I have seen the movie before when it first came out, but I have basically no impression, but it is normal. Watching a Marvel movie is basically going to the cinema to experience the cool special effects (have to praise).
This Saturday, it happened to be fine when I got up in the morning, so I watched it again (on the computer) in a daze. Let me briefly talk about the points that make myself feel deeper.
The most touching thing is the atmosphere in which the young Americans were proud of joining the army at the time. This is actually the real situation in the United States at the time of World War II. The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor completely shattered the isolationism prevailing in the United States at that time and also angered the American people of that generation.
I remember that the movie "Pearl Harbor" I watched before said this. After Pearl Harbor was bombed, American pilots bombed Tokyo, Japan. The aircraft carrier left immediately after the plane took off. After the plane was bombed, it flew directly to China. However, it was this almost suicidal mission. Everyone scrambled for it, and it was a great honor to win this mission. More importantly, these are true stories.
The reason why I feel more deeply about this is because I can vaguely see something more important than life here. Enlisting in the army and fighting in battle is a zero-sum game with no security at all. As a person with self-spirit, our first instinct is to live safely, so what makes us proactively and even urgently pursue it, and at the same time lose our lives.
Hatred of the enemy? The determination to defend your homeland? Desire for honor? Just follow public opinion?
As a person like me who has never experienced a war, I really can't really feel the determination that is firm enough to make myself dedicate my life.
I think there is some envy, because they have found a higher career than life.
Going back to the movie, it's the old-fashioned hero story, but it's really cool to watch Captain America sling fascism.
