While it was about to celebrate the New Year, I started watching David Lean’s film, and I finally reached this one today. Turning off the lights and looking at the monitor, the two hours and forty minutes of watching the movie was quite enjoyable. It was a really good movie.
It started with a flying bird and ended with a flying bird. Above the blue sky, soaring freely and unfettered, it was almost as if the wrong film was cut and mixed into the BBC's nature documentary.
After watching it, the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. There is almost no mention of God or God in the whole film, but the law is repeatedly mentioned. The law and order known as the foundation of civilization eventually led people to madness, "crazy, all mad". On the other hand, there seems to be a stronger power in the world—of course I’m not talking about screenwriters— —No hurry or slow, I have been walking at my own pace, almost ignoring the desperate fight, nothing more than scaring some bats, dyeing a pool of clear water red, the river retreating its water unscrupulously, and the birds hugging freely Its day.
Coincidence, not plan, dominates the direction of the film. Or it can be understood as the screenwriter deliberately avoiding the Hollywood protagonist's decision to take action and promote the rules of the plot.
The Americans ran off suddenly, escaped a shot by chance, fell into the river, and then met friendly locals by chance, and were found by a friendly rescue helicopter while drifting... Did not hide from the protagonist’s bullets. , And there was no effort after failure, and he hooked up with a beautiful nurse in the hospital, waiting to be discharged from the army and return to China. On the other hand, the four-person assault team parachuted directly to hang one, and there was no chance of rescue at all. After landing, he ran into a tour guide who pointed out that there were too many Japanese troops on the planned road and they could not go. The previous efforts to drive the ducks to second the Americans were in vain. After installing the explosives, the second one found that the river had receded and the fuse was exposed on the water surface. The British officer wanted to protect the bridge, but was hit by shells and destroyed the bridge himself. An unknowable mighty force has been disrupting their plans, what else can be said except for creating things and making people mischievous.
It may be an over-interpretation, but in the eastern rain forest where everything is mysterious, how can one not think about it when looking at the boundless bushes and stepping on the bottomless mud? Especially in the four-man commando team, there is also a young man with "excessive imagination".
When it comes to people, it may be more mysterious than the unknowable force of nature.
Japanese officer, this person puzzles me. From the beginning, the cruelty and the cruelty almost completely matches the image I expected, to the mid-segmental strong and middle-fashioned can be called arrogant concubine, and then to the end, the trance and the lack of a word as if he is a prisoner, even if he is not the thickest in the film The characters, at least the most curious ones.
When the British army sang and danced to celebrate the completion of the bridge, he deliberately inserted a narrative about him, writing letters, cutting his hair, and carefully putting a short knife into his coat pocket, almost like a laparotomy. At the bridge ribbon-cutting ceremony, he swung a knife to cut the ribbon, and silently retreated to the side, looking absent-minded. The commander of the British army walked proudly and looked at the bridge, as if the Japanese were a prisoner.
What is he thinking in his heart?
Are you going to self-discipline?
Because the British army is too outstanding and appears to have no leadership, has the samurai's self-esteem been hurt?
Because in fact, you can't complete the above commands on your own, do you think you are no longer worthy to serve the emperor?
Because I saw the gentleman's demeanor of the British army commander and sympathized with each other, I secretly decided to let him go, and then apologized to the emperor for his death?
...
There is no explanation in the film.
After that, he was called off the bridge by the British in a daze, walked sluggishly, and touched the pocket with a short knife on his chest in a panic. He asked about explosives with an unbelievable expression, and was stabbed to death. NS.
Let's talk about the two Englishmen, an aristocratic officer, and a slightly geeky explosive expert. At first, they were very flattering, positive and not very comprehensive, but in the end, these two, one disrupted the actions of his own army, and the other did not fire at the bridge as mentioned, but instead blasted mortars at him. People; one asks himself "what did I do?" and one shouts "I have to do that" to the cowering female porter.
Their transformation is obviously the focus of the whole film-at least everyone will see it-the so-called war distorts human nature.
The two have a very mature side. The officer has a sense of honor, is unyielding, and the law is supreme, just like the kind of gentleman described in the masterpiece. Explosives experts force the Americans into the gang without failing sharply. They are responsible and rational, and they are almost the protagonist of some mystery.
However, in the end, the officer did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the explosives expert appeared with a bit of urchin mentality.
The officer's mentality of always leaving something/pursuing excellence/very enthusiastic about his own work seems familiar, just like people's comments on artists. If there were no wars, what kind of person would he be? Will such a person spend his life in an ordinary life?
Hard to say.
But the war that destroyed everything gave him the opportunity to create something, something that might be "spread for six hundred years". He did it and succeeded. But obviously, he betrayed his country.
However, looking back, the war was initiated by the country, whether it was his country or not. During the war, people were forced to stand in line, blood and fire destroyed the ability to think, and the reckless judgment of whether friends or enemies ruled the hearts of the people. Who can remember that there is actually another you on the opposite side of the trench? They are all creatures named humans.
It's not whitewashing the officers, but if you are doing something absurd, how can you tell right from wrong from this chaos?
As for the explosives expert, he will probably continue to be his professor without war. As the only survivor of the four-man assault team, what happened to him. Everyone’s life is fascinating, but the war brought the lives of countless people to an abrupt end, without a follow-up, and made the lives of a few people a household name without any suspense.
You can't hit a bird even if you hit it around. What the hell is it?
After writing a few large paragraphs, it seems that they are all nonsense, which is basically out of the film level... In fact, I just want to say that fighting is the most annoying. It is better to turn off the lights and watch the movie together, even if it is a romantic action movie. It's also good.
