More expectation, more disappointment

I still can't wait to drop it again, one star for Desmond and one star for war scenes. He is indeed a hero and I admire his heroic deeds a lot, but I really feel that this movie is overrated. Compared with the story of Eugene, a medic in episode 6 of the Company of Brothers, the length of more than 2 hours is more than 2 hours. I was deeply moved by the author. The depiction of the battlefield is a bright spot, but I can still pick out some details. For example, I didn't hear the crisp sound of the M1 Garand magazine emptying. I have never seen anyone change bullets, and there is very little description of tactical literacy. The whole game seems to be charging blindly. Some people compare Saving Private Ryan with this film. The scene depiction of the login battle at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan and the mental activities of the soldiers are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The mental activities of the soldiers can be seen more in Saving Private Ryan. The kind of fearful eyes that first entered the battlefield turned into a firm move after the command was issued, drowning in the water and struggling, calling medic and ammo everywhere, angering the Germans after a successful breakthrough, insulting and shooting the surrendering Germans, etc. Hacksaw Ridge, etc. are not fully expressed. The war is actually the same for both sides. Everyone is human, but there are differences in the goal. Hacksaw Ridge did not instill this kind of thinking, excessive hero. The concept of doctrine and good and evil ignores the meaning of anti-war (but the terrifying bridge section Hacksaw Ridge is slightly better). Bloody Hacksaw Ridge, my expectations for it may still be too high.
