Recently, I have been very interested in some modern American war movies, and after seeing the online evaluation of this pearl harbor is not bad, I thought that I should not step on the thunder, so I watched this 3-hour long film with great interest. Movie.
I vaguely remember that earlier American war films were more based on grand scenes and tragic wars as the main line, leaving a visual feast for the audience. And the recent American war films seem to have changed their style, from the original overall description of the war to focus on each tiny individual. This also seems to reflect the growing emphasis on the individual by American humanistic values.
The theme of the film seems to no longer just emphasize war, but the love-hate relationship between the little people in the war. The beginning of the story seems a bit old-fashioned. The protagonist Leif fell in love with the heroine Evelyn because of a medical examination. The beginning of this kind of love is nothing new to me. And because of the war, Leif had to go to England to participate in the war, while his good brother Danny and his lover Evelyn went to Pearl Harbor. As for the full episode, you can watch it yourself.
There are many reasons why I only give 3 stars to the whole movie. As a love movie with war as the background, in fact, it is still possible to shape the shots and scenes, but the plot is really bloody! It is true that the heroine fell in love with two people at the same time, and I can't understand it. In the end, the hero is still with the heroine and raised the second child's child. Maybe the movie wants to give the theme of friendship over love?
The whole movie seems to be 3 hours long, but the plot is still very compact. What impresses me more is that when those American soldiers were chosen to bomb Tokyo, they probably knew what the consequences might be, but they still chose to accept the mission. It may be because each of them has such a belief, as the lines in the movie describe, "we are the tip of the sword" literally means we are the tip of the sword, and the paraphrase means that we are the elite.
Many people today may scoff at American individual heroism. However, this personal heroism may have given Americans a spiritual and spiritual inspiration during the war.
I have to think about going back to the main line. Whether it is the first male or the second male, between individuals and countries, they all choose the country without exception. Although they both love the heroine Evelyn deeply, the interests of the country will always outweigh the interests of individuals. In fact, I think it is not easy to make such a choice in this environment, because one side is the fog of life and death. , on the other hand is a happy life. It seems that the moment they made the decision was easy, but who knows how long they struggled inside.
But I think every American soldier who was selected at that time, they may not care about life or death, just because "we are the tip of the sword"!
