The top two directors in the film industry today are Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg. They have produced a series of well-known movie classics such as: Alien, Gladiator, Fall of the Black Eagle, Kingdom of War Horse, ET; Dwarf Loki Park, Schindler's List, Munich... etc. The artistry and appreciation of these works have reached the pinnacle, impeccable.
In recent years, after the two directors have gained both fame and fortune, their film styles have begun to change from gorgeous to simple. The masters also confirmed the saying of the ancients: "The great sound is very loud, the elephant is invisible; the lead is washed away, and the innocence is returned."
When you are alone, you will fall into memories and recall the shocking movie clips in your mind.
Both the Fall of the Black Hawk and Pearl Harbor in 2001 are filled with the faint memories of war in my childhood mind over and over again, but the anti-war theme is also the same. The topic of modern warfare is even more rare after the end. I watched the Black Hawk Fall and Pearl Harbor together with Pearl Harbor.
The film sent out by this realistic approach can more touch the hearts of the audience with his reality, and arouse everyone's resonance. The audience will feel that the characters in the film are also ordinary people with flesh and blood, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
There are always two kinds of movies, one: the audience can't see in reality, but want to see things, such as: The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars. Two: real life. While most directors are still working towards the first category of movies, great directors
The second category of movies has started. At his peak, Zhang Yimou also filmed realistic films like "Qiu Ju in a lawsuit" and "No One Less". (But then he turned back and took pictures like "Ambush on All Sides" and "Golden Armor"
visual feast)
As a senior movie fan who is no longer young, the second category of films attracts me even more. After all, watching "Spider-Man" flying all over the sky, the pirate ship traveling around the sea is a kind of entertainment for laymen to watch the excitement.
Perhaps the Black Hawk falling does not need special effects or montages. For more than 2 hours, the war stood before me cruelly, and it was impossible to avoid it.
I watched this group of men raise their guns and aim in front of TV, pouting and imitating when they grew up. I saw their indie movies and realized that it was the All-Star lineup, and it was almost the original crew of Pearl Harbor. It's natural to shoot such a shocking picture without doing it.
Not long ago I made such a statement: a good movie is a movie that I can’t breathe after watching it. It’s a movie that I can’t stand up from my seat for a long time after watching it on the screen. A movie that feels my heartbeat is a movie that will make me immersed in it for a while.
Michael Bay sci-fi special effects master can see the special effects popcorn movie Transformers 4 5 in recent years. He is gradually compromising with commercial films. If he sells copies and recalls his masterpiece escaped from the clone island or Pearl Harbor, it would be relatively rude.
If all commercial films have this level, then commercial films will not always be scolded for being decent. There are no mistakes in business, and no special effects. Spending money is not even excessive. As long as the story is good, the movie is good, and the creator is sincere, the audience will pay for it, and naturally it will pay for it. And is it possible to shoot such a high level of film?
You can see Michael Bay’s enthusiasm for technology nearly twenty years ago. The scenes of war are really shocking. Even if you just watch it in front of the TV screen many years later, you can still imagine how impressive it will be before the big screen. The effect of this, especially this kind of low-flying lens, is the most sensational in the theater.
Putting the deep-seated love into the grand background, it has been tried and tested. I think of "cold mountain" cold mountain. On the one hand, love is especially precious and beautiful. It can soothe the soul of every person who is lost in history, become the spiritual pillar of people, and support people to overcome all difficulties; on the other hand, in the face of war, love is especially small and especially small. Fragile, when the lives of tens of thousands of people are threatened, love naturally retreats to the second place, and personal emotions can only be put aside in front of the family.
The movie has a smooth story and a spectacular scene. When describing love, whether it is the former or the latter, it is very moving.
Not a professional, I am just an ordinary person who likes to watch movies. As long as it touches the hearts of the audience and can cause the audience to think deeply, it is a good film.
Reason will always say that if Japan is allowed to make a movie of aggression against China, the Hundred Regiments War can also be made into a movie similar to the Falling of the Black Hawk that promotes its own humanity. The nobility of sacrifice and the interdependence of life and death between comrades-in-arms are set on the ugly faces of Japanese devils. Maybe it will make people from other countries look like me now and teary eyes again and again.
In the "Purple Sun" of that year, I was crying violently, which was a touch of a person. The current "Black Hawk", like a throat, seems to have a lot of sadness attached to the cells, which cannot be released, and it has been suppressed for a long time.
