I watched this film just after it was released six years ago, and I thought it was a very good film. I've always wanted to find a chance to watch it again. After I recommended this film to my friends in the group today, I couldn't help but revisit the classics again!
Director Mel Gibson, plus James Horner's soundtrack, it's a must-see!
The plot of the movie is shocking and violent, but behind the original bloody scene is gentle love. In fact, the guillotine was just for offering sacrifices to the gods and praying that the earth would no longer be dry. This kind of sacrifice to life is common in primitive society. In the film, you are attacked, escorted, guillotined, lunar eclipse, run away, chase, counterattack, and chased by black panthers. The thrilling scenes impact your vision and heart. You can see pain, joy, care, friendship, responsibility, courage, and faith, and the main reason that supports the protagonist's rush is the concern for his family.
Because of the sneak attack, he had to hide his wife and children in a stone pit, and then re-fought for his homeland, but eventually became a prisoner because of the large and small disparity, and his father was killed. In order to save his wife and children in the stone pit, the protagonist, after escaping from the guillotine, tried not to be killed in the enemy's game, and finally ran to the forest he was familiar with. He did not run away because of fear. From the beginning, the movie showed the audience that they are the masters of this forest, and they will not be afraid here. Although it is a last resort to jump down the waterfall, it is also due to familiarity with the land where I grew up. The final counterattack was courageous and strategic, showing all his hunting skills. The poisonous toad blows the needle, and uses the row of arrows to kill the beast to kill the enemy leader who is chasing him. Finally rescued his wife and children! The birth of a new life relaxes the nervous nerves a bit.
I also like the soundtrack very much and listen to it almost every day. Can make me feel the most primitive and true power, but this kind of power will make me feel peaceful. I can actually use it as a lullaby. In the eyes of many people, this is impossible, so how can powerful drum beats be played before going to bed? But I listen to it almost every night.
The dynamic drum beats when gathering together in front of the fire made people want to dance, and the tense vocal soundtrack before the attack made people feel noisy, and the music during the attack was tragic and harsh, which made people unbearable to hear. Also, when the protagonist walks on the guillotine and the camera switches to the scene of his wife and children in the stone pit, the music immediately turns into the sound of a faint flute, as if to bring this concern to the most beloved person, which makes people can’t help but Move! In the forest, the music during the confrontation between enemies makes people feel the air being torn apart, tense and sharp!
In short, everyone should enjoy this film, my experience cannot represent your feeling, the above is only for reference.
