A movie of more than 3 hours can make people patiently see the end, and extremely test the director's skill.
1. A few interesting scenes
1. At the beginning, a green forest gradually heard the sound of tight mechanical power, and then a helicopter passed by before the scene of the war. The picture rotates quietly, and the sound transitions very well from far to near. The whole article is set in the tropical rain forest, and it is not tired to look at.
2. The Valkyrie music drives the enemy away, just like the peasants' song to drive away the birds with the legend of the Phoenix.
3. Make a movie on the battlefield. In order to show the wonderful battle scenes, the director calls the soldiers charge. The soldiers are a bit confused. Is this tm a real fight or a fake fight?
4. The reason for the air raid is that it is suitable for surfing, and the leader likes surfing.
5. There are soldiers picking up planes in the labor performance, which is the same as looking for bullet shells under the screen after watching a movie.
6. The monthly girl exchanges meat for oil, no matter how glamorous you are on weekdays, once you enter an extraordinary state, you have to show human instincts.
7. The protagonist asks for help from the field leader. The leader ignores the command from the headquarters but cares about the surfer. Obviously, labor and capital are number one in the world on the battlefield.
8. Shooting fishermen. This section is very exciting, fully expressing the cruelty of war, the numbness of veterans, the fear of recruits, and the helplessness of civilians.
9. The performances of the widows of the French Manor, the attention on the balcony, the desire at the banquet, and the smoking and dedication in bed, etc. Anyway, they may die tomorrow, it is better to live in the present.
10. Before the air raid, the Viet Cong teachers organized elementary school students to escape, showing the Vietnamese people’s longing for a better life in the future. No matter how hard it is, let the children go to school. If the war of resistance is won in the future, the children will have a culture to build a new country.
Two, a few places that are not easy to understand
1. Knowing that the upper and lower reaches are all US troops, the Viet Cong uses villages along the river as a base and still runs schools here, obviously to put the children in danger. The costumes of the children and teachers are white and pure, not like the style of a battlefield school at all.
2. At the French dinner, apart from the dialogue, it is impossible to see that there has just been a battle here. The specifications of the dinner and the demeanor of the participants do not reflect the slightest sense of war urgency.
3. After the death of the black captain, the male protagonist took the captain's camera and turned around for several times. At this time, the prow was close to the shore. It was impossible to have time for the ship to go in circles. As a veteran, the male protagonist could not be threatened with a spear. When he was not relieved, he hugged an injured subordinate and chirped.
4. Kurz's thought change and mental process. As a colonel officer with family and children, he traveled far and wide to come to the front line of the war. Without the support of his motherland, he became king and fought the Viet Cong. Not only could he attract many local people, but he could also count reporters and officers who came to kill himself. Used, this kind of leader’s complex thoughts, multiple personalities, leadership wisdom, personal charisma, and behavioral aura have not been fully expressed.
The reason may be that the screenwriter does not have a deep understanding of big figures and dictators, and there is not enough material content to support the character's image, so that the public was brainwashed two days ago (reporters admired it so much), and two days later, he asked for it. Killing, it’s hard to imagine why an independent leader who has experienced many battles wants to go to death, which leads to the unfinished end of the whole movie.
