When those old scenes of Shanghai were presented to my eyes again, and I heard a word or two of Shanghainese dialect, it reminded me that it had been half a year since I left Shanghai. At that time, Shanghai was the largest city in Asia, fashionable movies were being staged, adventurers from all over the world were panning for gold, and there was no such thing as Hong Kong.
As usual, the Anglo-Americans made a fortune in Shanghai, and the upper-class citizens of China served them as compradors, and the lower-class citizens worked as slaves and drivers in their homes, with big villas, big swimming pools, and endless green. Old-fashioned Ford cars, white people's carnival party.
In the white people's party, there was a Chinese who spoke fluent English, and was treated coldly because of his yellow skin. He said confidently that the Japanese will call, and in the end, the rest will be the Chinese, and none of you will be able to survive.
In the end, there were indeed Chinese people and a few American robbers. Under war, no one can maintain dignity.
With its epic grand narrative, the film shows the lives of citizens of various countries in war.
Chinese: People who work as servants in Jimmy's house, kindly serve the little master, the big master, loyal, hard-working, and even speak a few good English, but when the war burns down the master's house, they swarm and loot it and eat it up The food in the refrigerator, the large and small pieces of furniture were removed, JImmy ran home, saw the servant moving his house, ran up to ask, the maid walked quietly to his side, and suddenly shot him several times. A big mouth---this is facing a teenage child.
This servant also reminds me of Yao Lin, the maid of Jiabi's house in "Desperate Housewives". When her husband was arrested and she had to come out as a model to sell cosmetics, Yao Lin came over with a swagger, and she was going to accept the host's service at this moment. Gabriel told her while putting makeup on her:
"I'm a rich person, and I'll never be poor again in my life, you understand? And you, this is the most glorious moment of your life."
This is Spielberg's death . One of the humiliating episodes of my heart immortal.
In the refugee camp, the British quickly built hospitals and planted plants, while the Americans went to grab food from the British in the chaos.
The little protagonist in the film is really an admirable representative of the British - my wife and I said that if we want to have a son in the future, we must educate him to be brave, independent, and have a strong ability to survive.
He is a representative of the British, full of Robinson spirit, a gentleman who is willing to help others, and a gentleman who can bend and stretch. Although he is only a teenager, he knows life and survival far better than some adults.
He used all the time to study, to use all the time to escape, and after experiencing the baptism of suffering and war, he finally grew up and began to decide his own destiny.
When the mother's lullaby at the end of the film reminded me again, the kamikaze team members broke their wine glasses one by one and boarded the plane. American robbers' cars were rampant in Shanghai, and an English child, facing the sun, said loudly in Latin, you have been loved.
Spielberg is not just a big commercial director, except for the suffocating "Schindler's List", this film can be regarded as a sunny version of "Schindler's List", in Shanghai, Suzhou, down the Yangtze River , China's vast water village, a teenage British child, with his eyes, took care of the world's great citizens.
Children grow up and write all this, history will not be forgotten, history is always fair.
