Of course not afraid of death is great, but the courage to live is also worthy of respect

Some people actually commented that this film is "a mediocre story, no passion, no suspense, and no splendid part. I just watched it after I saw it. It's like drinking a bowl of porridge except rice and water." I haven't been so disappointed once. I deleted the 1G movie after watching it for 30 minutes. It's much more disgusting than "The Rest of the Desert Island". I just think the phrase "cold feet" can be scary. It's a movie without passion. "

It's disgusting that these people who see everything as a blockbuster can only say things like this, and they also put on a well-informed look.

The plot is not to be said. It is probably about a German pilot on the US aircraft carrier Ranger during the Vietnam War who was shot down on the first mission, and then how to lead several other detained US pilots to escape from the detention center of the Viet Cong in Laos. . First of all, I do not agree with the fact that several American films I watched, whether they were reflections on the Vietnam War or those that promoted the Vietnam War, all portrayed the Viet Cong as a group of people who only knew how to burn, kill, loot, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and said disgusting words. Monkeys (of course, now they are monkeys too, and their words are really disgusting); while beautifying themselves as a savior spreading democracy, but supporting the corrupt puppet regime of South Vietnam, Lao Mei is really thick-skinned, even their own reporters have exposed the US military And the looting and abuse of the people and the prisoners of the Viet Cong by the South Vietnamese soldiers, probably because they in turn put their own actions on the Viet Cong, in order to win the support of the domestic people for the Vietnam War. I don't know how this method of aggression in the name of democracy is fundamentally different from the European Crusades.

Closer to home, the protagonist of the film, Dieter Dengler, still impressed me deeply. He never gave up hope of escaping from beginning to end. This strong willpower is in stark contrast to the cowardice of several other prisoners of war (of course, the other prisoners of war have been imprisoned for two years, and their spirits are on the verge of collapse). Dieter eats bugs, hides rice, steals nails and prying handcuffs, digs the floor and digs the walls, takes off the sentry, escapes into the rainforest, and avoids the pursuit of the villagers and the Viet Cong, all for the ultimate rescue. I believe that most people would choose to give up under the circumstances at the time, either to die, to be caught, or to commit suicide (I have imagined this scenario more than once, and do you know what the rainforest means? Of course, if it is left in the Amazon That's not even more fun).

I also read a blog that forgot who, which talked about the difference between China and the United States, or the heroism of the East and the West. People in the East generally consider it a hero to sacrifice one's own life, while in the West it is a feat to save one's life to the best of his ability. I thought it was ridiculous at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems that many films are indeed promoting this spirit. Not being afraid of death is of course great, and being brave to live is equally worthy of respect. Conversely, despairing suicide or trying to survive, these are all cowards.

    The opening scene of the plane bombing was treated very beautifully...but the subsequent crashes, including the arrest, etc., were very happy...-. -.... It wasn't until after being locked up in a concentration camp that the atmosphere gradually became as it should be....but...Although the film involves a lot of bridges and events...but it is not strong and deep... The result is that emotions are too cheap.. A whole chowder.. After reading it, I have an idea in my mind: Bale can really endure hardship... This is more than the crazy weight loss in the mechanic. It's nothing less than...

Rescue Dawn quotes

  • Squad Leader: You're gonna be Spook's wingman. You think you can handle that?

    Dieter: I could not ask for a better man, sir. But, please, could I ask you a question?

    Squad Leader: Go ahead.

    Dieter: You know, Spook is such a goddamn daredevil, could you please order him not to try too hard to die for his country, but rather to let the son-of-a-bitch on the other side die for his instead?

  • Dieter: [for his birthday] What kind of champagne is this?
