Archimedes, an ancient Greek great talent, wrote a script. The story is, "Give me a lever and a fulcrum, and I can move the whole earth." In Hollywood, there is a man who has been in a movie career for more than 60 years. , Just using a script of Uncle Archimedes, repeatedly prying the earth, and obtaining a lifetime of brilliance. This person is Clint. Eastwood. Whether you like it or not, you will recognize his achievements. He does not have a low ebb of "not being a hero for many years". With a passionate spirit of absolute loyalty to heroism, the legend of a person has been confirmed both in and out of the play. I have been preaching that being a hero is a real hero. Nowadays, in Hollywood, like Eastwood, who can direct and act, the main drama roles are the same, but it is rare to stabilize their own image and personal style. Visual fatigue is the old man. This is not a problem at all. However, when he mentions him, he is 100% able to sketch out his "one-man show" in his mind. The most important thing is that his story and his role give people super aggressive intentions. He never concealed his personal heroism. When he was young, he was a screen hero. When he was old, he wanted a young man to act out a hero like himself. He was the "only" hero no matter what. To give an improper example, he is like black pepper, fried steak, fried lamb rolls, chicken stewed mushrooms, just put a teaspoon of black pepper, black pepper will occupy your entire taste buds, and there is no other taste. But for people who love black pepper, this is what they eat. As far as I am concerned, the color and fragrance of this old western cowboy's work cannot be uniformly averaged. I like black pepper steak, but the peppery taste in chicken stew with mushrooms is not my dish. "The Perfect World", starring Kevin Costner and directed by Eastwood, is very temperamental to me, but "Classic Cars" which summarizes his old man's light and shadow life is a work that I don't like very much. I still didn't like the "Curve Conundrum" afterwards, but when I returned to "American Sniper", the taste I liked was found again. In fact, when I watch Eastwood's movies, I always hope that there will be a big villain with no one before and after. It is best to be undead and must counterattack. He can break into the complex of personal heroism to instigate rebellion, brainwash the hero, transform him from the soul into a mortal with flesh and blood, break the simple model of star holding the moon, and see Eastwood's complex human nature what to do? If the hero can't get to the altar, and can't make him accept that Superman can also strike, then he can only be beaten to the ground. If necessary, he can also take away the hero's life. I want to see Iss Dare Turwood face "failure". "American Sniper" satisfies my imagination. The big villain appeared, and it was a big villain that no one can destroy except God. It was a mysterious humanity, and it was a kind of war. It could also be said that it was a war. The emperors who come to play as entertainment. In short, I have seen great heroes who have fallen short. Perhaps they are the winners of primitive desire and selfishness, but they are definitely a sorrow. The drama radiates into the losers of relatives and friends; I also heard Horace’s tragic poem, “In the war, it is the young soldier who bleeds blood and the elderly mother who sheds tears. All mothers hate war.” Another one deserves recognition. It is an adapted screenplay made under the background of the film documentary. Chris Kyle, called the "Ramadi Demon" by the Iraqi insurgents, was a sniper of the US Navy SEALs. He claimed to have killed 255 targets, 160 of which were officially confirmed by the Pentagon and received various medals. Loved by comrades in arms, but also hated by them. Before joining the army, he was a professional cowboy rider, brave and combative. Killing the enemy and defending the country is his belief in life. Before going to Iraq, he married a wife and later had two children. Another tragic script of a man in the wind, the life of a sniper ended up in bullets. I was thinking that if I don’t watch movies, the legends about Chris Kyle are all on Wiki, Baidu, and you can see it at a glance with a click of a mouse. The magic is that the movie follows the same pattern, re-enacting Chris without any new ideas. The resume of Kyle's four trips to Iraq to participate in the war, with almost no plasticity that can be exerted, can even deduce the dramatic rhythmic flexibility. The movie looked like an inexplicable "freshness". Looking at the surface, changing the soup without changing the medicine, "American Sniper" is still a typical Eastwood hero "main theme" movie. There is a hero who can make the "enemy" fearful, and there is also a "time situation" that can make a hero. , Throwing home and business and sacrificing everything is to maintain justice, guard civilization, and protect comrades-in-arms as the "mother of the motherland." But this time, the "inside" seems to have an overtone that the old cowboy rarely