The old man said that when he really went to the battlefield, he knew that patriotism was all nonsense at that time. At that time, comrades-in-arms were more worthy of relying on than the country. Just like Spielberg’s "War Horse"
Old people don't like to watch war movies, he said, the facts are far more cruel than the filming. It is said that there are too many people who are really enough to move China without their names, and some are sacrificed because of the overall arrangement.
He knew it was the little-known war against Burma, but he never said more about it.
When I was young, I didn't understand why their comrades could let go of everything, saying that they had never experienced these battlefields together. They said, I don't understand.
Now think about it, those who can really entrust their lives in that era are true friends.
The two people back to back, handing their backs to each other, fighting together... it's beautiful.
The United States can turn cruel wars into the promotion of humanity. Such a film is much stronger than the mainstream media’s slogans of "We are justice" and "We are contributing to the world."
When I was young, watching movies has always divided people into good people and bad people. If I don’t understand, I just ask whether this person is good or bad. The war divides people into two opposites, but there is no good or bad. Some people think it is no war no peace, but some people must say that they have done something wrong to the refugees. There will always be a good reason for the start of a war. The United States always does this, as do many other countries. After all, what is the war for? It always arises from the greed of one party, but with what?
Right or wrong, everyone has their own standard of measurement in their minds.
People in each place have different opinions on the right and wrong of war, it just depends on the government's public opinion orientation. In the eyes of civilians, what they care about is their own interests. War destroyed their homes and ruined their oppressed lives. In the eyes of national leaders, what they care about is the interests of other countries, perhaps local resources. Perhaps it is the local strategic reserve.
The word war is cruel, neutral, and profound.
For Europeans, the starting point of World War II was Germany’s blitz of Poland; for Soviets, the starting point was Project Barbarossa; for Chinese, the starting point was the Lugouqiao Incident; for Americans, it was truly “neutral”. The fig leaf was removed and it was in Pearl Harbor.
The United States and China have both been enemies and wars with Japan, but the Japanese soldiers reflected in this film are not as hideous and ugly as in the Chinese Anti-Japanese War films. On the contrary, the people watching the film People can't help but appreciate their exquisite strategic deployment and selfless sacrifice in the face of war.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was indeed one of the most disgusting incidents during World War II. However, when the Americans as the victims performed this incident, they did not deliberately vilify the Japanese because of their vengeance or hatred. Instead, they restored the original strong combat power and combat spirit of the Japanese army.
On the other hand, when we look at Chinese anti-Japanese war films, we have all seen the big ones since we were young. The reverse angle in the film-the typical image of the Japanese, is to have a small beard with two horoscopes and call "Bage Yalu" in the mouth. His actions are rude and wretched. In the end, he was beaten up by our brave Eighth Route Army soldiers. Flee in a hurry.
When I was a kid, I was ignorant, and I really thought that all Japanese people are so virtuous. Now think about it, let’s not say that in the eighth year of the War of Resistance, there were several decent battles fought by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army (Aren’t they guerrillas there?), let’s just say that if the Japanese soldiers are really such an insignificant image, there is really no such thing. Discipline is casual and loose, such a large area of East Asia and Southeast Asia, he is a Japanese island, and he can beat it down! ?
During the second leg of the European battlefield, Germany was the strongest, the Allied forces successfully landed in Normandy and Hitler's incredible blind command, the final winner is uncertain
The same is true in Asia. In the end, the US had two bombs and the Soviet Union sent troops to the Northeast. Can East Asia and Southeast Asia defeat Japan on their own? Do you really think that Xiaomi with a rifle can beat a cannon and a cavalry? This is not a magical story!
But to this day, the directors of dang are still reluctant to face this problem.
A person who is unwilling to face his own weaknesses and shortcomings will never be able to make progress, because he has no way to know who he is.
In the same way, a nation that is unwilling to face up to its past facts cannot make progress, because they will only boast and be righteous!
At the end of "Pearl Harbor", President Roosevelt said: "We always think that we are invincible. The facts tell us how painful our conceit and pride are." Only when we have the courage to admit our mistakes can we realize it. It's really not enough; and the courage to face the opponent's strength and give the opponent objective and correct evaluation and performance is the basis for a person, a nation, and a country to gain the respect of the world!
Movies know no borders, and the shock from movies knows no borders. We suffered, But we grew stronger.
