"Saving Private Ryan" is a film directed by Steven Spielberg. It was released in 1998 and won the 71st Oscar for Best Director, Best Editing, Best Photography, Best Sound, and Best Sound Effects Edited 5 awards and won 6 other nominations. The film is adapted from the real events of World War II. The prototype of Ryan is called Fritz Nilan, who is a U.S. paratrooper, but the story is not entirely based on real events. For example, the part in the last town is a fiction.
Speaking of this film, the most memorable part is the real and shocking war scenes. Everything is so cold and concise, without the pain of over-rendering, without exaggerated picture effects, but it is almost breathless.
The sound effects give the film a lot of points, especially the beginning of the US military’s beach landing, the soldiers falling down next to each other, the sound of gunshots and bombs roaring past their ears, plus the shaking camera and the flying severed limbs, as if making People are on the battlefield of the Normandy landing. After watching it, it will be unforgettable for a long time, and it can be called one of the most classic passages in the history of war movies.
This classic scene should have influenced the shooting of many war scenes afterwards.
By telling a story that is not cost-effective from the perspective of utilitarianism, the film creators rescued one person at the cost of the adventures of 8 people and the sacrifices of 6 people, narrating those in the most cruel wars, although unspeakable , But there are those flashes of humanity and value that are higher than utility and life.
In fact, the theme of a failed war film can easily fall into two extremes. One is to enter a kind of anti-warism that is always correct and has no position, and the other is to be rendered as a flimsy and false personal heroism, and Spielber Ge was careful not to fall into any extreme. He maintained the cruel and cruel description of the war, and honestly expressed the harm of violence to people, but he also praised the soldiers' efforts in this anti-fascist war.
Urban is undoubtedly a very brilliant character. He will strive to release prisoners based on international conventions. He will also easily say in the church that war is good for him, but when he has a chance to kill and save his comrades, what will he do? Can't do it either. I think that the film uses such a role to express the attitude of ordinary people towards war. At first it was idealized, but once you really get involved in it, you understand that nothing can be done by relying solely on innocence.
However, the moment he pointed the gun at the prisoner and pulled the trigger later, he had a new awareness that was different from the previous one, and it was precisely because of this that he was changed by the war.
Miller said in the church that the only thing he could comfort a little was to imagine that he sacrificed one person, and that he might be able to save 10 times or 100 times. But when his life came to an end, they obviously sacrificed so many people, but only rescued Ryan. It clearly did not meet the conditions for him to sacrifice a few to save the majority, but he smiled, still looking like he was comforted. . Perhaps at that moment, there is no difference between sacrificing one person to save 100 people and sacrificing six people to save one person, because both save people and cherish life and humanity. He asked Ryan to "Earn it" and use the next effort A good life to win the cherishment of a life that everyone exchanges with their own lives, just like everyone in the peace era after the war.
The deceased is in the past. Treating himself as the life of the war heroes who exchanged their lives with their lives in the past, they should strive to survive.
