War Movies Don't Just Show Victory, Cruelty, and Sacrifice

I found that I increasingly prefer this kind of realistic but not sensational (of course, the cold and solemn brushstrokes already contain full of emotions) war films. This kind of work does not deliberately stand in line. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is no political position or ideology at all. It can only be said that it can at least not put these in the first place. The characters here will not have all kinds of Gao Weiguang just because they are the righteous side, there will also be ignorance, weakness, ignorance, and evil side, nor will they be blindly evil because they are villains, do all the bad things, but also have a desire for peace , warmth, revealing the light side of human nature. The director always chooses a certain point of view, or takes a person or the cross-section of an event as an entry point, and sees the big from the small, so that you can follow him to experience some deeper things under the theme of war. To show the real scenes and details of the war as objectively as possible, on the one hand, it will expose the insignificance of people under the influence of the great historical trend of war, and then show the complexity and diversity of human nature under this extreme situation. Just doing these is doomed that the film will not be bad, on the contrary, domestic films of the same theme will have to learn it (of course, it also depends on the overall environment of the creation and censorship system).

Band of Brothers quotes

  • Sgt. Alton More: I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.

    Ronald Spiers: So, you looked at 'em, but you didn't take 'em?

    Sgt. Alton More: That's right, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: I don't believe you! I'll be watching you. You're dismissed.

    [as Moore leaves, smirking]

    Ronald Spiers: You'd better not be lying to me.

  • Ronald Spiers: What?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Sir, if it's not going to put you in too much of a bind, I'd like to resign as company First Sergeant. If I had my choice, I miss being back amongst the men. I'd be happy to go to as Staff Sergeant, whichever platoon you want to put me in.

    Ronald Spiers: Well, I guess you've earned your right to demote yourself.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Thank you, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: You wanna take over Sergeant Grant's platoon?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: That would do fine, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: Alright then, report to Lieutenant Peacock. Let me know if he gives you any trouble.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Oh, sir? You make your decision yet?

    Ronald Spiers: Yeah, I did.
