film are lazy and terrible. I won’t say much about the special effects. It is estimated that the model of the great white shark was obtained in a large swimming pool and dangling in the water. The warship that was bombed was of course also a model. The technique even borrowed from "Titanic", and the shooting angles, shots, and actions were similar.
Suppose, if I were to make this movie, there are at least the following methods to make the movie look better.
One is that Captain Nicholas Cage is the main character. He is troubled and prepared to commit suicide. He picked up the gun, put it down, and then flashed back to the warship. The whole story is completed through repeated memories of the captain. At the end, he loaded the bullet, dressed neatly, picked up the gun, with tears in his eyes, took a close-up shot, and then slowly closed his eyes, dark scenes.
The second is to use those good brothers as absolute pig's feet. At first, you can write that the children of Han Ge and Jing Mei have grown up. Only then did the parents tell him that your father is a master dance forest, and then flash back to the two sailors. At that time making pretty girls. Of course, the whole story is also shown one by one in the repeated memories of Han Ge and Liang Mei. In the end, Han Ge and Liang Mei can take their son to the handsome man’s cemetery. Of course, they also saw the captain’s cemetery by the way.
The third is from the beginning that the Americans have successfully developed an atomic bomb and are preparing to drop it on Japan. They want to send a ship to secretly transport the relevant parts and equipment to the Philippine Islands. At this time, the Indianapolis is being repaired. , The captain did not expect to accept such a task. He refused at first, because this warship was attacked by the Japanese not long ago, and he recovered from the serious illness, and the panic was still there. But in the end, national interests were paramount, and he accepted this secret mission. If this is the case, the film title changed to "Secret Mission" may also have more commercial value. This could also be involved in the subsequent trial of the captain, but for some reasons he was unable to explain clearly and was not able to get everyone’s understanding to connect to let the audience know that he was " Victims of "Secret Mission".
By the way, the last captain of this film met with the Japanese captain, and the dialogue on the reflection of the war together seemed very attentive and profound on the surface, but it was actually a routine, and it did not necessarily conform to the historical truth. It should be noted that the Japanese do not take killing enemies seriously, and they rarely go back and reflect on it. This kind of reflection was definitely hard to have at the time. If you need to take a picture, it would be better to take a picture of the Japanese captain’s reaction when he learned the news after the captain committed suicide. At this time, the gray-haired Japanese soldiers can come to Hiroshima’s atomic bomb. Before the explosion site, I took out a suicide report with a picture of the captain, and sighed and said: "You have all gone to the same heaven." I
look forward to a good director who can take this good story again in the future.
