There is no difference between film and other ways of expression, and it is something that is fully personal and subjective. Concerned about the phenomenon that this movie is not well received in the country, only based on some understanding of the personal film, I feel that "The Bomb Disposal" is a bit of a loss. This kind of small-cost independent film was originally not a super-large commercial film like "Avatar" that allows everyone to save a few days of moving bricks to go to the cinema to corrupt. It is good that young and old can appreciate both the taste and the common. However, in order to cater to the tastes of most people, they often have to avoid some sensitive questions, so there is less torture about people and things. Oscar seems to have always been keen on commercial blockbusters in my impression. This tossing has indeed surprised many domestic audiences who are uncomfortable with independent films. But the heavy little golden man is more than rumors and rumors.
"Bomb Disposal Unit" tells the story of the mission of the US military in Iraq in the bomb disposal unit in Baghdad. Indeed, as one of the highly professional and constantly tense arms, the bomb disposal unit obviously possesses a lot of personal heroism. factor. This is a very curious setting-this kind of tension is not only between the bomb disposal experts and the bombs, but also between the troops and the local residents. If handled properly, on the one hand, the bomb disposal experts will gain honor and admiration, on the other hand, the relationship with the local people will become friendly and harmonious.
What almost surprised most of our audience is that the director did not follow this line of thought. The destruction of the illusion of personal heroism and professionalism is the tone set from the beginning of the film. The death of Private Guy Pierce at the beginning not only cleans up the daydream of personal heroism, but also exposes the tense relationship between the US military and local residents to the scorching sun in the Middle East. It is dry and hard to swallow.
But I really think that the beginning of this paragraph is just a foreshadowing (maybe it implies that the future fate of our male protagonist may also be possible, and this foreshadowing is quite good). It is the protagonist that really lifts personal heroism to the sky and then smashes it. String. I glanced at the progress bar. The film took almost 2/3 of the time to create a hero. It reached the culmination of the conflict when he broke into the home of a university professor for the little boy, but only smashed it severely in the last 1/3 of the film. Broken (I said the director is cruel enough =__=||). When James hadn't started and just started trying to avenge the little boy in the first 2/3, he was indeed a thorough image of an American soldier, basically acting recklessly and recklessly. This also contributed to his almost conceited character to some extent. During the search for the human flesh bomb base, all contradictions were about to arise-he thought it was a little boy he knew lying on the dissection table, so he decided on impulse to find his parents;
but the first slap on James was not Beckham. I gave it. That night, after failing to find clues, he was sent to investigate the explosion site. His brain was heated and he asked to act without authorization, but he caused serious injuries to his comrades;
when things got out of control, Beckham appeared. This paragraph is very ironic. It's not so much a slap in the face of individual heroism, it's more real than a spit and spit. At the same time, the injured comrade-in-arms did not forget to yell at him when he was carried on the helicopter. I have to doubt the insidious intentions of the director;
so our poor protagonist finally began to lose his trust in the locals. He may no longer have the illusion of helping the locals at all. At least the skills are still there, but his only failure was due to his distrust of local residents. If he and other comrades did not threaten with a gun, perhaps human lives could be saved, and this only mistake could be avoided. When I saw this passage, I was deeply moved. I sighed that all these contradictions appeared together in one scene so perfectly, but all of this may have happened in real time.
It can be said that the director's slap in the face of heroism is real and shows no mercy. But after slapped, what we saw was the sad side of heroism. "War is a drug", in response to the opening sentence, when the protagonist truly feels the pain of war, but still can't get rid of the addiction of war, perhaps the director's understanding of personal heroism has risen to a whole new level.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------The
title also says that "war and understanding will always run counter to each other." I don’t know if you have noticed that almost every time the US military tries to have a peaceful and friendly dialogue with the locals, the result is always embarrassment and confusion. In an emergency, the soldiers can only threaten them to leave by yelling and guns.
The most interesting is the period when James broke into the professor's house. Intellectuals who mastered multiple languages tried to communicate friendly, but were drunk out of the house by a housewife who did not understand English. Is this the only time that the local people’s attitude towards the US military has been described positively?
The performance of James is more interesting, he seems to be flattered by the professor's friendliness. Perhaps understanding is always scarce, perhaps the US military in Iraq like James is eager to understand, and perhaps there are people in the area trying to change the tense atmosphere, but what war brings is always hatred, which is always contrary to understanding.
