After a fierce air battle, it was a soothing music box music. The sky was clear and the sea of clouds passed his eyes. As if nothing happened just now, the air disappeared. The pilot named Hannan came to the new air force base to report, and began to experience a new environment. New people, new things. From the soothing warm tones at the beginning to the nearly one-hour plot development, the biggest feeling is freedom, everything is suppressed and terrible, long shots, gloomy pictures, foggy special effects, lively roommates against the characters' reticence Little talk, everyone's expressions and body language are rigid and paper-like, and there seems to be a complicated story behind them. What's even more tragic is that the male protagonist is exactly the typical representative of all this, and has no sense of incongruity with the new environment.
The dull first half of the plot is also detached, making people unable to grasp it. The journal-like records are obscure and slow, but it only makes people feel a lot of doubts. The female boss with the secret, and even the female companion she summons tells the story deeply, the restaurant she patronizes, the boss with a friendly and restrained expression, and the white-haired old man who is squatting in front of the stone statue. . . Walking slowly in these broken elements, but there is no anxiety, because it seems that I have also become a part of it.
Then there is the non-painful topic part in the second half, and the answers are also revealed one by one. The war show in peace, the eternal son, gene cloning, memory removal, the godfather is like a trader in this reincarnation, grass childish water element is rare The helpless rebel of fate, shot him with his own hands in order to let his beloved escape all this pain. The emotional continuation does not seem to surprise people, just like the protagonist's calmness after knowing all the truth, plain, wanting to cry and laugh, wanting to ask loudly, and finally he is decadent and lacks energy, just like Mitsuya's meaningless resistance , Just like the old man at the door, it seems that he has already looked down on all this, coming and going, floating clouds and gray dogs.
We can imagine Cao Zhi's psychology, love so much that he wants to free him, but he can't get rid of this reincarnation, but watching his lover appear in front of her time and time again, changing his name, washing his memory, but still the same body, temperament The character is perfectly replicated, even the little details of breaking the match after lighting a cigarette are unchanged. Time is the best antidote for a broken love, but the pain is that he is always there, appearing over and over again as if it were revealed again and again. Ben buried deep scars, heart-wrenching. But I can't do anything myself, the only thing I can do is to meet again and again like the first time, greet and introduce, smile and cry. So we saw that in the ending egg, Cao Zhi finally introduced herself to another "Hannan" with a smile. Maybe it was the hope that the dead Hannan brought her, maybe it was just deeper helplessness and pain.
The war show in the peaceful era is undoubtedly full of political metaphors for the turbulent real society and the historical view of the dualism of war and peace, which may be interpreted as a relatively simple spiritual connotation of the film.
From another point of view, the real value of history lies in illuminating the way forward for mankind. However, what we see is that history is repeated again and again. Wars, aggression, the strong prey on the weak and kill the weak. Humans seem to be like urchins who don’t remember anything. Like repeating the mistakes he made, Xunzi's inherent evil is always shocking. In the end, we can only reluctantly interpret the insatiable human nature as the basic survival law of nature, hoping for enlightenment and redemption after mistakes.
So the wheel of history has evolved into a constantly spinning cycle of fate, and the fate of the individual can only be at the mercy and repeated again and again, just like when the protagonist sees the dead "Yudagawa", he still likes to read the newspaper and fold it carefully and neatly. , suddenly knew the truth, and the memory of the past immediately emerged scene by scene, as if seeing countless past self. The aerial killers we have seen are only the condensed and portrayal of the development of human history, the rotating music box, the repetition of movie details (the take-off of fighter planes, the propellers), everything is reset in sequence, as Hannan said, look The cruel war company, in the final analysis, is no different from other companies. They are all competing with each other for the best interests, and they are no different from people.
If the connotation of the film rises to this point, it can be said to be quite satisfactory, and the truly eye-catching part appears at the end, which makes the film completely sublimated. The place, it is precisely because we have walked countless times, the scenery will change thousands of times. Isn't that enough? Hannan's voice said, we know that the final match with the godfather is divided, or It is no longer important to say victory or defeat. People may not be able to escape their destiny, but they have the right and courage to challenge it. People may be repeating the path of their predecessors, but they can use their own thoughts and emotions to make their own path unique and unique.
This is the value of human beings, the reason why people are human, and it is all of this that illuminates the hazy sky, illuminates everything, dazzling and heart-warming.
This is the worst of times and the best of times.
