Come here in admiration, and come home disappointed

A disappointing movie, the plot is far-fetched, and the plot setting is inconsistent.

It was originally a story about two male protagonists overcoming numerous difficulties, even needing to cross the enemy's front, before dawn the next day, to pass on information and save more than 1,600 friendly troops. The storyline is full of bugs.

1. Only two people are assigned to complete such an important task. The chief nicknamed "Lone Ranger is more efficient." So the question is, can't you send more batches of Lone Ranger? Sending a few more people to act separately will not succeed.

Let's look at several major setbacks encountered by the two male protagonists:

2. The task time is tight, and the message needs to be delivered before dawn the next day. As a result, the two male protagonists are still taking a leisurely visit to the German base dormitory after the German army evacuated. Dragging the food bag and hooking the mine line, ushered in the first disaster. . . . Really brother, don't ridicule and make trouble in this place, and go quickly.

3. The enemy plane crashed and fell in front of the two male protagonists. The two male protagonists were almost killed and escaped. The first thing was to rescue the enemy by fire (the plane caught fire), which directly caused Male No. 2 to be attacked and stabbed to death by the enemy. . . . . Really brother, people will shoot your own family in the sky, please don't be so Madonna, Madame must also teach the basic law, a little defensive.

4. So only one male protagonist left and went on the road. The magical operation came. The male protagonist sneaked into the enemy base and was about to rush to the destination, but was discovered by the enemy. The male protagonist covered the enemy's mouth and "booed" to him, implying that he should not say anything, and then slowly let go of his hand. . . Unsurprisingly, the enemy army really began to call his teammates "There are British guys" (this teammate was a little confused when he was drunk)! ! ! The hero hurriedly pinched the enemy and used his dagger during the fight. Brother, why don’t you have a dagger and stabbed him to death at the beginning? ? ? ?

5. The hero finally strangled the enemy, and finally attracted the attention of his teammates. (At this time, the teammates did not find that the hero was a British soldier, but walked tremblingly to check the situation), so the hero chose and hit The teammate who drove the enemy quickly ran away, and even forgot to take away his own gun. . . . Not surprisingly, the teammates discovered that the male lead began to shout loudly, attracting countless shots (natural body strokes). . . . . ? ? ? ? ? Really brother, you had a gun and a dagger in your hand at the time, facing an drunk enemy you chose to knock him off and let him wake up all the enemies to beat you together? ? ? ? ? The deeds of the virgin confuses the world.

I really can’t understand the director’s plot setting. If I want to show the kindness of the British army and the ungratefulness of the German army with the male lead’s repeated "relaxation" to the German army, it is really unnecessary and cannot cause me. The slightest emotional resonance, and even just feel criticized.

Of course, there are some good points. The scenes are pretty good. In the last segment, the male protagonist rushed to the front line and anxiously looked for the commander-in-chief in the crowd (forgot what position) to prevent the attack. The shot was still quite shocking.

But the overall plot is really inexplicable, two stars are given to the screen, there can be no more.

    3.5; Cinema re-watching does not add points, on the contrary, it strengthens the original look and feel; but it is indeed a movie that is more suitable for viewing in the theater, and the sound effects and photography will be improved. The first half of the long mirror controls all (artificial/deliberate) scheduling, and the character becomes a puppet of the panoramic view of the battlefield. The pseudo "one mirror to the end" does not provide a sense of immersion (for me), but at the dark editing point; In doubt about the necessity of installing a long mirror, if we say "immersion", this highly formalized operation of the mirror and the cruel textual appeal of the war are broken in essence. Being cut to pieces and false, the sense of "coolness" is closer to the game. The night drama really bursts into a climax. The light and shadow charm of my big Diggins is full of perfection. The fragility and splendor of life shine together in the blink of light and darkness, and the shadows seem to grow from the light, and goose bumps cannot be helped; the sparks dissipate in the moment, then It took a moment for the long mirror to get rid of the shackles of "form" and become one with emotions. I would like to play this segment in a loop.

    Now I think that all movies with Benedict Cumberbatch will have the effect of making the audience play. So Mendes put him at the end, the soldier finally reached the end, completed the task, and the audience had worked hard for two hours. Let me show you Benny! The audience laughed when he saw him turning around. There was really no one! The first role that the audience is familiar with is too good side effect!
