Even people who say "I love you" to you may only love who they want. "Someone came to praise you for the worst day of your life". On that day, in order to save the captain, he fought the enemy meleely and slashed the enemy with his hands. However, that didn't stop the trigger of the Captain's fate. No one wins, at that moment, everyone surpasses themselves, but everyone loses.
We all knew that he would definitely return to the battlefield, but Ang Lee led us into his heart like peeling an onion, just like we all knew that Wang Jiazhi would definitely let Mr. Yi go, but Ang Lee led us to peel the Wang Jiazhi's heart, look at what happened, just like the windmill on the head of the rickshaw, it keeps turning with the wind, panic and mechanical, fate and reincarnation, helplessness and despair...
And Li An himself is the one who wants to explore The difference is that Lynn is a 19-year-old who has unlimited possibilities in his inner world. Once he enters the war, he cannot turn back because of fate. He has a home but cannot return. If he refuses to return. In the battlefield, can I only go to Burger King to work? To face the life of a bottom man with no hope, to endure all the injustices in this world, to face his powerless mediocrity and embarrassment, to face endless panic and despair...
A hero who has been honored, a hero What should have been the much-anticipated football halftime show, he had a tougher day than the day the squad leader died in battle. But he met a more absurd and desperate world, the dead fat men who mocked their homosexuality with hot dogs and burgers, the provocative construction workers, the cheerleaders who were full of enthusiasm but useless, and even the dancers would call him a soldier and a devil ...
The national anthem, which is filled with all emotions, was played, and tears fell. What flashed in his mind was the scene of the newly-acquainted girlfriend and others rolling in bed, but all the excitement and excitement of the celebration scene made the nerves disappear. Frail, he kept trying to escape back to the battlefield. In his heart, because of his sister's entanglement against his return to the battlefield, and the fear of life and death, despair made him prefer to go with his fate or die again.
Advocating peace and advocating a country of heroes, and political correctness turned all praise into hypocrisy, like fireworks bursting all over the sky, empty and fleeting, the so-called spirit that transcended life and country, was so unbearable at that moment. Everyone who needs you to fight to the death is like everyone who needs you to celebrate. They pretend to praise and sympathize with you, they ridicule you and mock you, and they can't leave your lover even for a minute. Because of your so-called heroic halo and your skin, no one pays attention to your inner embarrassment and despair.
As a soldier, he can only be vigilantly called a killing machine on the battlefield. He can only passively conform to the inertia of fate, choose comrades who are in the same class and say, I love you, they jointly choose to point their guns at Iraqis who may be civilians, and at the same time he chooses to say goodbye to a dinner with politics Tear apart the disputes, the home that seems to be sullen, say goodbye to all the lost possibilities that you will face when you stay.
A nineteen-year-old adult who has no way back and is surrounded by war, he will give all his youth to the meaninglessness he has long recognized. He will return to the battlefield where he can't escape bullets, blood fog, and bombs every moment, waiting for the trigger that may be destined in his fate.
He will take the slaughter as his own responsibility, and he will no longer fear self-blame and panic in countless massacres. This is his irreversible fate. This is his life as a technical soldier, the life he has to continue to face if he chooses.
Like each of us, there is no escape from the linear trajectory of life. In any case, choose to return to the trajectory of life, or choose to die, and he combined these two choices. I don't know if we are coercing life or life is coercing us, but once we hit the road, we have to keep going and keep losing.
Saying goodbye to the unrecoverable past and bearing the anxiety of loss is part of growing up. It is great that Ang Lee has done such a stream of consciousness work so restrainedly.
