1. Exaggerated performances in fixed shots, all these shots together feel very stiff. For us who are used to seeing the flexible lenses of today's Hollywood, this technique is particularly old. But the movie is not inferior to today's movies in terms of the sound effects and scenes of the war, as well as the long shot of a person flying across the battlefield. I don't know if today's war movie shooting mode is derived from this, if it is, I think this is the reason why this movie has become a classic.
2. A postman has changed from an ordinary person to a person who is arrogant and annoying. The movie does not explain what he experienced, it is too face-to-face. Another Facebook character I really like is Carter who stole the pig. The car drove away and he went up to pose to pick up the pig. When he went back, the students shouted to stand at attention and scared him so much that the pigs threw away. Some little humor. Later, he taught the new recruits about battlefield knowledge. This kind of abstracted amiable person is particularly approachable on screen.
3. A group of children and students were encouraged to go to the battlefield. The first sentence they asked the veteran was, where is our rich wine castle? A bit ignorant and childish. Old Carter said, what's wrong with you, you gave up school to join the army here. Later, the protagonist Paul returned to the classroom at that time. The same teacher and the same enthusiastic students looked at the soldier who came back from the battlefield with eager and innocent eyes just like they did back then. The teacher asked him to say two words of honor. He turned his head and the camera came in front of him. The director wanted to tell the audience what he said. War is killing each other, killing each other and surviving.
5. It's interesting that cigarettes can become currency among a group of men. Cutting the wire and swimming across the river to the French woman's house reminded me of war horses, because a horse was entangled in the barbed wire and the two sides ceased fire, and the French and German soldiers exchanged their surplus beer and cigarettes at the border of the river. . It's a badly told story, and then it's Christmas. It means that religion is the bridge between people, it can remove hatred and create peace. Strong propaganda meaning.
6. Talk about a few impressive pictures, the tension and collapse in the trenches of the air-raid shelter, the rout and counterattack accompanied by their respective artillery support on the busy line, knocking off the top of the wine bottle directly and then passing one person to take a sip, a pair of good shoes changed to a different one. People wear, Paul murdered in the trenches and tried to save him but failed and began to repent.
7. The German soldiers in the movie all speak English. When they meet a French woman, they cannot understand the language. What is the difference between French and German in reality?
8. In Western film and television works, churches are used to treat the wounded during wartime, and nuns work as nurses.
9. The men in the rear said to Paul, who came back from the battlefield, we leave the best to the soldiers, you must beat the French to pieces, you don't know the big picture, you don't know the details, you can't judge. How do you make this soldier react? They said to Paul, your duty is to risk your life, and you will be held in high esteem.
10. A soldier on the front line experienced the war firsthand, saw the cruelty of the war, and almost lost his life. When he said he didn't want to fight, he was called a coward by young people and pointed fingers by middle-aged people. He returned to the battlefield and caught the butterfly with his hands, but was killed by a sniper in the distance. In a situation where you want to reach out and touch peace but cannot, there is no mercy in war, there is only life and death.
