English film title "The Good Shepherd", in the Bible, Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep "The film's actor Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) is, or he thinks he is, a good shepherd who sacrificed his private life for the country (sheep). Therefore, the film is best translated flatly as "The Good Shepherd" and simplified to "The Good Shepherd", which seems nondescript. Looking at the meaning of the film content and penetration, the translation into "Dedicated to Duty" is also appropriate, but it seems to be a slogan for evaluating outstanding GCD members, and I am afraid it will not be a hit. Laughter~
This seems to be an unsuccessful movie with mixed reviews. Some people say that the director Robert De Niro should play his mafia; many people said that he was suffocated, and fell asleep after watching it for three hours; others said that he was dead, with many characters and many clues. The life principles to be explained are extremely superficial and idiotic. In order not to be exacting, I was arguing with someone till the middle of the night yesterday after reading it. Grandma's, you're an idiot! To watch a movie, you have to find out the truth of life and the meaning of education. Do you need me to give you the outline of the passage and grasp the central idea? This is my best, in elementary school. I remember that Han Han once wrote a diary, saying that he wanted to have a narration to read the central idea aloud to the concept of a movie made for people's viewing in China (roughly). I see a certain person who is arguing with me and a lot of people who complain that I can't understand, don't waste time, go and watch the kind of movie that Han Han said.
I like this movie very much, three hours in a flash, I am afraid that the end will come. It feels a bit like "Moonny Black", but after a check, it turned out to be the same screenwriter Eric Roth. "Forrest Gump" and "The Insider" (the insider) were also written by him. In retrospect, "The Insider" does have such layers, pieces and pieces, and the flavour of the truth is revealed in the end.
Undeniably, my likes are a bit biased: because this is starring my idol Matt Damon. However, in the conscience of heaven and earth, he is a half-old man in the film, wearing an old-fashioned suit and thick-rimmed glasses all day long, expressionless and taciturn. How can he be half the chic and handsome in the usual movie? Therefore, it is impossible to say that I affirm this movie entirely because of the actors.
This is not a relaxing movie, nor is it a movie that provides visual pleasure (in fact, I think it is quite pleasing to the eye, many scenes, in the ordinary and the beauty of the gentle wind and drizzle, I appreciate this style very much). What I mean by "visual pleasure" refers to the expectations of ordinary people for spy movies: handsome men and beauties and cheongsam, all kinds of advanced espionage techniques, gorgeous action fighting, explosion scenes, etc. No! None in this movie! Even if the hero and heroine belong to the idol group, they deliberately cover up their elegance. The "beauties" who practiced "beauty tricks" in consecutive films are also not popular. In this way, the film more realistically reproduces the work and life of an intelligence officer: dull, dull and dull; distorted, distorted and distorted. Richard Holbrooke, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and National Security Assistant, commented: "Almost every event in the film is quite precise. The filmmakers have refined even the smallest details, truly capturing the Cold War period. The essential truth of intelligence work." If you can, watching this movie and the Bourne series, which also starred Matt Damon, complements each other: a dazzling, physical skill frontline. Special agent; one is a plain, mentally active behind-the-scenes intelligence officer.
The actor Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) is modeled after James Angleton, one of the founders of the CIA. James Angliton is a paranoid and paranoid patient. He believed that the Soviets who defected to the West were smoke bombs deliberately released by the KGB. Later, he assumed that many Western leaders were Soviet spies, and even the US president was It's red (haha, this is too funny). No wonder that in the movie, he and the fake violinist (the real spy) observe the scene where his subordinates interrogate the violinist who has defected. They have to admit that they are asking the spy, and they are forced to jump off the building and die. Ugh! When true is false, false is also true.
This is reminiscent of another movie that is also a legend, also depicts amnesia, and also involves the CIA-"A Beautiful Mind" (A Beautiful Mind). Someone used the example of "Beautiful Mind" to grieve the failure of "The Good Shepherd": The story should be made easy to understand and beautiful. I just watch a movie, and there is no need to get involved in the chaos created by the director. What's more, it's so naive and clumsy?
Most of the time, I agree with him. I also like to be simple and straightforward. "A Beautiful Mind" is a good film. However, the composition of the world is not single, especially in the espionage world. A spy film not only allows you to watch it, but also allows you to participate. You need to observe attentively to attract you to think and analyze, and then, like a male protagonist, you will use your keenness to judge the origin of a matter from a multitude of threads. After watching the movie, you find that you have also become a qualified intelligence officer. I find this experience very enjoyable. After watching it, I was indulged in the plot of the movie for a long time, so excited that I had to write something. You know, I haven't typed so many words for a movie in a long time.
Of course, it’s hard to say what I feel. I can’t expect others to appreciate "The Good Shepherd" as much as I do. When I watched "Memento" a few years ago, there was a pile of messy sand for the audience to take care of. It made me crazy to watch it. For fans of "The Man of the Heart", I'm also a hard rock that doesn't even lighten it. Reading, listening to music, and watching movies are all lonely journeys.
Finally, I will end this article by mentioning the details in the movie. Of course, there are many interesting details in the movie. Towards the end of the film, the male protagonist Edward Wilson came to Pruvin, the elderly Italian man, and asked him to cooperate. There are two children in the room. Pruvin asked the family to take them out, and the family took the children to play on the beach. Pruvin yelled: "Look at them, don't let them drown!" "Put on sunscreen, don't get sunburned!" "Tell them to put on slippers and don't cut their feet!"
Compare that year, Edward. Wilson and General Sullivan were talking about work at home, his son was sitting on the floor and playing, and he asked his wife to take it away. Everything was cold.
After so many years, Edward Wilson is still cold, sitting there, looking at Pruvin.
Then Pruvin asked him: "We Italians have families and churches; Irish people have hometowns; Jews have their traditions; both blacks and their music. What do you Americans have?"
"There is America."
Edward Wilson's answer was serious and arrogant, but it gave people a funny and weird feeling.
This is also his answer to his life goal, right?
From a living person to a cold state machine, I really feel sad for him.
