You have to find what you believe

I have to say that the desire to watch a movie, in addition to publicity points, gimmicks, actors, etc., must first be its title and poster. After the word "war" and "game", I have defined it in my heart as the range of movies that I have no connection with and will not go to watch. It almost made me miss such a movie that I almost cried from beginning to end in the theater. Because the director and the male protagonist still decided to break the threshold and have a look, and then like I said, cry from beginning to end.

This does not mean that it is good, it can only be said that its emotional driving force is enough, and the technique is accurate enough to make Emotional flashpoints are placed in suitable places. For example, the old-fashioned military camp in front of them was angry and beaten by a group, but when their commander had tears in his eyes, he said, "I didn't say who I was beaten. "The tears came out, and at that moment his hard image came out. If someone attacks you and you don't respond as they expected, then their attack is cheap. And everything is "routine" , Love at first sight, nurse, young boy, misunderstood and bullied, family shadow, alcoholic father, no turning back at critical moments, reversal is respected by people, I believe that all screenwriters are familiar with this set and can write But the most amazing thing is that the Americans have once again proved the successful model of those heroic blockbusters, shaping a small character into a hero, turning all the previous backlog into a kind of emotional resonance for the audience, and then in the Raised eyebrows at the climax.

Of course, here is the most important thing in the film, faith. All the symbols are obvious and direct enough, appearing more than three times in the Bible, worship and church, without touching a gun, my friend smiled and said, in terms of character shaping, he has surpassed a hero, but a god-like person, I Like an angel. The most precious thing is the word true story that appears in the title. But who doesn't stick to his beliefs in the film? The Jesus he believes in, and the "non-killing" he believes in, just like the "American spirit" that other soldiers believe in, are indestructible, even if those interspersed in the middle are really like the devil in the "Blood Battle on the Beach" game he played as a child Ugly Japanese, finally in a decent way, complete their beliefs. The hesitations of the soldiers before going to Hacksaw Ridge are all real, which is why there is always a powerful tear-jerking political commissar in the Tear Devils TV series. They all make me keep thinking about the fate of individuals. Whether there is a choice in the sacrifice in front of faith, whether it is "you belong to the battlefield" as Billy Lynn shows, or the strong will to join the army actively in this part, no matter who persuades him to leave, he will not leave, but in the final analysis His reason is still "I can't sit at home safely when others are fighting for me on the battlefield." If such a reason is a little weaker, there are choices, but he must turn it into a fateful change Cheng persevered to the end, because he was convinced.

And I have to think of all the people who created these beliefs, whether it is fascism or Christianity, you have no way of knowing whether their origin is human destiny or to satisfy your own selfish interests, you only see countless people who have followed the past, and the more terrifying Yes, many of us don't even have this kind of belief, just like I saw some time ago in "Soul on a Cord" when he lost what he was looking for when he lost the meaning of life completely, or complete A huge emptiness and dazedness after a mission, why do I still exist?

The protagonist is lucky, he has his own beliefs, and he believes in them.

And when I walked out of the cinema and returned to my life, I, who was outside the real life half a century ago, enshrined them as fake dramas, but the emotions were all real, just like at this moment I believe in the film creators They must also believe the true beliefs in those films before they go and create them.
