I have been baptized by Band Of Brothers before, moved by Tai Chi flag, shocked by Brave Heart, and honed by many real scenes in many war films so that I can look directly at the bloody camera without evasive. I thought I would be strong enough to watch this film. The result was very good. I was not frightened, but I felt very worried.
The moment of anxiety was to see Captain Miller's trembling hand.
As the protagonist of the film, Captain Miller has an extremely positive image. He is brave, courageous, resourceful, compassionate to subordinates, obedient to superiors, without complaints, and retains the most basic principles of humanity in cruel wars. Such a character does not lose sight. Kind and approachable, the screenwriter and actor together portrayed him in a very three-dimensional and profound manner.
The hand that trembles from time to time betrayed everything and exposed everything. Why is Captain still trembling after all the battles? He should have tasted the blood and accustomed to killing. Shouldn't he have the fearless spirit and the courage to see death as home?
Because he is a person in the full sense, a person of flesh and blood and emotions, fear and sadness, anger and impulse, all reason, calmness and calmness are tools used to suppress the relative feelings. On the battlefield, all emotions are buried, all feelings are numb, but as long as people are still alive and fighting, this depressive torture will accompany every moment.
As a result, this trembling hand entangled all feelings and became a channel for venting. This is an unconscious vent. Captain is still the Captain who can make good judgments, the Captain who took the lead, the Captain who silently hides his emotions, or the Captain who stood up at the critical moment. It’s just that we know better about the reasons behind everything he does. It’s not a great noble ideal, or a beautiful and touching enthusiasm. It’s just a trivial prayer — reunion with my family — which is also the ultimate goal of Saving.
People who have experienced wars say that this movie is the most faithful description of the battlefield. To be hit is to be hit, a fatal one, fall down, and clean. The extra struggles in the past war films are just to arouse people's compassion.
The more real it is, the more cruel it often means.
When the gunpowder smoke clears, how many pairs of hands will be so trembling to look for their close relatives and friends. The cemetery on the French soil is only the tip of the iceberg of this war.
The discussion about the value of the eight pairs in this film is still controversial today.
Death makes everything equal, but why wait until death? Isn't life itself equal?
