A proper nine-point slice. Even better than Apocalypse Now. This piece is a bit long, so long that it is a little stuffy, and if you are so stuffy that you are impatient, just cut it off in minutes. However, when you can calm down, you will find that there is something special inside.
A good movie will give you a moment of contemplation after watching it, instead of walking out of the cinema or turning off the screen after watching it, it is like running a ten-kilometer or half-marathon. burning. Watching comrades fall one by one, have their hands and feet broken, disemboweled, face the fear of machine gun fire and death at any time, instinctual withdrawal, physical discomfort, nausea and vomiting, mental breakdown and even madness... As an excellent war The subject film, the director successfully presented these feelings to the viewers. This naturally leads to a question, what is the war for? Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs. Wars are never victorious. Some are just show-offs and propaganda by those in power, while others are just civilians and victims who were arbitrarily ravaged and trampled on as dogs. If there is a God, where is God at this time? Is war a game that God started for his own amusement? The price is the blood of the corpses and the reddened mountains and streams. In a sense, God is not perfect, at least in the face of evil, he is lazy.
The film is undoubtedly quite successful in showing the cruelty of war. This is also the essential difference from bad war movies - the latter will only ignite the audience's raging fire and even yearning for war, intending to turn the audience into a war machine that does not think.
In addition, the film is also very skilled in moving the mirror. The long-range and close-up view of the jungle, the change of light, the wind blowing on the hillside and the shaking of the grass are all almost perfectly integrated into the progress of the entire war, from which we can see more or less references to Akira Kurosawa's films.
There is no doubt that this is a good film that deserves to be watched several times.
