Those who have been on the battlefield can only stay on the battlefield forever

The film opens with a wedding and ends with a war. I spent a lot of time on the beauty of the pre-war weekend, the real war scene, followed by irreparable trauma and irreversible tranquility and happiness. Before watching it, I already knew about Nick's death and his memory recovery before he died. I used to think it was cruel, but when I really watched it, I felt that the last second of thinking about the past might be complete, so that the last memory in his life can be friends and Yuhi. And his soul can finally "go home". It is true that "Blood on the Street" is known as the Hong Kong version of "Deer Hunter" for a certain reason, but unfortunately "Blood on the Street" devoted too much space to gun battles and brothers fighting. And "The Deer Hunter" is advanced. There is no specific character in the movie who is the villain. Even the Viet Cong who abused the prisoners is not the villain in the real sense. The villain that shreds all good life is war itself. Therefore, the core of a great war movie must be anti-war. Never thought that the old actor Christopher Walken, who often played cold and evil characters, was so handsome and handsome when he was young. From certain angles, he would think of David Bowie and some other rock and roll pretty boys. I can't listen to it later. When you take my eyes off you, you will never feel only sweet and happy again.

    The wedding at the beginning is undoubtedly a classic fragment in the scene

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] I was fortunate to watch the 4K restoration of this great epic work on the big screen. From the beginning to the end, I was haunted by singing, and three hours passed in a flash, as if I had experienced a sad old dream that seemed to be true and illusory. Just the opening song "Can't Take My Eyes off You" hits people's hearts directly. The half-hour Russian wedding was arranged in a rich and harmonious manner, which made the audience linger in the dance and the Russian chorus "Katyusha" and other melodies. The revelry of the wedding and the tranquility of the deer hunting paved the way for the cruelty of the war, forming a sharp contrast. Thrilling gunshots are crushing instead of beautiful singing. Russian roulette may be a dramatic reproduction of being shot on the battlefield, destroying the will of every individual enemy and us, falling into the abyss of madness and loss. The myth of Russian-American identity runs through. Returning home to avoid celebrating the loneliness, only shrouded in the disability and inner haze of a close friend. Let the love in the heart and the body of a close friend usher in death. The ending of a song "God Bless America", there is also hope in the endless irony and sadness. Sitting in the theater in the melodious ending song, it feels like a world away
