Wrong battlefield, wrong expression

Many people have made up their minds to finish watching this film about the Battle of Guadalcanal Island, but it doesn't work. This bad film is really too procrastinating. Although it has been a long time for war films to be popular under the banner of "anti-war" and "humanity" and is also very marketable, they must be placed in a suitable context. Unfortunately, Guadalcanal in 1942 was not such a suitable background. The well-trained volunteers of the First Marine Division joined the Battle of Guadalcanal with hatred of the Japanese invaders. Although there has been a series of bloody battles around Guadalcanal’s sea dominance and air dominance, the ground battle for Henderson Airport has no suspense from the beginning to the end, especially when compared to the bloody beachhead of Beitio, the fire trap of Iwo Jima~ The Japanese army on Guadalcanal is more of a cup like Yimu. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers carried Yusaka rifles and a small amount of ammunition. The most powerful weapons were basically 60mm mortars and grenades. Facing the intensive firepower of the US army, they fell one by one on the dry riverbed west of Henderson Airport... This was basically the main scene of the land battle on Guadalcanal. But such a battle that the U.S. army had won in such a heart-warming manner was stunned to portray it as the Vietnam War... It was too outrageous. More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers died on Guadalcanal Island. Later, the Japanese soldiers who starved to death were thousands of people. A group of begging Japanese soldiers can beat the U.S. military to pretend to be sick and unwilling to attack, which is too nonsense. To paraphrase a well-known saying that has been misunderstood for many years, to express anti-war, choosing Guadalcanal is the wrong battlefield and wrong expression. Add some content. In fact, from a film point of view, the thin red line is not bad, a little bit lengthy. And it's also exquisite for props. But I don't like it for personal reasons. Similar to the bomb disposal unit, this film is actually a literary film dressed in a war film. I don't like this type of film very much. And I do feel that the description of the Marines in this film is too shabby, at least in the first half. Didn’t HBO also launch a miniseries last year? The focus of the first few episodes was on Guadalcanal, but when you look at that movie compared with this one, don’t you think it’s not the same thing. In addition, I think that sometimes people’s first impressions are very important. When I was in school, I liked the content of the Pacific War. I also read a little book. I had my own impressions of the Battle of Guadalcanal. So I saw the film about Guadalcanal and the Vietnam War. Like, naturally I feel disgusted. In addition, I first knew that this film was also from a military publication. It was supposed to be about the Crimean War. It mentioned that the British infantry line of defense was short of troops, so it formed a "thin red

    The film was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Cinematography, Sound, Editing and Score at the 71st Academy Awards. Poetic anti-war film, but bad in the background of the story. There is nothing wrong with being anti-war, but it is against World War II. Just imagine, what would the world be like if the Allies did not resist in this war and let the Axis powers ravage it? ! If this film was made by Japan, the country that started World War II, it would be a big cheer.

    The Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II, the dialogue is indeed as described in the introduction, almost esoteric, the war is very cruel... I just ordered the original book from Zhuoyue, and I look forward to it when it arrives.
