In fact, it is possible that my reminder is superfluous.
Whether as a director or an actor, Mel Gibson basically has nothing to do with his work.
From the brave heart to the Passion of the Christ, to the 2006 Revelation, Emma, the Ministry can make a delicate woman like me lose weight for three days.
In 1996, Mel Gibson's "Brave Heart", directed and acted by Mel Gibson, won five Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Photography, Best Sound, and Best Make-up in one fell swoop, making this name well-known to Chinese audiences. .
Mel Gibson is good at portraying real, bloody, violent scenes.
This time I will direct the tube after 10 years, and I have chosen such a World War II theme film adapted from a real story. I want to know with my knees that there will be no shortage of flesh and blood!
The first half of the film has a slower rhythm, laying a fine foundation for the character and beliefs of the male protagonist Desmond Dawes.
When the audience is still wondering whether it is necessary to exalt the hero's dedication to faith, the rhythm of the film suddenly rises!
However, the sudden change of the rhythm did not make the audience feel uncomfortable, but made the audience instantly accept and follow the plot to become passionate.
The male protagonist Desmond Daws chose to join the army because of his family, and refused to carry and use weapons because of his beliefs.
A soldier refused to carry a gun.
This seems to be teasing us.
Will your monitor allow it? Will your platoon leader allow it? Will your company commander, battalion commander, and regiment command allow it?
Even if they allow it, your comrades will not allow it. After all, they are fighting side by side with you. You who are not armed with a gun will follow them on the battlefield. Once their lives are threatened, how do you save them with your bare hands? Are you kidding with the life of your comrade-in-arms?
No one allowed and no one understood.
So he was opposed by everyone and beaten by his comrades. Even facing military trials.
But even so, Desmond Dawes did not waver at all.
Ask ourselves, most of us can't do like him: even if we gamble on our lives and lose everything, we must stick to our principles.
It is also the successful portrayal of the male protagonist's character in the first half of the film, and in the second half of the film, the male protagonist's behavior to stay on the battlefield alone to save every comrade in arms who may be alive has strong support.
Anyone who knows a little about the history of World War II should know the tragic battle of Okinawa. In our anti-Japanese drama, there are often plots of our army's death squads that made the Japanese soldiers suffer. In fact, the Japanese death squads were the only ones that let the US military in World War II. Suffer.
Although Desmond Dawes refused to carry weapons, he was always ready to dedicate his life to his comrades.
On that cliff, the soil was soaked with blood like bread flooded with water, stumps of limbs and broken arms, visceral carrion were everywhere, and maggots crawled all over their bodies, wailing and piercing the sky!
The purgatory on earth is not enough to describe this miserable image.
However, this is what the war really looks like.
It is not a painless joke in the emoji that can make a tall adult man cry.
When the familiar and living comrades in arms were pierced by bullets, broken by shells, blood raining down, and rotten flesh and organs flying in front of them, that kind of fear can instantly suffocate people.
When everyone had left, Desmond Dawes stayed alone on this terrifying battlefield like a purgatory, helping every comrade in arms who might still be alive with his bare hands. What supports him is the faith he has always insisted on, and his cherishment and awe of life.
Risking his life to put the wounded down from the cliff one by one, when he himself finally got off the life-threatening cliff, he was greeted by everyone's admiration and respect.
Everyone agrees with him, including those who despised and bullied him before.
Desmond Dawes proved by his actions: The absence of weapons does not mean that I am powerless; the refusal to kill does not mean that I am not brave.
At this time the audience finally understood that faith is indeed great.
It allows mankind to persevere in an environment of extreme pain and despair.
The countless revolutionary martyrs in our country have already proved this point.
But the film also shows us another terrible "belief."
The Japanese army's disregard and trampling of life in the film is in sharp contrast with Desmond Daws's insistence and emphasis on life.
I believe that the director's inking on the Japanese suicide bombings and abdominal incisions has its meaning.
I dare not speculate about the director's thoughts, but only talk about my own feelings about watching movies: no matter what kind of belief, it should be built on the premise of respecting life.
Combining with the recent escalation of refugee incidents in Europe, I just want to sigh: May the world be at peace.
