After reading the beginning, I was distracted at the back, and I felt that there was no story to tell? My eyes looked at the screen, and it felt like they were fighting all the time... I can't tell who is from whom...

On why war movies feel dull:

1. For all war themes, the color palette is gray. (The only exception I've seen is "The Long Engagement", but Pierre Genet is inherently colorful; the domestic TV series "The Pretender" is also very colorful.) I think this is deadly, war The self-positioning of the subject film and television works is heavy at the beginning, but the more heavy the topic, the more it should be told in a relaxed tone, the contrast will be great, and it can also increase the audience.

2. It is easy to be "politically correct". The plot is generally very simple, easy to guess from the beginning to the end. Well-drawn war films generally win with details, reflecting the impermanent fate of individuals in a big era. However, it is estimated that very few audiences pay attention to this type of topic, so if you don't inject a little commercial element into this theme, you may not be able to arouse the enthusiasm of young audiences.

3. Pursue "big scenes", feel high-quality, and disdain to improve narrative appeal (this is considered a characteristic of popcorn commercials).

PS: inexplicably think of "Dunkirk"
