Such a handsome cannon fodder, don't look at it for nothing

The best war movies are ones that make you feel like fighting is boring after watching it. Such as the lid of the pot. Or something that feels ridiculous, like an all-metal case. Or make people feel like they are definitely cannon fodder, like Stalingrad, etc., etc. . .

The next best war movie is one that makes people feel sorry for the sunshine. The Belle of Memphis is one such. Americans are optimistic by nature, they don't take pictures of how a group of good young people get bombed in the first battle of the maiden, and their audiences don't like to watch tragedy. Therefore, Americans will definitely not make a film as desperate as Stalingrad. They chose the lucky Memphis Belle crew.

But Ye Ci's poem is well written: I fight with ones I don't hate, I fight for the ones I don't love. In the end, he explained that to put it bluntly, young people always have the desire to be cannon fodder. God mixed the libido with the element of self-destruction.

So everyone invented a word: SNAFU = Situnation Normal, All F**ked Up... This is one of the cutest lines.

So relax and enjoy the boys. There are countless future sportsmen in this film, the new favorites of the X-generation. Of course, the pink and nen Zhengtai of those years are now uncles. But the boys at that time had their own simple and lovely side. They were as healthy and noisy as the animals on the runway, and they were completely different from the pale and sickly flat chested.

This is the last military film Matthew Modine starred in. Because he is too innocent and beautiful, various directors always let him play the injured one in crazy war movies. But in 1986 someone asked him to play Top Gun. Thank goodness, Modine is 193cm, and it is impossible to get into the cabin of an F-14. Even if he didn't play a tank soldier, Hollywood would give a lot of face.

    The group play is well done, taking into account everyone's personalities. They are real people. The crew members are also written concisely and clearly. Fortunately, they all came back safely. The rhythm is also well controlled. Ten degrees of big aerial lens

    Mediocre, expensive in truth. In war, it is always young people who are not even mentally mature, who take on the heaviest and most unpredictable topics of life and death.
