Five Heroes of the French Castle - "Ghost of War"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Ghost of War".
The film title Ghosts of War (2020), alias Ghost Story in War (Taiwan).
When it comes to classic sci-fi movies, or classic movies that generalize to a loop setting, The Butterfly Effect (2004) must be on the list.
However, Eric Bress, the director and screenwriter of "The Butterfly Effect", is not very productive. Not only are several sequels of "The Butterfly Effect" not produced by him, there are even no other film works. It wasn't until 16 years later that Eric Brace returned as director and writer to launch this "Ghost of War".
"Ghost of War" is a hodgepodge, in which viewers can see elements of war, horror, science fiction, and more.
Eric Brace can seamlessly combine the three elements, and can also tell a fairly self-consistent sci-fi story. It can be seen that the sword is not old, as long as you hold it hard, you can still make interesting movies. .
At the beginning of "Ghost of War", it is telling the story of the five heroes of the French castle.
During World War II, a five-man U.S. military team was ordered to garrison a French castle. After they marched to the castle, they settled down, and soon a 50-man German army came over. The two sides fought fiercely in the castle, and the fight was not lively.
Americans and Germans fought on French soil. what on earth is this kind of happenings? Because you can never capture France before France surrenders. French lands can be occupied or defended by other countries. Of course, this is a joke. In fact, it is not because the French army was killed by the British, so I will not say more about these digressions.
In the film, he is also playing daily insults. Their homeland is occupied by people of various countries in turn, and the fighting power of the French army is not as good as ghosts. If you want to abide by the "rules" that you can't become refined, I'm afraid it's not the quantum army that came through. In a trance, I seem to see the quantum army in "Ball Lightning".
Looking at the middle of "Ghost of War" again, it has become a horror movie configuration.
Audiences don't have to doubt their own eyes, and the castle begins to come into close contact with ghosts under the name of the Allies and Nazis. In the strange castle, everything shows that a very tragic tragedy has happened in the castle.
The horror elements in the film still rely on the most old-fashioned Jump Scar, using sound effects and editing to complete the frightening effect. If viewers don't plan to watch horror movies at first, they are likely to be caught off guard.
And the solution to resolve the grievances of ghosts is also the most common solution in horror movies. First find out the reason for the haunting, find the crux of the ghost's resentment, and then calm down the matter with kind words.
Finally, at the end of "Ghost of War", the film has become a science fiction movie.
The leading soldier in front of the charge was a tool of imperialist aggression when he was alive, but he still could not live in peace after his death, and became a guinea pig in the imperial medical research.
According to the saying in the film, "World War II is the most gentle scene that promotes brotherhood." The British think so for their own reasons. After all, after the Dunkirk Escape, it was the French army who could gain the greatest benefit with the least loss. . Those who believed in this sentence were sold by the British, and the British who said it did not believe it themselves.
Science fiction is mixed with some mysticism, and the style of the film is more diverse.
If it wasn't for the use of washing powder to invade Iraq, Saddam's elite would not have turned into extremist ISIS. The anti-American pioneer shouted that the settlement should not be settled in US dollars, which touched the scale, and as a result, the monarch of one country was dragged to another country to be hanged. This has also become the breeding ground for "terrorism".
Aggression and anti-aggression are not a question of chicken or egg. It does not mean that because the local people resisted the invasion first, the world police invaded with a big stick, but the world police made excuses to invade other countries in order to plunder resources. , only the resistance of the victimized country.
Powell's laundry detergent is the tragic trigger for these five big men. In order to maintain the dollar and military hegemony, the bald eagle sent its younger brothers to invade everywhere. It is very unfortunate that the five American soldiers in the film are victims of this background.
You can still see some shadows of the "Butterfly Effect" in the film. The constant repetition and flashbacks evoke ancient memories of the audience.
"Ghost of War" responds to the two golden laws of science fiction movies: indecision, quantum mechanics; style jump, virtual world.
As long as the brain hole is big enough, you can shoot enough elements, and then integrate various elements through the virtual world, which becomes an interesting hodgepodge.
