Based on the original biography of true events, Angelina Jolie's "Chong Ao" custom film (which only won three technical nominations for best cinematography, best sound and best sound editing) was shot like a The primary school students' composition, flat lay and direct account, did not miss the place that should be mentioned, but just couldn't see the connotation and essence of the original work.
The role of the protagonist is too pale: he was a child, he ran out of the sky, he was a hero, he crashed and drifted, he was imprisoned and suffered, and he was finally saved... The mental journey at each stage is lacking Appropriate connections are almost presented one by one in a jumping manner. In fact, there are many detailed descriptions in the original book that are very helpful for character shaping and inner thought expression, but these seem to be ignored in the film.
What left me speechless the most was the performance of the Japanese officer's role. It was estimated that the original intention was to express the pain and struggle of being cruel on the outside but resisting on the inside. As a result, it gave the performance a taste full of sadomasochism. There was a female audience behind me (presumably a rotten girl) while watching and muttering, "Oh, this is love and killing each other..." I was also drunk... The
end should be the essence of the film's journey of forgiveness and redemption, But only a few subtitles were used, which just exposed the center of the American theme of the film. The little devil is good or bad, forgive him!
The following are some of my extended thoughts after watching, just for personal values, not related to the film.
I think the cruelest aspect of war is that it is started by the rulers, but most of the people who are involved in the war and die or suffer are ordinary people who have nothing to do with the war at all.
An American soldier and a Japanese soldier will kill each other when they meet on the battlefield. But they have never met, they don't know each other, and they have no grievances or hatreds. Maybe in the peaceful era, the two of them happened to meet each other while traveling in China, and they would have a drink and take a group photo with friends, but it happened in the specific environment of the battlefield, there was no reason, no hesitation, either you died, or I die.
The dark side of human nature, under the powerful action of the catalyst of war, has been released uncontrollably. There are no pure angels in the world, I don't know. But the devil, I believe there must be, it hides around each of us, even, in a place in our hearts that we don't even know about, and is sealed until Pandora's box is opened...
I don't agree Today, the United States has developed an American-style power after the war, a foreign policy that ignores the interests of other countries in order to ensure the absolute interests of the United States. But in reality, justice and peace, without the backing of strength, just rely on words, it is indeed meaningless.
Possessing the ability to destroy everything, but choosing to treat everything kindly, this should be regarded as an ideal state for me. But, do others think so too? Would you like to believe it?
Trust is difficult to build and lost only in an instant.
Postscript - The ending subtitles are scrolling. I happened to see that the Chinese translation of this film is the famous Jia translation. I feel that Jia translation's text expression level for this theme film is still good. As for things like animation adaptations for young people, please Can you let it go? 【Poor and hopeful expression】
