At the beginning of watching it, I was thinking, the director is really NB, how can he find such a young actor who looks like Christian Bale, after watching it for a while, I suddenly realized that I suddenly felt that I had passed through. In the film made in 1987, Bale was really a child at that time. I didn't expect that this dear friend also started as a child star. At the age of 13, his acting skills were basically set, and his frown and smile were exactly the same as when he was an adult.
In 2011, he returned to China in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and re-interpreted the participants in that war. I wonder how he felt? It is said that Steven Spielberg recommended him to Zhang Yimou. From the child who survived the war to the pseudo-priest hoping for a little something in the war, his characters are equally slick before and after. And in 2012, he came to China again, just to visit or try to rescue a blind man in captivity.
In the face of the war that caused the greatest harm to the Chinese, Steven Spielberg's perspective is fair. Although the roles of Chinese soldiers are lacking, the director's vision is to put The war brought the separation of life and death for Westerners. Therefore, the "I surrender" that little Jamie shouted to everyone is also in line with the attitude of Westerners in war. All benevolence, righteousness and morality are bullshit in front of guns and guns. Only the winner or loser brought by the stronger plane is the only truth. Jamie's reverence for the Zero, and the ultimate resolution of the war, what does Steven Spielberg in '87 seem to be trying to prove?
