"Honor. Courage. Responsibility. Sacrifice" is the main theme of this film. This is a spiritual dogma that has long been far away from the world under the breeding and coverage of pan-liberal ideology since the Vietnam War. After 9/11, the United States, like during World War II, awakened from the lazy life of arrogance, luxury and licentiousness, and re-examined its own values and ideology. While conducting retaliatory fights overseas, a series of emergency legislation and propaganda on the theme of literature and art have also been implemented in the country. The three films mentioned above are all masterpieces of this period. Not only did they gain considerable box office results, they also had a certain mental impact on the United States and the world.
"Hart's War" uses clever clues to tell the story of a German prisoner-of-war camp where American prisoners of war were held by Germany during World War II. There have been many movies with similar backgrounds, and they are nothing more than straightforward homogenous content such as prisoners of war escape + resistance. The unconventional thing about the film is that a plan to organize prisoners of war to persist in resistance and do everything possible to destroy the enemy's military factory and escape is covered up with a seemingly racially discriminatory incident; against McNamara, one of the main lines The colonel first suppresses and then promotes, and finally amplifies his personality and produces a convincing heroic image.
The whole film has been seen near the end, as the audience is still in the dark by the "racist" human contradiction with the German prisoner of war camp commander. With a mindset that it’s irrelevant, the murder of prisoners of war is regarded as an entertainment topic; the Germans in the film enjoy this process very much and provide Tom Hart with resources to enrich the entertainment process and add dramatic elements. The audience was attracted by the conflicts of human nature displayed at this stage, both entangled in the colonel's seemingly cold-blooded war justice logic and moved by Tom Hart's enthusiasm for breaking racial prejudice under special pressure. The conflict at this time is just a cover. The joking of the German colonel, the cold-bloodedness of the American colonel, the privileges of the white prisoners of war, the black prisoners of war who have been wronged but accept their fate, the spiritual sublimation of the dudes...It turned out to be all foreshadowing, only for the last-minute theme. break out. The entire seemingly serious but absurd trial is all an American colonel's concealed arrangements, and the tactics are so good that they are worthy of a four-generation military family from West Point (the background introduction of Colonel McNamara through the use of prisoners of war in the film).
The sense of honor is the core of courage, and the sense of responsibility must be sacrificed. This is the positive connotation of human nature that people in the world have always avoided. When the white prisoner of war Hart and the black prisoner of war Lincoln each made noble choices and prepared to sacrifice themselves to perfect others, which had touched the hearts of the audience, the last appearance of the American colonel had all the glory. The audience's tribute to Hart and Lincoln turned into the greatest touch to the true heroes of the film. How could they not understand the theme of "honor, courage, responsibility, and sacrifice" that the film tells you.
"We were Warriors" with a background in the Vietnam War talked about courage, and "Chains Escorts" with a background in the Iraq War talked about honor. The War of Hart with a background in World War II will "honor. Courage. Responsibility. Sacrifice" comprehensively. Presented in front of the audience. This can not only be seen as the personal success of a few screenwriters in artistic expression, but a mature cultural system that has been able to perform at key points. In the Chinese words, "the world is insightful, and the human relationship is learned. "The weightlifting is light, thick and thin.
The United States is the most successful example of the transplantation of the Old World civilization to the New World, no matter how much the civilization system has been instructing the Old World countries or even the original suzerain country after the victory of the competition, or the universally recognized New World’s rich resources and unique geographical conditions have given it tremendous development. Space, the core of successful civilization is actually the same. Why can't our literary and artistic works radiate these positive influences that have been dismissed as "Hollywood commercial films"? What key elements are missing in our film and television works? Some people blame Western civilization for brainwashing with "universal values", why we are so easily deceived by the so-called "universal values". The United States itself has not been brought down by "universal values." Their literary and art workers have always been able to produce works full of positive energy. On the other hand, China itself has produced nutritious "Chicken Soup for the Soul" over and over again and occasionally produced one or two works. A dogmatic film with a strange and unresonable "main theme". We don't have to worry about the authenticity of the content of the film, but to reflect on what went wrong with our propaganda of our beliefs.
I am not afraid to watch these films. It is these films that have given me immunity to "universal values", rather than a series of big productions made by the Central Propaganda Department, people’s artists, and national artists. The more it is, the easier it is to get the disease of "universal value". Chinese culture does not lack positive elements. On the contrary, the history of the United States is very short. The promotion of positive energy basically relies on logically infused and interlocked "fabrication"; however, China can interpret real good people and good things as fake ones. It is difficult for people to accept it, so that the audience has a rebellious psychology and embarks on the road of no return to cater to the "universal value".
Perhaps this is just a shortcoming that the national industrial temperament has not been cultivated simultaneously under the rapid industrialization. Science and technology have not completely got rid of the catch-up stage, and we have no time to take care of the solid construction of the spiritual field. A small number of people who are rich and small are still in the first stage of the outbreak, but they have the power to allocate resources, but they are still a spiritual face. "Universal values" and true human glory may be similar on the surface, just as populism and democracy have similar external logics, people with superficial tastes cannot distinguish the key to the difference. These "main melody" films in the United States reflect the mature context of the Western interpretation of civilization and human nature. The official must feel the ideological threat to the audience in the country, and those artists who are full of skills and inferior to others express their counterparts in a contemptuous manner. Contempt, out of a common ostrich mentality, they hit it off instantly, one is responsible for "caught by choking" and the other is responsible for "drinking poison to quench thirst." The former allows us to have no equivalent literary and artistic weapons to fight back against the comprehensive public opinion attacks of overseas anti-China forces. The latter allowed our literary and artistic circles to become accomplices of overseas anti-China forces and join forces to extinguish the positive energy in Chinese ideology. In short, it is a situation of self-defeating martial arts + giving face and being beaten. According to the public opinion, the people on the ground are the swords and I am the fish.
Today, when Chinese literature and art are mixed with eyes and ears, whenever I have negative emotions towards society, I can only continue to lock myself up and watch American movies. In reality, all unsatisfactory things are reflected more extreme in American films, but in the end, the orientation is correct. After watching it, people will feel a lot more comfortable. All kinds of uncomfortable feelings will disappear. Hollywood will really comfort people. At this stage, it will fill up all the domestic The missing link in the literary world. Don’t watch Chinese movies or TV. If the thing says it’s poison, I’m sorry, but it’s just toxic garbage.
