Nowadays, the only person who has a high prestige in the American film industry and dares to speak is the old cowboy Clint Eastwood. At the age of 76, he still maintains such a strong desire to create, and his spirit is not inferior to that of young people. He is really old and strong, which is admirable. What does the old man want to say this time? Heroism, the backbone of the American spirit. The prototype of the film is a controversial memoir. After various memories interspersed by different people, the facts gradually become clear. Heroes are something we create, something we need. People need some fictional things to satisfy themselves, vanity, excitement, and pride Pride, the state machine is the same, domination, victory, etc., etc., this is the natural law of human society, cruelty, contradiction, reality, helplessness.
From the critic's point of view, the film is a 4-star masterpiece, and there is nothing wrong with it in all aspects. With the assistance of Steven Spielberg and CG, the battle of Iwo Jima was also filmed according to the standard of "Saving Private Ryan", but the big scene was just right, and the war never deviates from the theme of the film.
From the perspective of ordinary viewers, the actual perception is 3 stars, which fluctuates due to different age situations. A 60-year-old man sitting next to me has been sobbing in the middle and late stages. I am a little puzzled. Just as many people think "Million Baby" is very touching, it may be because I don't like too orthodox college spirit. It's a good movie, but there's no denying it's a good movie!
