This is a Hollywood inspirational film by Hernazog.
That's it, almost that's it. It is undeniable that Hernazog has an enviable foundation in the choice of camera positions and the composition of the shots. Just like the shot of the bombing of the village at the beginning of the film, it is beautiful, like more dazzling fireworks, but I don't. Don't think the people who were bombed felt the same way. And the mountains, rivers, bridges, and crops that the camera swept across had a natural beauty beyond the event itself.
However, the disadvantage of the film is that it is too egoistic, and the ego forgets the era and environment in which the incident is located, and the most essential conflict between the enemy and the enemy from the ideological aspect is hardly shown, just like almost all Americans or Europeans made Vietnam War movies. , Vietnamese, or Laotians are all reduced to symbols, and the subjective entry point of consciousness comes from white people, white people’s perspectives, and white people’s values. Even the torture of prisoners in this film is a reflection of white values. I am sure that the real torture of prisoners will not be so civilized, without the most real catharsis of human emotions, the cowardice of human nature and the distortion of abnormal state. There is no way to find out, only mechanical behavior, not even a few faces. Of course, the expression of white values I am talking about does not mean that all civilized white people abuse prisoners like this, and the fact is not the case. Take a look at "Taxi to the Darkness", or "Cain's Mark" , that may be the embodiment of the torture of prisoners that is closer to the real. The real and most cruel abuse is the spiritual destruction of the abused, and the embodiment of white values I mean refers to what the director, or the production group can accept, or The perceived level of prisoner abuse acceptable to the audience.
Aside from the era of the film, we find that it is still a complete film, and those so-called guards can also be Germans, Iraqis, or Afghans, and so on. In other words, the director's own film only focuses on the confrontation between the individual and the environment. It is true that a simple story of escape from the jungle is exciting, but when the colleagues on the warship welcome Dieter home, Did they remember where they came from? When the camera almost condemned the recording of Downey being hacked to death by the Vietnamese, did they remember the cannonballs that Dieter fired on the fighter plane, the incident itself was not simple , even if it's an adaptation of a true event.
When the film says, "I never thought about going to war I never thought about... Growing up watching the cruelty of war I just wanted to fly a plane," and Dieter's refusal to take part in "a corrupt and shameless American regime,"" When the "Confessions of Killing Innocent Children and Peace-loving Working Classes" were signed, it was not known whether it was a satire or a real German idea.
