watching this movie, I went to IMDb to check it, and sure enough, the music was made by James Horner, magnificent and moving, this is him The typical style of the film, the music of the film is very good, this is essential for war films. Director Edward Zwick's works also include "Legends of the Fall" and "Shakespeare in Love", which seems to be a director worthy of attention.
The main theme of the film is dignity and glory. Black soldiers still work as slaves even if they wear military uniforms. Only when they step onto the battlefield can they gain respect and glory. This is the theme of the film. The protagonist, Colonel Shaw, is a real person in history, and his letters are still preserved at Harvard University.
There are three scenes in the film that impressed me. One is that Denzel Washington was whipped for violating military laws. When he took off his shirt, the black slave's back was already covered with scars, and the whip hit him again and again, but he always stared at Colonel Shaw stubbornly, and finally shed a tear. Why did he shed tears, who suffered so much humiliation since childhood? The reason was humiliation. When he put on a military uniform, took up a weapon, and fought for freedom, dignity, and his people, he was beaten again because of his own fault. This humiliation was unbearable. Denzel Washington performed very well in this scene. The camera took close-ups of his face. His expression went from stubbornness to twitching, and then to tears in his eyes, and finally the tears could not help but slip, and his performance was rich and touching. People's hearts, in the end, Denzel Washington also won the Oscar for best supporting actor with this film.
The second scene that impressed me was what Colonel Shaw said when he invited his subordinates: "There is more than rest and fight, sir, there is character, there is strength of heart." A group of hundreds of years Those who are called slaves, in their bodies, in their hearts, their families, and their history, are engraved with two words: "Humble". How to level this mark? There is only fighting, and they can’t get fighting. They can only be laughed at and humiliated. Just like when they were slaves, they slowly accumulate anger and courage, slowly brewing and erupting, when they are finally released on the battlefield. At that time, what can make them retreat? What can make them fear? What can stop them from moving forward?
The third scene that touched me was when Colonel Shaw asked the field reporters before the final battle: "If I should fall, remember what you see here." Then he let go of his horse and stood shoulder to shoulder with his soldiers. Stand together and rush towards the enemy's fortress. When they were suppressed in the trenches, everyone thought there was no hope and they failed. However, the 26-year-old colonel drew his pistol and shouted "54 Legion, charge!" , The bullet penetrated his body, and the leader of the black legion died. Behind him, countless angry slaves fought. They raised the flag of the Federation and launched a fierce attack on the enemy! Shaw fell. He and his black brothers were buried together, but the flag of the 54th Army never fell. Their heroic deeds were quickly spread across the country and moved President Lincoln. In the end, it was nearly 180,000. The blacks were drafted into the army, tilting the balance of war. Shaw and his soldiers became pioneers who broke free from the shackles and fought for freedom.
I often think of ordinary soldiers in epic battles, avoiding flying arrows or stray bullets while advancing, get down or find a place to hide when they stop, and do their best to survive in hand-to-hand combat. Guys, do you know that they will be celebrated by later generations? Do you know someone will write a book about the cause they are doing? Did you know that they will appear in movies and novels? Do you know that every little courage, every trivial survival and victory, are on the balance of the times, adding a weight to the side of justice and liberation? I guess they didn't know it at the time, but after all, how can people win the respect of society? Just as those World War II veterans have reasons to be proud, they "Made the world a little better." That's enough.
After writing this, I think again, how can our generation win our dignity and glory? In his inaugural speech, JFK won the dignity and glory for his generation: "The torch has been passed on to a new generation of Americans. This generation was born in this century, has been tempered in wars, and has suffered in difficult and difficult peace times. Cultivation, they are proud of our country's long tradition-they don't want to see or allow the human rights that our country has always promised and are still guaranteed at home and abroad to be gradually destroyed. "What should our generation do? I believe that we will be a great generation, and we will be a generation that will change China. When the horn of the Republic’s call is sounded, people in the 1980s know how to do it.
Everyone, every generation, yearns for dignity, desires glory, freedom, and dignity. These basic human rights that have been announced to the world in 1789, many of us have not yet possessed, looking for glory in the pursuit of liberation, This may be the highest theme of the film. People will die. "Lord, please let my family know that I die facing the enemy!" After the
Civil War, the flag of dignity was planted on the continent on the other side of the Pacific. All the people in the world looked at it from a distance, admired it, and then took it back to their hometown with blood-stained tired hands.
May it fly high forever.
