A proud neurosis

It is said that an eternal theme of war films is anti-war, and in order to express anti-war, the usual shooting method is to show the cruel details brought by the real war, such as the children living on the streets in the Iraq War, such as the "Iwo Jima Letter" that has not been sent yet. It's a family letter, but the cruelty of this film is actually that it took more than 70 lives without weapons in the area controlled by the enemy. Under normal circumstances, you can resist the war. , screenwriter, do you want to create an American anti-Japanese war drama, but Desmond Doss is real, not holding a gun is also real, saving people is more real, so this is not a story, but a fact, so sonorous No matter what the strong fact is, it is a good script that can win at the starting line. What Mel Gibson has to do is to be a good driver and make no mistakes.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the whole film. The first half of the film that everyone has been criticizing is an indispensable part of the American theme film. Compared with the second half, the first half is obviously out of a low ebb. It is mainly for character characterization, but what is slightly lacking is, does the adaptation of domestic violence have a direct impact on Dawes's heart? Can the memories of domestic violence make Dawes firm in his belief? The drama of the nurse falling in love with the hot-blooded soldier is also repeating the story of the past. Seeing the encounter and acquaintance with her lover suddenly reminds me of the three dogs of Big Ben, Joey Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale in "Pearl Harbor" Blood plot, of course, this film did not pull out a complicated relationship between characters. After checking the relevant information, I found that the fate of Dawes and his wife was not as in the movie. What kind of drama is a nurse falling in love with Da Bing? In order to cater to the audience, such an adaptation is made, handsome and beautiful, and the nurse falls in love with Da Bing. Who would get tired of such a setting? It's just that in the introduction of the characters, the inner characteristics of the characters are buried. If it is not a real story, it is too sloppy to answer the question of faith through the memory of the male protagonist. Maybe this is Mel Gibson's style, I just put it. The story is well told. As for why the story is like this, each person has a different answer, and you should understand it yourself. A biopic has the advantage that it does not need to fully present the story and characters, because it is based on objective facts. A person who does not take money and guns saves 75 people or more in one go against the enemy's bullets. Is this possible? ? Exactly, because it's a fact. Therefore, given the direct shooting style of the director and the consistent routine of biopics, the character building of this film is a bit lacking, and the war of beliefs in the characters' hearts has not been fully opened.

However, this strong storyline is enough to cover up the flaws in the character creation. There are three places in the whole film that I was completely moved by
. The first place was in the recruit camp, where Dawes was beaten by his comrades, and finally insisted on staying in the army camp. When he said who hit you, when everyone thought that Dawes was going to take revenge, Dawes said that he had hurt himself a lot when he was sleeping. Everyone looked at him in astonishment. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just sticking to the belief of not hurting others.

The second is the second day after they just occupied Hacksaw Ridge. The Japanese caught the U.S. military by surprise and took back the heights. Once, he followed his own principles, doss on the edge of the cliff, resolutely chose the front line between the rear and the front.

The third one was in the tunnel. Dawes helped a Japanese and kept sending the wounded to the ground. The soldiers on the ground reported to the leader that there were 75 people in total, including three Japanese. At this time, I was Laughing, it is a kind of proud smile. Although the object is a foreigner, it is a bit silly to talk about pride, but this kind of proud smile really happened. When Lao Mei expressed her compliment to someone close to her, she would say In a sentence, I'm so proud of you, and I am the same at this time. During the viewing process, I constantly recognized the spirit of Dawes. As an audience, I seem to be closer to Dawes's world, and understand his inner world. My teammates, under the circumstance of superior obstruction, accomplished a rare feat in the world, I'm so proud of you spontaneously.

Dawes's nobility is that he magnifies his beliefs in the inherent environment, such as the current fitness trend, the ambient temperature can be very cold, and it can be very busy at ordinary times, but will real fitness people care about these, they will definitely care, but, After caring, he can stick to his belief in fitness. Faith prevails in the contest with hesitation. The same is true for Dawes. Have you ever thought about withdrawing from the recruit camp, and have you ever thought about withdrawing with the troops when retreating? It’s normal to think about it. , but alas, my faith was stronger, so I decided to stay. Human nature is really interesting. When you are hesitating whether to give up or not, give you a little push. If you are fearless and firm in yourself, maybe you will achieve greatness. Someone who knows you may say to you from the heart, I' m so proud of you!
