Revelation

It's been a long time since there was any movie I wanted to recommend, so I finally saw this one. Not to mention Sam Mendes, the director who made the film "steady, accurate, and ruthless". As soon as the scene opened, I was impressed by the skill of photography. To be fair, although everyone often criticizes the picture quality of American films, in the world of 2.33:1, it is really the world of the United States. It is common for European and Asian directors to shoot 4:3 masterpieces, and it is not difficult to cover the frame. Once you become famous and have the money to start making big productions and doing widescreen, you are completely at a loss. When the picture is wide, you don’t know what to put in it. Is it better to fill it? Is it better to be empty? Beginning poor and becoming rich are bound to be in a hurry. The photography of this film is excellent, the atmosphere of the tone is strong, the gritty feeling of the scorching sun and the surreal feeling brought by the high-profile shooting make people feel very delicate. The countless long-length mirrors that are enjoyable have vividly reflected the insignificance of the soldiers under the tide of the times...

Sam Mendes need not exaggerate, "American Beauty" has proved that he is the light of hope for American new century movies . The most remarkable thing about this director is that he can maintain the consciousness of artistic creation under the evil system of Hollywood. Unlike Woody Allen, he does not oppose the system, he uses the system, and he plays with the so-called market philosophy of A-level films. In "The Head of the Pot", his ingenuity can be seen everywhere, and it can be seen that he is an excellent crop that has grown up with the nutrition of American movies.

Anthony Swford, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, had a stomach flu and Jamie Foxx in the toilet scene, and the movement of the mirror is exquisitely comparable to that of Wong Kar-Wai's "In the Mood for Love" Western restaurant scene, Swford The voicing scene was great too, but what impressed me most was the part where the soldiers watched Coppola together in Apocalypse Now, the most famous part of Apocalypse Now: The Wagner Offensive, as we watch it The cruel and inhuman scene has won the applause and cheers of the soldiers. It turns out that the class position is really a decisive factor? It can be seen that no matter how much thought Coppola spent, the people he wanted to inspire in the United States were still watching this movie from the perspective they wanted to see, just like when I watched "Flying the Taiji Flag" last year and saw the Chinese People's Volunteers all over the mountains and plains, That was also immediately bloody, shouting: "Brilliant! Awesome!" The tears were dazzling on the spot, folks, although in the movie it was a tragic scene that obviously shattered countless Koreans' dreams of reunion.

There is also a fun place: the soldiers are putting out the fire, the helicopter propaganda team is cheering, a door song is playing in the tweeter, and everyone is complaining: "Come on~ this is the Gulf War, and they are still playing the song of the Vietnam War. ?"

Most people would agree with the conclusion that war is a bastard. However, dignity, honor, and heroism seem to be inseparable. The periodic impulses of human beings, although stupid, have to admit that they are very interesting, interesting, and sometimes more important than life.

    A very different but very real war film about soldiers who did not fire a shot in the war. The soundtrack is bold. The photography is beautiful, and at the end of the film, it is Roger Diggins! (Pick up, it's a good idea to partner with your future brother-in-law!)

    It's cold and humorous, but it's not that humorous, and it's thoughtful, but it doesn't give any depth. . . something didn't come out
