But the black hawk down is indeed very positive! Except for a handsome pot like Josh Hartnett (it’s hard to imagine him being so stylish in 40 days & 40 nights!), the whole film is very positive.
The music is very positive, the scene is very positive, I have never looked away from the beginning to the end, nor have I relaxed my breathing.
There is also the sentence no one leaves behind. I
remember when I saw halfway through, I asked the big cat sitting next to me: Since the 2-3 people who crashed are basically not far from death, why are so many people running away? Save them? The situation is wrong, and quickly withdraw to save strength!
Big cat is quite disdainful of my ideas.
Looking at it, I also started to understand. It is not a question of whether it is worth saving or not, but the belief that it must be saved.
The war is cruel. If it is "not worth it" to give up the life of a partner, who will desperately go on the battlefield? This is the same as the feeling of those PLA soldiers who never gave up to rescue after the Sichuan earthquake. At that time I thought: If I was trapped by the disaster, I would have confidence that I could be saved, as long as I held it. In the same way, as long as I have the ability to rescue, I will never give up.
This power can warm the hearts of many people.
In fact, war is really cruel and inhuman. (Or is it the best embodiment of humanity? I don't know)
All the moving objects (ie people) of the "enemy" are just targets. Shooting one by one counts as one. Anyone on "our side", no matter who they are, is a life that must be saved.
However, we are all "human beings", what is the extreme of human nature to the extreme? War, after all, is human beings’ self-destructive nature, or is it an indestructible devil?
I saw the second Black Hawk pilot who was shot down, the one who was later kidnapped. After being spotted by the group of "mobs," they beat him viciously. He held the photos of his wife and daughter tightly in his hand, which made me feel a pain. However, the families of those "mobs" may have just been shot and killed by these unreasonable US troops. Who knows who is "just" and who is "evil".
The reason why I like this movie is a bit different from Big Cat. Big cat said that saving private ryan is the classic depiction of human nature in similar war films, and the essence of no man leaves behind. Black hawk down is just a purely realistic war scene. Through a small, nonsensical battle, you can see the real scene of the war and the super combat readiness of the US military.
But in this realistic movie, I can see a lot of things outside the movie. That's not the kind of thinking that a film with a director's perspective can bring.
PS
Big Cat doesn't like war of the worlds, and thinks the ending is nonsense. But I just like the helplessness of the little people in the whole movie. There are no superheroes and no dramatic storylines. Some are just panic and helpless following the protagonist's sight. In the end, the alien monster Wu Lala perished on its own, and I still don't know why.
I just like movies like this.
