The oppressive roar begins, as if the sound effects of "Dunkirk" are attached, setting the tone of the whole film extremely depressing; the clumsy numbers on the mechanical compass up and down, rendering restlessness and anxiety; rough metal under the rudimentary technology of the 1960s The distorted voice, as if death is knocking on the door every time; there is no obscure subjective perspective, one cannot see the full picture of history but catch a glimpse of intense sadness with the eyes of the individual. Talk about small individuals, history and individuals in big events in a completely personal way, who is the background on the stage, and who is the protagonist on the stage? That's not a dazzling leap in the rational development of science and technology, it's just an accidental by-product of absurd politics; it's not the bloody coronation of a hero, it's a man who has a mortal heart and is sure that he will never return, but accidentally becomes a legend Great irony and the extreme cruelty of life to small individuals. The world only remembers the light of your footsteps, and no one cares about your deep sadness. Even if human beings can cross the long distance of the moon and the earth, they still cannot cross the sadness of the human heart.
Leaving aside Chazelle, who is in the comfort zone of music, he uses a small perspective to describe the hearts of adults, and his narrative skills are remarkable. The on-site presentation of the aircraft test scene, the huge blank space for the treatment and death of the daughter, the few strokes of family and friends, photography, editing, sound effects, and soundtracks, the first half is almost full of full marks. However, with the repeated addition of background information and the increasingly unbalanced editing, it hindered the smooth expression of the emotions that had been stagnant in the first half, resulting in the second half, especially near the end, where the most explosive part could not spew out, anti-climax The plot design of the film makes the emotion lose its footing, and half of the tears are suddenly dried by the wind, leaving only half of the masterpiece, which is very sad.
