THE LONGEST DAY———Hurt my heart with low-key dullness

Angie 2021-12-22 08:01:08

As a natural phenomenon before the arrival of midsummer, the "rainy days" of consecutive days should not have "conspiracy" elements in it, but it can be an orderly pattern when snow disasters, derailments, hand, foot and mouth disease, magnitude 8 earthquakes, and floods in the south are in order. When it happened around us, the drizzle outside the window seemed to be infected with a subconscious sign. Not wanting to let my thoughts follow the pessimistic route, I simply pulled out an old movie from 1962 from the drawer, hoping to use the convoluted image to divert my anxiety about the real dilemma. But things are far from the "self-righteous" I imagined, <>, it didn't make me completely forget where I was.

Those who have never watched this movie may not believe that this war-themed movie has brought me unstoppable desires, which began to spread from the three seemingly confessions in the film: 1. John has a long beard; 2. Hurt my heart with low-key dullness; one dead, one crippled, one lost, this is war...

1. John has a long beard-I did not expect June 1944 The Normandy landing on the 6th turned out that there was such a "foreplay".

When the camera was aimed at the French puppet mayor for the first time, the mayor's wife also brought the breakfast that had been prepared to him. The mayor's dismissive expression did not give a full explanation for the tastelessness. Under that stiff face, there is always a forbearance that is not easy to show. It wasn't until such a nonsensical character close-up repeatedly came on the radio-"John has a long beard", "John has a long beard", "John has a..." His expression began to gradually gradually Enriched, excited pupils, cheerful mouth corners, and slightly trembling facial muscles, liberated the blood of the whole body. The mayor, who had been dormant for a long time, could finally raise his head and give himself an order. that's all! The confrontation outside hadn't had time to take the posture, and the horn of the return attack had already begun to return to the dawn from the inside.

2. Hurt my heart with low-key dullness-it will be carried forward along the whole line of the French guerrillas

When the German intelligence agency had intercepted and realized the seriousness of the phrase "injury my heart with low-key dullness", the German garrison commander was still playing bridge with his subordinates with his legs upright, and said proudly. He wrote: "I have lived long enough." This indifferent state is the prophetic precursor of "Whoever God wants to perish, he must first make her crazy". From this point of view, it is not surprising that the handful of prawns and crabs who regard the Allied airborne paratrooper advance forces as "harassment". Those German foresight prophets who had a good understanding of the Allied landing in Normandy, with the gimmick of not disturbing Marshal Rommel's nap, it was almost logical to watch Eisenhower become famous.

Turn around and look at the Allied forces behind bars, the Germans may also find some comfort in their failure. The live-action version of the Airborne Advance Force and the “dummy version of the Airborne Vanguard” descended from the sky along Germany’s weak skyline (there were only 2 German resident aircraft in the Normandy Landing Campaign). The situation after landing was deliberately arranged by the director. In order to: 1) be hung on a building or roadblock, let it be fate, and let it be slaughtered. 2) If you meet with the French guerrillas late, you should unite inside and outside, and work together. 3) It is also most of the bad luck, falling into the enemy beforehand. Before they had time to raise their heads and have a face-to-face encounter with this strange city, they had set up the strangulation zone. The rain of bullets ended the whole meaning of life as soon as they landed. Fortunately, those who survived can still teach the pre-war supervisor's words and deeds. The rote memorization was so familiar, thinking that the director had set the best foreshadowing for the details of the "two-tone castanets as the instructions for the internal joint code" after landing. The dramatic shot was thus black and humorous— ——The Allied paratrooper (A) who separated from the team stared at the wind and grass not far in front with a high degree of vigilance, and then took out the "teacher" tricks. After two castanets, the other party followed up and made the theory. The first reaction was absolutely accurate. The paratrooper (A) greeted the death's muzzle calmly, and when he fell, the opponent subconsciously loaded the bullet again. The sound of a hit with the castanets was finally given. This fatal misunderstanding was a reasonable explanation. It also positioned an unexpected ending for this epic war movie.

3. One was dead, one was crippled, and one was lost — one All become slaves of desire

The trend of history is always going forward, and there is no time to turn back. It only left the witnesses of history with the feeling of looking forward and backward. At the end of the film, after the Allied forces used the corpses of the army to break through the last roadblock of the German army, the director with ulterior motives wiped the blood-stained shots to be similar to cold spotlessness. In Normandy, which has been ruined by the war, when the only language of communication between people has turned into a ruthless bullet, the human situation has also been blended into such a white picture: in a corner of the village, a crippled man was crippled. The American soldiers killed the German soldiers they encountered. Exhausted, he leaned against the wall and stared at the body. An English boy hiding and hiding with a gun, accidentally witnessed the confrontation between the murderer and the slain for the first time in his life. The blurred eyes of the British recruits seemed to be unable to distinguish the difference between the enemy and the friend. So much so that it ignores the'root' problem of the deceased wearing the boots backwards.
In the dull air, there are low-key faces hidden. Some are dead, some are lame, and some are lost. This is a brief description of the war at that time. Calm down and take a look at the current situation. Maybe you can also take a seat. At least I am the "victim"...
