World War II, Spielberg, Oscar nominations, Tom Hanks, any keyword has enough topics for discussion.
The background of the story took place in World War II, the landing of Normandy, he opened up the second battlefield in Europe, which was a key turning point in World War II. In the first twenty minutes of the film, through the bloodbathed description of the Omaha War, it shows the cruelty of World War II. Actually, as a girl, I didn’t dare to be interested in this kind of war film, including watching this kind of fighting scenes, I was patient, but at the end of the film, when Captain Miller was dying, he told the living Ryan, earn it, don’t let it down. , The translation of this sentence is just right. When this sentence echoed in my ears, and then thinking of those fighting, blood, guns, torrential rain, blood donation, cold water, mud, it seemed so thrilling and bloody and cruel.
Don't disappoint, this sentence is not only to Ryan, but also to the tens of thousands of viewers watching the movie, don't disappoint, don't disappoint their sacrifices, don't disappoint the current life.
Back to the main topic of the film, in order to take care of the mother whose three sons died, the U.S. Army decided to dispatch an eight-man rescue team to find his last son, soldier Ryan... This move is awesome, born under the red flag. The education we have received since childhood is to sacrifice the ego and achieve the collective. So such a move is almost impossible to happen in China, unless the person is a senior leader or knows some secrets. But, what if you are the Ryan? Or are you yourself the mother who has lost three sons? So, in this, I saw the brilliance of human nature. Along the way, everyone is also questioning the rationality of this task, who he is, why it is worth our rescue, whether he is still alive, especially along the way, watching his companions continue to die, everyone's doubts are deeper. Miller played a key role in it. He didn't use very touching words to tell everyone that this task is reasonable and great. He just said our goal is to go home. Don't think about other things, just for this goal, which is why when they saw an enemy-occupied fortress, everyone suggested a detour, and he chose to help. In fact, one scene that was very impressive was that the injured Miller saw the enemy tank, weakly but firmly raised his pistol and fired at the German tank. Miller said that he used to be a teacher and had never been trained, but now he is an iron-blooded soldier. In fact, I was thinking, if Miller survives and returns to his hometown, can it continue to be a teacher? Impossible, the war changed a person and turned a teacher into a war hero, so everything can't go back. It's not just Miller who can't go back, but Urban as well. At first I didn't like Urban, cowardly, and selfish. When Captain Miller went to find him, we could find that he kept emphasizing his own translation and had not been on the battlefield, but he eventually joined the team. When faced with the German prisoner, the squad let him go, but he later participated in the war and stood in front of Urban. Urban shot him without hesitation.
These heroes all wanted to go home, but they couldn't go back when they were on the battlefield. How many people return to the United States, lose their original profession, and suffer from the war in their hearts. As Miller said, every time I fire a shot, the farther away I am from my home. It can be seen that the cruelty of this kind of war is not just for the time of the war, it may continue for the next few years, or even decades, whether it is alive or dead.
There are many more things to remember about this movie. If you have time, you can watch it again.
