The film uses the usual narration of classic movies from the 1980s to the early 2000s - flashbacks. (From "Titanic", "The Pianist at Sea", "The Notebook", "Forrest Gump" and a series of works of the same period, we can see the trend of this kind of narrative at the time.) The flashback method is the head The tails are connected in series, and some films will be inserted several times in the middle, which makes the whole film more plump, three-dimensional and more complete in terms of narrative and lyricism. Whether it is the national flag in the first and last shots of Ryan, the feathers and chocolates in Forrest Gump, or even the heart of the ocean in the Titanic, they are full of distinct symbolic meanings. This also enables the complete and complex story of the system to have a basic foothold to cut in at the very beginning, allowing readers to grasp emotionally in advance and gain momentum for the end. The American flag fluttered in the wind with a dull tone. The veterans were walking on the way to the cemetery, swaying one step at a time. There were countless tombstones neatly standing on the green grass. The audience did not know which tombstone the veterans would go to. He just slumped down and started crying, it didn't matter anymore. From the very beginning, the brilliant director opened up the film's direction, and it didn't even give a close-up shot of Colonel Miller's tombstone. Because at this time, every heroic soul who is sleeping here is a person who sacrificed a person for the freedom, independence and liberation of this country during World War II. In front of this cemetery, every flower layer is Ryan, and every long sleeper is Miller. Rather than saying that this is the rescue of Ryan by Miller's detachment, it is better to say that this is the rescue of the humanitarian spirit by the soldiers with faith in the age of war. Then everything penetrated from Ryan's eyes. The second part of the film is a silhouette of the D-Day landings. The story at this point has nothing to do with Ryan. On the contrary, this part is a depiction of Miller and his party, and of course, it is also a representation of the horror of the Normandy landing. Most importantly, at the end, a faint shot swept over the corpse in the military uniform with Ryan's name on it. The first Ryan in the movie appears. Then, switch to the scene where the typists print the notices with the death of the soldier. The women's delicate makeup, calm faces, and astonishing efficiency contrast sharply with the text in the background vocals. On the one hand, it is the numbness that the heavy losses have brought to people, and on the other hand, it is the shock that the repeated words and phrases of the letters have brought to people's hearts. In this almost neurotic interlude, the breath of death seems to struggle out of the screen through the tentacles, suggesting that we are looking forward to a more humane moment. So, the Ryan family showed up. The news of the deaths of Ryan's three older brothers is dramatically discovered by a typist, and the news is dramatically noticed by the top, and a letter to the mothers of five dead soldiers dramatically evokes the humanitarian concerns of senior soldiers. In the cruel age, they gave the most extravagant humanitarian spirit a possibility to evolve into a miracle, full of the brilliance and innocence of idealism, full of all the elements needed for drama. Seeing this, I actually have a skeptical attitude towards this rescue. The third part of the movie, I think it's from the moment the Miller team goes to the moment they lose their first teammate. I like to hear the cocky team member say, "In my opinion, this whole operation is a misuse of a precious military resource." I like to hear the proud sniper say, "If you put me and my guns a mile away from Hitler There are no obstacles around. Then pack your bags, the war is over." Their words truly restored the characters' mentality and shaped their images. No one deserves the threat of life for others because they are the only seed in the family in these war-torn times. Miller's lack of complaints made me puzzled and even a little disgusted at first, but his humorous answers made me curious about him. How much kindness and loyalty does a person have in his heart to be so candid in this initially absurd action? But the greatness of this film is not that it relies on the rendered humanitarianism to force the audience to accept its not yet fully developed themes. The choice of different members of the road encounter team makes people think about the war more comprehensively. Humanity in war is not only a luxury but also a costly luxury. Twenty-two soldiers were killed for the safety of an officer's fighter jet, the life of an American soldier was sacrificed for the safety of a German child, and the squad that released them turned back and was attacked for the safety of a German prisoner . It can be seen that this film is returning to reality at any time, and its