The cast and crew in the opening show that the long black background and white characters and music introduce people into the world of film. The first shot through the tunnel strengthens the construction of the image world. In the first few minutes, the characters appeared and concentrated quickly, initially showing the character's identity and relationship, but they were not very friendly to the audience, and the information density was too high and the rhythm was too fast, which did not fit the tone of the whole film.
The length of the whole film is longer and the rhythm is slow. You can see the ambition of the director of the epic masterpiece, but the structure is a little deliberate, some of the clips have more skills and lack of connotation and emotion. Especially in the wedding section, the panoramic shots are magnificent and beautiful, including the chorus, which is also quite shocking, and the multi-person scheduling also shows the director's skill. However, the relationship between some characters is vague, and only the connection is expressed in audio-visual language without too much explanation. The triangular relationship of Mike. Linda. Nick is confusing, the historical explanation is not clear, and the character's psychological portrayal is insufficient. Mike's attitude towards Linda after his return is dim, which makes it difficult for the audience to feel emotionally moved. The logic of character behavior is a bit confused, and Mike, who was originally positioned by the leader, did not have enough explanation for his abnormal behavior during his first hunt. On the contrary, the character of the main character that I focus on portrays is not as clear as the supporting role. The complexity and contradiction that I want to express is not justified, and it seems to be profound. Some female characters are too facial and functional, with fewer lines, and inadequate display of psychology and personality, such as Steven's mother and Angela.
Part of the details that indicate the development of the plot are too deliberate, such as the overflow of wine at the wedding, and Nick's request that he must be taken home. The design is excessive and natural is insufficient.
The Russian roulette game is used too much. Although these passages can really control the audience's emotions, too much can cause boredom, and the symbolic metaphor is too strong and the implantation is not natural. There are many coincidence designs, and the presentation of the Vietnamese is too single, which weakens the documentary of the story.
The audio-visual language is very good, the use of long shots is very brilliant, but some of the use is suspected of dazzling skills. Before leaving, the piano performance of each person is in a pensive state. The effect of predicting bad luck is not good, and it does not show personality and relationship. , So that the characters are not vivid enough.
In the end, the sense of form in the clip to save Nick weakened the character's emotion and sense of three-dimensionality, and the behavior was slightly illogical. A veteran actually shook a person who had been shot and bleeding. The mistake was too low-level.
Maybe the Vietnam War movies are not my food. The whole journey is in the cloud, except for the audiovisual language which is really good, the other parts are very confused.
