Used to watching Hollywood blockbusters. Look back at the films made in these niche countries, regardless of the rhythm of the film. Movement of the lens. background music. The dialogue of the characters always makes people not so comfortable to watch.
When the first picture, a close-up of the face of a female reporter being held hostage by terrorists, appeared. I thought the blockbuster was about to start, but the battle scenes that followed were stretched and ended in a hurry, with only the music still being retaken incessantly. The BGM in the film is too strong and straightforward, like someone yelling in your ear to make you cry or make you laugh. The scene and movement of the shots are still not enough if they are measured by a war scene. There should be no close-ups. The camera that should have shaken shoulders does not. The upgraded lens is misplaced and other problems are exposed
What is justice that the film has been discussing? In the face of constant questions from female reporters, whether to evacuate or stay to protect innocent civilians after completing the task. Reason and conscience are put on the stage for constant struggle and struggle. To be an ordinary soldier, completing the task is an understandable mission. But his conscience told him that he should stay. No matter what choice you make, I think it can be forgiven. Therefore, the final decision should be the biggest torture to the heart of every member of the special forces. Therefore, the emotional foreshadowing in the early stage must be sufficient, and there must be different voices in the team. For example, at the beginning, I thought that the task was very easy, and when I finished it, I could go back to reunite with my family. There may also be those who will be honorably discharged for their last mission. Or determined to die in battle to be company with a dead brother. Or just met a girl. The wonderful life is about to start. Or an iron-blooded man who is mentally indestructible and regards his battlefield as his own life. And shouldering the mission of all brothers is to bring every brother home. The inner transformation of character types like these when they accept their final decision.
So relatively speaking, another story line in the film shows the brotherhood and friendship between the two people. Not a deep portrayal of others. So the two storylines didn't end up merging into one, and there was no final unity in the ideas that were meant to be expressed. Waited until the end of the movie. The death of the captain became their saddest pain, and the other team members did not treat the same. I'm referring to the director's play arrangement. We have seen many scenes of war. So how to make it more special and more emotional, this is what a real director needs to do.
In fact, the most worthy of mention in the film is the most realistic state. What the instructor told them before they went out on a mission. If you thought that when you came here, you would get applause, flowers and applause, and you would stand out, then you have come to the wrong place? You will be forgotten by history. If you are recognized. You have failed. You think you have the most glorious mission, I tell you, the most important on the battlefield. It's about making sure every one of your fellow citizens can come back safely, and that's what we're really trying to do.
At the end of the film, they accomplish what they thought was impossible. Overcame an enemy force ten times larger than his own. But it didn't leave the audience to think more.
