But I didn't, because this horse magically connected too many people and events. Every time I burst into tears and that tear was about to fall, I suddenly found that the movie had begun to tell another story.
Not to mention the extreme beauty of photography, that horse battle and another charge battle are also quite imposing, but one person, no, one horse strung together so many unrelated people and things, isn't the narrative too much? Messy? Are there too many coincidences? Is it too ingenious and contrived? Why do humans have to be so nice to a horse? In the middle of the battlefield, a person falls there with no one to help, and a horse falls in the middle of the battlefield of the two armies, and there are "brave" soldiers who love pets to rescue. Is it reasonable?
The beauty of photography has two points. First, when Joey was plowing the field, the camera was placed on the plowshare, and he trembled to see the soil turn upside down. The silhouettes of figures in the sunset like oil paintings are deliberately designed no matter how you look at them, such as the remake of Gone with the Wind, but fortunately they are quite beautiful.
In fact, the beginning feels quite good. It shows the oppression of the capitalists and the rich second generation of the capitalists against the poor working people, as well as the resistance and hard work of the grassroots class. It is very inspirational and shocking.
But an hour has passed, and after Hiddleston and Cumberbatch (the legendary soft girl and missing father), the feeling has taken a sharp turn. It is obvious that Spielberg wants to stuff too many people and things here, I I thought Hiddleston would be a protagonist, but he was killed in a second... What is this?
I don't need so many stories. If Director Si made this story as a soft girl classmate who took the war horse through tens of thousands of hardships and finally reunited with the owner of the horse. This would have been a good story. But Stephen obviously wants to add too much of his feelings about the war to it. Please, we have already seen your Schindler and Ryan. Well, you add more episodes to the same old tune. It's better to tell the friendship between a child and a robot like an iron fist. To be honest, the story of one horse and two owners is already complicated enough, and you let it change its owners ~~~ A story, too unusual, as unusual as Zhang Yimou's story of prostitutes and schoolgirls. The stories of these two masterpieces by these two famous directors are too messy. Spielberg didn't tell a good story. Hey, of course, it is better than the thirteen hairpins. At least it moved me a few times. Many lines are still very interesting. Powerful. The Thirteen Hairpins tell the story of our country, but not only did I not feel moved, but also made me feel a little bored, Director Zhang, you are very problematic!
There is also the stupidity of making German and French troops speak English, sometimes giving the illusion of a melee between British troops and American troops in German uniforms.
The only thing that satisfies me is the first hour, although there is no war scene, pure rural scenery, but it reminds me of the soil, grass, sunshine as a child, and the deep friendship with my two Chinese pastoral dogs. . The friendship between animals and people is so profound that I can't help but sigh when I recall it. Horses are like this, how can people be worthy?
It is said that Spielberg still photographed the beauty of horses. "The Beauty of Horses", when I saw the trailer, I thought in my heart that if I wrote a film review after watching the feature film, I would probably use the title.
But I didn't praise you so much, because, in fact, I only needed a plain story, but you didn't give it to me.