reveals. The hero’s last medal is the Star-Spangled Banner on the coffin lid. Could it be that the hero drank this bowl of wine and embarked on a road of no return, throwing the so-called small family and so-called relatives into the precarious instability, which can only be replaced by equivalent replacements. Is there a banner for the shroud? Eastwood used the atmosphere of falling leaves to explain the "anti-war" thinking that is more valuable than national interest than heroism. This is rare in Eastwood's movies. He would kill himself in the past. Created heroes, but the starting point is different, death is also to freeze the protagonist's stalwart. The death in "American Sniper" is a fact and a kind of "cause and effect." I think that the protagonist has become "wei Guangzheng" and has become uncute. The essence is that defending national interests can enhance personal glory. However, the transition from belligerent to unclear and swaying from side to side is an inconspicuous main line of narrative, which is a question mark. Of course, "death" is by no means an original movie script, which is inevitable in the life of the archetype Kyle. However, in the "lines" in the script, which has the same weight as the sniper action drama, there are graves dug by Eastwood and the screenwriter for the war. When participating in the war, the enemy was sent to the gate of ghosts with enthusiasm. The wounded and disabled soldiers who fled the death line were physically and psychologically riddled with war tombs. These retired soldiers who could not return to normal people were all at risk of being killed at any time. Detonated bomb. This is actually a fact that needless to say, but hearing it in Eastwood's movie seems to be an unexpected gift. I don't know why, I always think of Bradley. Cooper is making full use of his generators anytime and anywhere, oily, slippery, shrewd, petty, sad, nervous, romantic, dull, all kinds of outer packaging, but you can still feel it He is a suave flower-hearted big radish, sending autumn waves to the trembling spring heart. This is of course a compliment. But having said that, it is still necessary to recognize the strength of being nominated by Oscars one after another. After a facelift from "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" to "American Sniper", he has a more precise grasp of the role and fits the theme of the hero. He is also the great hero of the whole movie. It's the same as Steve Carell, who is nominated for Oscar, and they are all similar. They are both biographies, top-notch makeup, and possess the body and spirit. In the whole movie, I like the sandstorm scene the most. The chaotic images similar to thermal imaging vaguely record the feats of the "Five Heroes of the American Wolfya Mountain" in the long history of human civilization. The vague facts are the most objective truth. , There is no absolute conclusion. This is "excellent" as I understand it. Or, the film has no intention to deal with in that way, it is purely to create an escape environment worthy of scrutiny. There are also a few street fights that are not plagued and not popular, which are not so intense to see, but highlight the "sniper". Although the foreshadowing is straightforward, it also has merits. The soldier who escaped from the war but died on the operating table is a good pawn that inspired Kyle’s fighting spirit and extinguished his hopes; the "murderer" with post-traumatic stress syndrome appeared twice before and after, which is also a clear explanation. The result. Perhaps it is my values ​​that determine my perspective on the characters in the story. I don’t think Chris Kyle is a real hero. This person is a part of the national machinery. When the machinery is spinning, he is spinning, coldly, as if The only difference from those anti-human demons is that he stands in a just America, and his enthusiasm is dedicated to the cause of justice. Of course, I know that because of the existence of seals like Kyle, the enslaved people see the hope of being rescued. Therefore, I think the main theme of "American Sniper" is complicated. On the one hand, I feel that the United States is defending the civilization of the earth. On the other hand, I hate the crimes of totalitarians and dictators, but I cannot find a way to have peace and freedom without bloodshed or war. . Therefore, I can only amplify and feel the sadness conveyed by the movie, the helplessness and death conveyed by it. The civilians executed by the Iraqi rebels, the Iraqi civilians who died in the hands of American soldiers, the Iraqi Olympic champion sniper who was killed, and Chris who also lost his life. Kyle, I saw them disappear silently from this world, and human civilization has not been defended. The war to destroy "truth" is always waiting for the hand that pulls the trigger. In Eastwood's new hero saga, only mothers and children who can't get rid of painful memories are left. And those dictatorships and totalitarians are still changing their ways of doing evil, who is indulging the devil again?
