Different from the previous He-style works, the film did not make full use of the mysterious forests in Vietnam to once again express the relationship between people and the environment, but put a lot of brush and ink on the preparations of several prisoners of war to plan their escape, and put the suffering they suffered. The torture, the escape plan and the rebellion are all presented in every detail, and the passage through the forest only takes up less than one-third of the time. Even in this short period of time, the focus of the narrative is still the battle between the fugitives and the Vietnamese army and civilians. The forest has completely retreated into a silent background. As a meaningless element, in addition to reflecting the strong will of the protagonist Does not participate in any thematic composition.
The whole film makes people think that it is a sister chapter of "The Shawshank Redemption". The whole story is about people's persistence in hope and the courage to work hard for it. It not only conveys once and for all, "As long as you believe in hope and strive for it, life will be forever." Be kind to yourself" is the quintessential motto of an American "theme" movie. Especially at the end, which has a great national joy, the design cannot but be said to be extremely vulgar.
Although the former Herzog was never an angry youth and never had the ambition to use movies to encourage people to rebel, almost all of his works used some abnormal protagonists (dwarfs, outcasts, insane, adventurers, etc.) ) shows a state of life that is out of tune with the ordinary world. These "abnormal people" have broken through the numbness of modern society with some neurotic attacks, showing the world the proof that they are alive, and showing a kind of life passion different from the weak life. In "Seeing the Sun Again", although the protagonist "American Psycho" Christian Bale's performance is still insane, although the isolated prisoners of war must have a special vision for the world, but through these marginalized people, the director showed Instead, it is a propaganda of ordinary American-style optimism. The rebels only lie softly in one or two gimmick-like details, their eyes are dull, their actions are slow, and they have completely lost the sharp edge of the past.
