"Fury": Hero Development

Alessia 2022-04-20 09:01:06

Every soldier who has been baptized on the battlefield is a mental patient, because in the choice of life and death, they have already combined faith and fear, testing the limit of their endurance in death and amputated limbs, and twisting in life and death. own soul. The war movies we have seen have too much glorified the heroic and fearless spirit of a fighting hero, but have not seen the fear in their hearts and their inner struggles facing choices. People are always human rather than gods, no one It will break through the essence of human beings and suddenly turn into gods. Even legendary characters have been tempered bit by bit and have rubbed off their ordinary human essence, so as to selectively become heroes who shoulder the mission of war. The hero does not make people feel cute, but becomes a sympathetic or even pitiful guy, because he has lost his essence as an ordinary person, and becomes a machine or even a tool, and his heart does not get a moment. An Ning, even under the ruthless mask, still can't cover up the heart that has been suffering and suffering. From the movie, we can feel the sincerity of the director to restore the war movie. He no longer blindly shows how to reflect the existence of a hero, but also opens up the frustration for us that it is difficult to find ourselves and return to human nature. made a more detailed analysis. What we enjoy is not only the scenes and cruelty brought to us by the war, but more importantly, it reflects the incomprehensible harm and annihilation of human nature behind the war, so that we can thoroughly see the so-called nature of war and historical facts , instead of blindly worshipping and imitating the so-called fighting heroes, and the so-called heroes are just the lucky ones who can survive and enjoy the so-called fruits of victory.

The film presents us with a rather negative and desolate feeling, the gray tones highlight the seriousness and tension of the Second World War, and the vicissitudes of the characters give the film a sense of the times, although Brad. Pitt is the absolute leader of the film, but the plot associated with him has more tenderness and less of a sergeant's unique steel and iron bones. It is not difficult to see that the movie still intentionally expands the plot to personal heroism, and strives to shape the characters into real men with flesh and blood. The bohemian colors turn to release the prudent, introverted, mature and calm human nature that has never been seen before. Although it is very close to the film's significance for the kindness of human nature and the coldness of war, it still does not escape the breadth and depth of the portrayal of characters in general war movies. There is always a shadow of "Saving Private Ryan" in this film, not only the characterization, the character building, and even the plot development, but some of them feel closer to it, although the two films are conceptually completely The two categories, but in terms of the feeling, they reach the same goal in different ways, and together they move towards thinking about human nature in war. Obviously, the movie does not reach the level of "Ryan". And trust, not through the war scenes to release the thinking of human nature, but through the interaction and confrontation between brothers to integrate part of the thoughts and feelings, compared to the large-scale war movies, the movie still belongs to that. A very niche kind. Aside from the war film, the film is more like a literary film. The so-called inner struggle and weak feelings are just deliberately highlighted by Brad Pitt's few close-ups. , and did not really cover and reflect the choice of human nature through the form of war and play the deep meaning hidden in war films.

Through the interpretation of the film, the biggest reaction in the film is the helplessness of people. Everyone is forced to do things they don’t want to do. Even if they know they are afraid and they know they are going to die, they still bear the so-called The notoriety and moral injustice of deserters, escape is instinct, but dying becomes great in the eyes of others. We always live in the eyes of others and can’t really make our own intentions, but this has created people’s hearts. The hero, this has to be said to be the tragedy of the hero.

For the cowardly interpretation of human nature, the film has made us a deeper understanding. The film uses a series of facts to show us the transformation of an ordinary person, whether it is cowardly, cowardly or afraid, to understand the essence of war death. After reality, people will always inspire a kind of contempt and sympathy for life, no matter whether they are heroes or not, they despise how the enemy kills their comrades in arms, but they sympathize with the people who have been hurt and died in the war. Among the tragedies that cannot be avoided, we can only try to be a person who can survive the war, no matter whether we can become a hero in the end.