humanitarian spirit is not a castle in the air. Is it to be a red-eyed executioner on countless battlefields, or to be a sacrifice to the spirit of self-humanism in one's own kind cemetery. At this point each of us is a member of the Miller team, maybe with different values, but we are all struggling with this contradiction. The fourth part of the movie is the most fluid and critical, and in my opinion even more critical than the ending, which can be roughly divided into the process from wade's death to Miller's team deciding to stay and guard the bridge together. Wade's death can be said to have inspired the contradictions mentioned above, and the words of Miller as the team leader went far beyond my original assumptions. It didn't occur to me that an almost joking bet could also be used as a clue, as an entry point for Miller's rhetoric. Who would have imagined that this soldier who was calm and rational and even a little cold-blooded on the battlefield was once an English teacher, accompanied by countless naughty children and his beautiful wife. And today he is on the battlefield of purgatory, he is fearless with a gun in his hand, but his hands are trembling with guilt. "How much is the bet? $300? Pretty much. I'm a teacher, and I teach English composition in my hometown, and when I talk about my career in my hometown, people say: Oh, you know it at a glance, but in Here, it's become a big, big secret, and I think it should have changed me a lot, and I don't even know if my wife still recognizes me, and of course I can't tell her what happened here today .Ryan I don't know who he is, he means nothing to me, he's just a name to me, if finding it gives me the right to get back to my wife, then I'll be done with this Mission, do you want to leave? Do you want to return to the battlefield? That's ok, I won't stop anyone, I can even close the report for you, I just know that every time I kill a person, the further away I get from my hometown. "I don't know what kind of speech this is, I just think it's too serious to be used for comment and analysis. This is the history we can never feel, the humanity that we can never reveal to ourselves. Perhaps, when a soldier takes a gun and goes to war, he is not only living for himself, he is living for mankind. In war, the only meaning may be the skylight opened for human dignity in this struggle. Miller's words and deeds actually explained exactly that we foolishly let go of a German army, and we foolishly rescued a soldier who had nothing to do with us, in order to give a reservation for our own humanity before the war tore us apart. So say "My kindness and my refuge, my tower and my liberator." In the war, even Miller under the camera is dust. No one knew where a bullet would blow his head, no one knew who was a hero and who was a coward, who died unnoticed, and who lived shivering. If one day, a foolish superior suddenly recalled the importance of humanitarianism, then why don't we give miracles a possibility? What about the life of man instead of the death battle of the enemy? We all want to survive, and the inner world of everyone on the battlefield is enough to make one of the greatest works. However, under the huge army, countless people are covered up, loyalty is the most noble quality, and what we do under military orders is our greatest meaning. That's why I said, "One day we will look back and think that saving Ryan in this war-torn era was a masterpiece." The ending is not important. I don't want to mention patriotism, and I don't want to analyze that fighter jets are on our shoulders. angel. The only bright spot is the kind-hearted, almost cowardly little translator who shot and killed the German prisoner who turned back to attack them. He never lost his kindness, but he also showed the determination to fight heroically. This is the battlefield, but it is also, no matter how many wars, in this cruel world, the only bright color that cannot be erased-the humanitarian spirit. This is a story with a disgusting beginning and a tearful ending. It's a dramatic story, it's a reality story. The biggest difference between "Saving Private Ryan" and "Blood at Steel Ridge" is that it does not have the line "adapted from a true story" at the beginning and end. It's just a struggling force in real historical news. The tragic deaths of the four brothers led the United States to enact a policy that families exclude all males from the military. Because of fiction, it may be attacked by realists; but because of fiction, it may be carrying a force that reality cannot. There may be countless Ryans who cannot be saved on the battlefield, but in our spiritual banner, there is no border, no justice or right or wrong. We are all looking forward to a worthy named Ryan, and we are all looking forward to a humane named Miller. This is the reflection on the blood of all mankind in the end of the war, the final line of defense. This is a story with a disgusting beginning and a tearful ending.
