"American Sniper": the end of a bullet

The film is completely immersed in the display of naked killing and unilateral patriotism, and it does not show us the value of a feature film or an artistic film. Under the lens of Eastwood, the character's emotions erupt and the plot advances. The process of being one-sided has become the splicing of two irrelevant images together, and the language of the lens is not clear, which makes the meaning of the existence of the film as a biopic confuses the meaning of the existence of the film itself. We can clearly see that the movie does not really show the richness and complexity of the movie plot centered on the portrayal of the characters. It simply uses the bullets shot from the sniper rifle to interpret the purpose behind all this for us. Shooting represents the death of a life, and the death in it does not have any special meaning for women and children. The seemingly objective and cold-blooded display gives us a more profound and direct feeling, making every moment of shooting It gave us a heavy pressure on our hearts. The plot of the movie is more to show us the pictures of killings one after another, making people immersed in the scene of sniping and unable to extricate themselves. The bloody senses, without much thinking and judgment, all concentrated on reflecting a problem behind. That is also the darkest and most pessimistic question in human nature. Is killing really an expression of the existence of a sense of justice? Can your heart really bear this excuse for being unable to interpret it? This issue is very worthy of people's thoughts and doubts. People are afraid of death and more choose to escape war. The protagonist in the movie rushes to the battlefield with emotions of patriotism and revenge to complete the mission he set. I have to say that he is a very selfish and contradictory existence. The role is more important. Enjoy the sense of existence that the role played on the battlefield and the honor you have brought to yourself, instead of being in a quiet life in obscurity, enduring a noisy and boring quiet life, the movie weaves this kind of selfish thoughts A seemingly great excuse can't hide the selfishness and bloodiness implicit in it.

The narrative of the movie is very chaotic. At the beginning of the plot design, the movie lost a whole clear main story line. The story was expressed with many irrelevant emotional factors interspersed in it, making the movie originally love love. The theme of the scene even loses its focus and sense of direction. The film’s handling of emotional scenes is very inadequate. Not only does it fail to portray the troubles and ups and downs of love in the eyes of the heroes and heroines, but also omit the emotional scenes several times, which makes the movie look like. It’s as if Lanyao has been cut off for several times to make people appear in the show. This has to be said, but Clint Eastwood, who is directed by the excellent, is still not fully aware of the continuity of the overall plot in terms of grasping the plot. . The scenes of the movie are still too focused on the process of killing plots. This inevitably makes people feel that the overall feeling of the movie has a sense of operation like a game screen. Once this feeling is felt, the movie will not feel it. The seriousness presented, so that the war effect that the movie wanted to express, did not play the role it should play. If the director can fully mobilize the processing of the entire storyline, I want to deal with the scenes in the process of sniping. The above will make people feel more profound triggers and feelings, rather than simply enjoying the happiness of bloody sniper in the screen. The problem exposed by the film still fails to truly express the connotation and meaning that the film should have. The film feels very empty, without thought, and there is no exact problem that I want to explain. It simply takes the process. Described, it is almost cold-eyed without any critical claims and feelings, as if it is like a documentary, which makes people unable to feel any meaning. Maybe the director is to let us enjoy this process of description, let us appreciate the movie as a pure commercial film, but this kind of biographical movie really makes us can’t let go of thinking about the director’s intentions. The position swap has unknowingly deepened each other's misunderstanding of the film.

The film broke the traditional American war films’ conventions of promoting the spirit of American humanity, and truly reflected the cruelty and blood on the battlefield. It no longer beautifies the American heroism presented in the course of the war, and instead chooses one. More obscure and more real scenes to express the real war. In fact, killing people in war is not a very glorious thing, but people treat him as a hero. This has to be said to be untenable in terms of humanity and morality. No matter when, we are standing in our own favor. Thinking and expressing problems from a standpoint, rather than evaluating them from an objective perspective, this also nakedly expresses how a war butcher evolved into a battle hero, but people never thought that every bullet he shot would be destroyed. The original happiness of a family, which is also not allowed to be a hero.

Each bullet represents the end of a life. Bradley Cooper vividly interprets the life of a sniper for us. From his performance, we can see the choices and pressures that a sniper has to bear. He also made his own choice in the country and family. Whether he was burdened with a certain sense of fate or not, his role in the history of the US military is still very obvious. His sacrifice for the role in the movie still seems very effective, restoring the appearance of the real character as a whole, which makes people quite admired and moved. After all, the pursuit of the ultimate in art is impossible for ordinary people to do. Doing better and doing your best is also a kind of heroism.
