let the bullet fly for a while

The best thing about this movie is that it doesn't treat the audience as fools, and it doesn't think the audience is too smart.

The screenwriter will create an unexpected conflict almost every 5 minutes, which will make the audience not look bored, but the result of this conflict is not given directly, but will let the bullet fly for a while, and let the audience have a reverie Space, let you expect and guess, and then give you the result.

And he's not like a creed, everything requires you to guess, and the average unsmart audience really can't figure it out. This does not make the audience think too smart, which makes the audience significantly increase, which allows many audiences to be immersed in it.

But this does not mean that the film will be mindless. On the contrary, every result he gives is foreshadowed in advance and expected. Instead of letting the screenwriter open his mouth, saying that if you have feelings, you will have feelings, and if you say that you have the halo of the protagonist, you will have the halo of the protagonist.

1. From the beginning, a person exchanged a Persian book for the man's sandwich, and at this time the man asked some of the contents of the book: Dad, Reza, and the Tenth Commandment.

Then there was the first small climax: their group was killed, and the male protagonist fell down, trying to survive (domestic drama: the male protagonist will escape) Fact: Everyone is not blind, and naturally they cannot escape.

The first coincidence appeared: the officers needed the Persians

The hero escapes

This is not just a tool developed for story development: the motivation behind this coincidence is given

Soldiers can get canned food if they find a Persian and give it to the officer

Officers need Persians to learn the language in order to live with their brothers in Persia

These two conditions make this coincidence true

(All coincidences are based on basic logic, domestic, I am the director and I have the final say)

2. The previous parts are for the expectations of our audience. We don't know if the male protagonist will be exposed, which keeps the audience.

When the male protagonist sees the officer, it is human nature: the officer saw the cover and asked the same question as the original owner of the male protagonist asked the book: Dad, Reza, just when we thought the coincidence appeared again.

The second little climax came: the officer asked the mother, the capital and the last name, which lifted our hearts again.

It was indeed the officer who was cautious and skeptical, which was in line with his motives.

3. The male protagonist escaped, but some soldiers reported that the male protagonist was fake (there is also a motivation: because the position of his girlfriend was threatened by the male protagonist) The third climax appeared

We continue to expect and guess, thinking that the male protagonist is finished:

But because of the pride of the officer, the male protagonist continued to survive. This motivation is also reasonable. Even if I am wrong, I don't want to admit that I am a fool in front of my subordinates. I have studied for so long, but he will not let it go. The male protagonist, but let the male protagonist write from 4 words a day to 40 words.

When I wrote this, I found that I didn't know whether it was the charm of the image or the lack of my language. I was actually nervous when I saw this part. I was thinking about how the male protagonist can remember 40 words, but I didn't feel that way when I wrote it.

Secondly, the officer did not realize that, on the one hand, he was arrogant, and there was another reason. This fake Persian was actually a kind of sustenance for him, and he felt a little self-deceiving. There is also an officer who is a cook and doesn't have any great military talent, so all this is reasonable for him.

4. I thought that the male protagonist was the kind of counter-attack of cool writing, and he could recite 40 words by heart, but the male protagonist decided to run away when he was nervous, which made me feel very immersed: If it were me, the first thing I would think of would be escape.

But escaping is not easy to accomplish. In order to allow him to escape, the screenwriter installed the reason why the position of the former soldier's girlfriend was threatened, so that the male protagonist had a chance to escape. Time to catch the male lead.

We don't know what will happen to the male protagonist. In this part, the male protagonist meets a person and asks him to go back. In fact, I don't quite understand the appearance of this person, and it feels a bit far-fetched.

Then the male protagonist went back by himself, and the soldier's strategy was shattered.

5. The male protagonist still hasn't found a way, and the audience can't think of any way. The male protagonist can only copy the roster tremblingly, and at this time he thought of a way to deal with this 40 words first. It's just giving the name of one's own countrymen as Persian to one's enemies.

6. Just when the male protagonist and the officer were getting along harmoniously, the conflict came again. When the officer asked the male protagonist about the pronunciation of the tree, the male protagonist said the same pronunciation as bread. The officer was furious and threw the male protagonist into the most difficult way. The place.

In fact, I don't know if the male protagonist said it was bread when he cut the bread, or he deliberately made the pronunciation of tree and bread the same. I don't know if it was an excuse for making a mistake, because he looked too calm. Even so, the officer still did not kill the hero with a single shot.

7. When the male protagonist fainted, he spoke false Persian, so that the male protagonist continued to gain the trust of the officers. Later, the two chatted and forgot what they said. The officer said, "You don't think I can love someone, but anyone can love me."

And this reminds me of those fake Persian words that the male protagonist used to feed the Jews, what persistence, patience

In war, the whole is always prominent, it's all numbers, and these parts make me feel that they are all living individuals, they have their characters, they have what they want, including the officers.

This reminds me again that officers joined the Nazis just because they saw people on the street smoking happily, which also showed the absurdity and drama of war. The spirit preached by those leaders is nothing more than an excuse to win people over.

8. In another climax, the officer was really nervous when he let the soldier's girlfriend leave and was preparing to draw his roster.

There are a few small points: a female soldier reported that the senior general had an organ problem, but then the officer was beaten by the female soldier, and the officer reported the female soldier's organ to the senior general and the soldier's army, mantis catching cicadas. oriole behind

9. This is the story of the older brother and the younger brother and the male protagonist. The appearance of a new Persian made the plot conflict. My thought at the time was that the new Persian could not confirm that he was a Persian, and the male protagonist could. Start here. I even thought of the male protagonist colluding with the new Persian to teach the officer correct Persian, because at that time I was already a little sympathetic to the officer.

But the New Persians were killed. At this time, we thought that the elder brother killed him, because the male protagonist will give his younger brother something delicious to keep him alive.

At this time, in order to save his younger brother, the male protagonist changed clothes with his younger brother and mixed in with the executed crowd. The officer hurried to rescue the male protagonist when he found out.

Then both the male protagonist and the officer fled, the interesting thing is that the soldier reported the officer, but the fact is that the senior general did not capture the officer because they also wanted to escape.

At the climax, the male protagonist recited 2,840 personal names on his own territory, but the officer was considered suspicious because he spoke false Persian.

The feelings at the time were very complicated, and I had sympathy for the officer, but the male protagonist said something: When the officer asked him why he was so angry, he obviously did not kill his compatriots, male protagonist: But you make those who kill people not hungry . This is not to kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.

Besides, I'm still reading other people's stories, I don't feel pain unless the knife cuts on me. If it was during the Anti-Japanese War, no matter how nice this officer was to you, you wouldn't sympathize with him if he didn't kill anyone.)

Just when we felt that the officer rescued the male lead, but died because of the male lead, we can only say that fate made people miserable,

In fact, the tragedy of the officers was caused by the war, and the male protagonist also said that you are not as smart as your friends who fled to Persia, and there are some reasons for the officers themselves.

The final outcome is that after the bullets were gathered together, they flew for a long time, and finally fell a heavy bullet.

The structure and setting of this film are so wonderful, the pacing is very good, people can see the carefulness of the play, and the narrative is super smooth. We need this kind of film that everyone can understand, but everyone says it's pretty good.
