Most of these questions that are ignored because of habituality come from the mouths of children or from metaphysical questions of philosophers. Terrence Malik tried to answer them, so there was "Thin Red Line". For a movie, asking questions about war is a bit big and improper. Most war films evade the reasons for the existence of war, pull on the banner of anti-war, and inject heroism, visual bombardment, and hormone-filled male friendship. Shows the cruelty of war, shooting, suffocation, coldness, ruthlessness, and fate. At the same time, they promote sacrifice, friendship, honor, belief, and nation. From the perspective of vulgar humanitarianism, they are all moral and correct, but They cunningly avoided the beginning and the body of the war.
The various parts that make up "60 Positions of Surprise Attack" can completely concoct a Hollywood-style war movie. The legendary story of the tunnel blasting team, with a unique perspective; the total length of the blasting tunnel is equivalent to the distance from London to Dublin, with wonders; there is love (the protagonist and his girlfriend are separated), there is family affection (father and son on the battlefield, separation of flesh and blood), and friendship (The love of the members of the blasting team) and so on. You can see these in the film, but it is not a Hollywood-style war film, although it still belongs to the ranks of "most war films".
The style of "Sudden Strike 60 Position", like the soldiers living in the tunnel in the film, advances cautiously. The members of the blasting team are low-key and ridiculed by the frontline fighters. The film is also relatively honest, with little rendering of the climax, only the subtitles at the end of the film. The Chinese popularized the historical materials of the past legends for the audience. The cramped space in the tunnel is like the enclosed space in the tank in Lebanon. If Hollywood is allowed to shoot, the internal landscape of the tunnel is obviously not conducive to creating a visual spectacle, then it is not difficult to add more branches, increase the conflict on the ground, and find some reasonable promotion plot.
The love story between the hero and his girlfriend is nothing more than to highlight the cruelty of war. Most of the scenes of the film are unfolded underground, the tunnel is muddy and wet, the characters are gray and gloomy, and the picture is gloomy. The flashbacks of the protagonist and his girlfriend are sunny and radiant. Dirty battlefield scenes, together with the beautiful Australian scenes, come from reality, and together they issue accusations against war. The scene of the male protagonist interacting with his girlfriend is not as poetic and beautiful as in "The Thin Red Line", and their stories are not as vulgar as "Pearl Harbor". So, is this line of narrative unique? It's not unique at all. It takes on some narrative tasks, eases and relieves the depression in the tunnel, and avoids the film from being too monotonous. To a certain extent, it strives to make the film mediocre and more enjoyable.
The protagonist’s strategy could have taken the line of personal heroism. The film sets up two interference plots, because of his reasons, his comrades sacrificed. To discredit the image of heroes and not to pursue the emotional impact of individual heroes on the audience is one of the most valuable aspects of the film. The protagonist returned to the battlefield in last year’s Oscar’s best film "The Hurt Locker", which should be consistent with the theme of "war is a drug." Shadow experience is still the thrill of "heroes saving all beings".
In the conflict between the protagonist and his superiors, the protagonist’s determination and decisiveness are impressive, while the depiction of the German army in the film is very simple. The movie watching inertia brought by Hollywood movies and Hong Kong movies, the protagonist needs an opponent with comparable strength and intelligence, "Sudden Strike 60 Position" did not make use of this routine. The wit fighting mode with two heroes at the core is undoubtedly easy to increase drama conflict and appreciation. The German army has been absent for a large amount of the film, and it was only halfway through that the German army appeared. Abandon the conflict and tell one side, whether it is deliberately or according to historical data, the director's confidence is not small.
There are far less movies about World War I than World War II, and there are only a few well-known ones such as "No War on the Western Front", "Long Engagement", and "Heroes of Air Combat". Who knows the legendary deeds in "Sudden Strike 60 Positions". The protagonist of the film is an Australian. This film was filmed in Australia. It is still a self-reliant hero, let future generations remember. Even assuming all kinds of assumptions, Hollywood-style "Surprised Assault 60 Positions" can attract more people's attention in the world. However, the Hollywood product "The Hurt Locker" has topped the Oscar name, and the box office is still failing. People's taste is really unpredictable.
Ironically, the 60 positions won by the characters in the film were occupied by the Germans a few months later. The sacrifices and honors were just a passing moment. In addition, in the real world, the bigger irony is that the United States has made the most war films in the world while singing and dancing. Have you ever seen the war apocalypse of its own war in troubled regions such as the Middle East and Africa? 【Sohu Entertainment】
