Unlike "Saving Private Ryan", Spielberg did not intend to make "War Horse" a full-fledged war film. The film revolves around "friendship" all the time, whether it is between people or people. With the horse, or between the horse and the horse, the meticulous polishing of the details in "War Horse" successfully made up for a small flaw in its narrative. It digs deeply into the small people who are suffering behind the war. It does not show the tragic in the blasting and the rain of bullets, but fills the interaction between the man and the horse with a touch of warmth through the performance of the actors. Although the movie is indeed too sensational, it is Accurately grasping human nature, through these emotions, Spielberg once again put the outlook on life and values on the table, so everyone on the battlefield is a loser, "War Horse" is no longer simply a war theme. The film, the emotion that is tied to everyone’s heart becomes a pillar that supports the film. After careful consideration, the film is full of irony, but its strong emotional structure obscures it, but anti-war is the core theme of the film.
According to Spielberg, the film is an inspirational movie. Although it has always looked at war with the vision of a horse, and made the movie deeply moving, it is still a bit far-fetched to say that it is inspirational. During the First World War, the number of motors killed in the entire European battlefield reached 10 million. This astonishing number really humiliated mankind. The protagonist "Joy" in "War Horse"-a horse who went to the battlefield under forced circumstances and left his good friend, is itself a manifestation of spurning human desires, just placed in the context of World War I Next, it becomes more prominent. Humans always love to put gold on their faces, and there are always countless excuses for sympathy. Through Joey’s vision, humans no longer have the qualifications to play "God." The soldiers who died on the battlefield are worth remembering. Fortunately, Spielberg softened these ironies. What it showed was a humanistic war. Even though the war was cruel and ruthless, it still could not stop emotions from spreading quietly in this turbulent period, because at this time Joey is not only It is fighting for friendship, it is also for its own life and dignity. Therefore, if you look at "War Horse" from this perspective, it appears extremely solemn and solemn, and this restores a real war.
The novels of "War Horse" are classified as "children's literature". However, in the movie, it appears extremely adult. Of course, it is still very simple, but people of different ages will have different experiences. This is Spielberg’s brilliance. The movie can be divided into several sections. It cuts out different meanings from different sections. There are not only petty citizens who are helpless in the face of war, but also soldiers who only survive on the battlefield. In fact, these characters Put together a very convincing vision of life. People under war can only live strong by relying on emotional bonds. This is the only life motivation given to people in the war era, and only this can maintain the meaning of life. Looking at "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" in the past, perhaps what it lacks is this kind of soul eulogy.
"War Horse" is not an exaggerated war movie. It is full of human salvation. Whether it is a French farmer, a German soldier, or a British citizen, they are all full of guilt, but the reason for forcing them to stand up is also around the despair brought to them by the war. In order to understand the meaning of life, "War Horse" will be reduced to a bad film. Fortunately, it is not a bad film. Therefore, behind the rigorous outlook on life and values, it continues to carry many meaningful emotions, which is not only diluted. The war was also cut from another angle and found a balance to think about the meaning of life, and these elements are concentrated on a horse, so it looks heroic, so it makes people moving.
With the majestic and majestic soundtrack of John Williams, "War Horse" highlights the characteristics that a blockbuster should have. Behind these characteristics, it uses the name of life to protest against the world and mankind. This is the "War Horse". "The true meaning.
