tugging at the heart.
When I was a little girl, I watched Braveheart, and thought my uncle was too sexy, and my hormones exploded. Later, I watched "The Passion of Jesus" and "Revelation", and still continued to be a fan with peace of mind; 10 years later, Uncle Mei became Lord Mei. "Hacksaw Ridge" was born, and the country is still there.
Mei Ye never begrudges and hides the violent and bloody scenes. After placing heroes in the most extreme scenes and subjecting them to the most severe and inhuman torture—whether physical or religious—the brilliance of humanity (or divinity?) finally emerges.
This is his constant theme.
The explanation of the first half is not lost. However, it may be because he really does not love the male protagonist, especially his strange smile and hot eyes that appear to me from time to time, and he often makes plays when he resists; those old-fashioned methods are not my cup of tea, but fortunately there is Hugo Weaving.
As for the bridge sections of the "Full Metal Shell" in the middle, let's not mention it.
In the second half of the war scene, I personally feel that it is more violent and chaotic than "Private Ryan". Some people even described it as "compared to it, the first 30 minutes of "Private" looks like a ballad performance."
It's said that all war movies are anti-war themes, but sometimes it feels like the killing in Hacksaw Ridge (including the ghastly zombie-like Japanese soldiers) is a deeper exploration than "The Soldier" or "The Hurt Locker" The level of war itself and humanity is a little less.
And even the discussion of Doss' beliefs is over. For example, if he doesn't take weapons, but others kill people because of his refusal to kill, is this contrary to it?
The protagonist's halo is too strong is also the routine of Mei Ye. From "Braveheart" to "Jesus", this time even more so. People around him have their own ugliness and weaknesses. Only Doss is so pure, noble and indestructible. The Freud-like analysis and explanation in the previous paragraph also felt that in order to produce results, it was necessary to give reasons for hard work.
Master Mei has never been considered delicate, but what he expresses comes from the depths of his heart, which is hot and hot, you can feel it.
Some people say that "Hacksaw Ridge" is the end of Gibson's Faith (God) trilogy, and some even say that it is a missionary film in war skin. Mr. Mei's previous "bad deeds" have not been forgotten, and he himself does not seem to seek forgiveness, and perhaps this film is his face and examination.
He doesn't need to be understood to be redeemed, he has his God, nothing to do with us.
Like Doss.
