Details
00:22:19: Tommy asks him to drive, and his father takes the opportunity to sneer at him. "What made you feel so responsible all of a sudden." "Who will stand up to mourn for you after you die?" It can be seen that the social thinking of many people is extremely ridiculous. His father seemed to think that the value of a person's life was only reflected after his death, and several people came to mourn for him. And this kind of death is based on winning glory for the country and vying for the interests of weak countries. Tommy's rebuttal is very strong, he believes that Sam's death and his father are inseparable. What their father instilled in them was the idea of a strong country and the idea of a military country. Their fathers also tried to gain pride from their sons. And yes, pride is also an original sin.
00:30:30: The relationship between father and son has eased. Tommy volunteered to renovate his brother's kitchen.
00:56:30: Sam kills his fellow man. His expression was terrifying and extremely brutal.
01:22:00: The youngest daughter was anxious to open the gift, and the eldest daughter said, "that's wait for uncle tommy." Then she saw Tommy walk into the house with a beautiful new girlfriend. Wyatt.
The youngest daughter is touted by everyone, while the eldest daughter is not so lucky. In her loneliness, she was poking at the cake by herself. Unexpectedly, her father warned her in a low voice at this time: "stop playing with your cake." and stared at her fiercely. Of course Sam is also very depressed. Tommy's girlfriend said, "I don't think that anybody is trained to shoot somebody." "nobody can really be trained to watch someone die." What didn't happen was that when the eldest daughter rubbed the balloon to make a noise and Sam squeezed it out, the eldest daughter cried: "couldn't you just stay dead? you are just mad coz mom rather sleep with uncle tommy than you.mom and uncle tommy have sex all the time." Then, uncle tommy's expression was very calm at this time.
This is the fuse that intensifies the final conflict. Sam has been suppressing this inner guilt and distrust and suspicion of his wife and brother. He loved his wife and brother so much, in order to come back to see them, Sam endured the humiliation and survived. The most unacceptable thing for him and also unacceptable for others was that he killed his own subordinates with his own hands. This has long shattered his heart. Finally, the suppressed feelings finally broke out.
Thought content: Criticize war
War tore people apart. Sam, who was originally kind and healthy, personally killed his subordinates during his imprisonment. Of course he wanted to go home. He loves his wife so much, a warm home does give people the courage to survive. But his survival is based on the death of others. This incident left a huge psychological shadow on him.
People who are related by blood often have a subtle psychological intuition. Sam immediately felt the hidden love of uncle and sister-in-law. He struggled to survive, but what awaited him was "betrayal". This is something he cannot understand and bear. Eventually he was arrested and jailed. The film is a powerful indictment of war through the reinvention of the brothers' humanity. War can destroy people's good intentions, will, etc., and a peaceful social environment can also benefit a person.
Artistic features:
In the last night, Sam's roaring incisively and vividly expresses the hysteria buried in the depths of human nature.
Sam's physical wounds and hideous expression show the external trauma caused by the war in detail.
The conversation between the subordinate's wife with red eyes and Sam, there is a gap between the two, but after all, they can only understand and sympathize with each other, it is all a last resort, not a deliberate mistake. The side describes the damage caused by war, and the damage is everywhere.
There are two logical inconsistencies in the movie. .
For a girl so young to say things like Mommy and Tommy slept together all the time. Does she understand the deep meaning of it? . . Girls of that age can't understand the encroachment of sex on love. Besides, how could she be acutely aware that Sam was jealous of his brother? How did she know he was suspicious of Tommy and his wife? After all, it is a movie recommended by Teacher Peng Bo. I would like to say that the level is limited and there are not many requirements. .
