The third time I watched it, I was very sure that this was a movie, not a game. The so-called one shot is not a substitute for anyone's perspective. We look at everything through the camera. We still maintain the distance between the reality and the story of the movie unique to the movie. The camera's point of view is not to take us into World War I, we are not God, we are just witnessing what happens and witnessing the beginning and the end of this story.
What impressed me the most about this film was not only his photography, but also the combination of drama and film, although I didn't particularly like it, but it allowed me to see the passage of time in the film. In that daytime scene, the flares flickered on and off, and I suddenly realized that not only was a war not so beautiful, but it was like a prop on the stage that symbolized the battlefield. Flickering and flickering, the protagonist moves on it. You cross not only the small props, but you cross time and space.
After going back to the movie three times, I still can't convince myself that I like the movie because it really seems like it's just a spectacle. It can take the audience to "experience" World War I with its excellent photography, sound effects, and soundtrack. But he seemed so unreal, it was like a spectacle. You "create" the battlefield "create all kinds of details, but it's not real. A while ago, the 100th anniversary documentary of the First World War, Peter Jackson's "They Don't Grow Old," is real, even if it doesn't have a great form, it can still make People experience this meaningless war with the theme of Kubrick's "Path of Glory" Needless to say, the theme is much better Kubrick's war trilogy Fucking Fabulous. Even if you don't want to go Realism, then this is a movie like Marvel. The positive energy seems to whitewash the relationship between the generals and soldiers in "Path of Glory". The popular British stars such as Cumberbatch and Colin Firth are generals. It seems that it means its main theme. I I've been thinking about what sam mendes brings different to this film in content but it seems like the keynote is set here you can create interesting details like the hymn "The Virgin" You can incorporate religion to make people shine but in the end I can't avoid the amusement park feeling!! This is a good movie (movie) not a good movie (cinema)
