The 7th #法罗岛电影节# The 8th screening day of the main competition unit will bring you "Full Metal Shell", the following is a complicated evaluation of the soldiers on the front line!

Xi Yan:

Xi Yan:

It seems profound, but it is simple.

Chastity:

The rhythms before and after are too different...but the anti-war is full of meaning.

Sporadic and unnamed:

My god, American officers are so capable of babbling.

The heart is a lonely hunter:

The two paragraphs of toilet and sniper are super high-quality, dubbing bunker.

The song is wrong:

Not as expected, the front and back two paragraphs felt a little problematic, and the characterization in the second half didn't give me a good feeling.

Fruit trees:

The high contrast between the front and the back is not only the highlight of the whole film, but also makes people feel polarized. Therefore, I have always disliked the army and soldiers.

Her Majesty:

It is not irreplaceable in war movies. The instructor's curse clips have been paid tribute and imitated countless times. The final shooting decision is actually a forced sensationalism, and it is not tenable to associate it with people's goodwill.

Xiaofeng and your waning moon:

Except for the shooting of the female sniper in the last two minutes and the soundtrack of the battlefield, it was not much impressive and did not affect me too much. I always feel that the narrative rhythm is problematic. Perhaps I have higher expectations for Kubrick. For Kubrick, this film could have done much better.

Toda people:

The narrative rhythm of the whole movie and the characterization are very problematic. Except for the life and death of the clown and Lawrence, the lives and deaths of other people are really totally unsympathetic. Of course, there are two highlight points, the sniper and the toilet... These two bring me a lot. Big shock, then? The handling was quite bad, and the training camp stage in the first half gave me great expectations, but the second half was quite frustrating.

I know her a little bit:

"I once staggered on twelve misty mountains, I crawled on six winding highways, I stepped into the depths of seven sorrowful forests, I faced twelve dead seas, I used to It’s thousands of miles to walk into the mouth of the tomb, and it was a rainstorm, it was an upcoming rainstorm. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed child? Oh, what did you see, my dear child?"

sparrow:

Human nature theme of anti-Vietnam War theme. I prefer the repressive and urgent rhythm in the first half, eliminate individual differences in the process of swearing paradigm, annihilate humanity, and drive to a climax: fat man kills him and swallows guns. In the second half, there is no rush. The born to kill and the anti-war badge joker are the contradiction between the killing machine under the war system and the remaining rationality. The moment the trigger is pulled, it shows that the war is distorting human nature and perverted and suppressed. Injustice.

Cornice:

In the first half, one after another in the barracks life paved the way for the male protagonist's psychological change in the second half, creating a sense of fear that the secondary characters gradually alienated and distorted. The interpretation of the complexity and diversity of human nature continues from beginning to end, and the harshness of war has also been exaggerated from the barracks training. The evolution of human nature is emotionally connected with environmental changes, so I feel that the two parts are not very separated, but the battlefield part is displayed. It's a bit monotonous, not quite like Lao Ku's usual style.

Pincent:

I am still disappointed in Kubrick's dimension, and I feel that I may not even be able to enter the pre-20 war movie. Clear segmentation, two gunshots before and after, and the formal structure of three Vietnamese women. The film tells about the failure of trying to put down the gun. The full metal shell covers the flesh and blood of human nature. It is impossible to clear itself in violence and promotes peaceful but Born to kill, the duality of human nature is like a joke in itself. At the beginning of the training camp, the relationship between the mentor and the campers was very beautiful. The tight and high-density abusive oppression became the norm for the audience to feel intuitively, and the backsight became a relatively spectator mode, although this spectator is still more panoramic. , Until I finally found out that this is still a story about a person and the nature of others. The soundtrack for the last ten minutes is very good.

Too much smoke:

Extremely senseless, extremely boring. I don't like to watch war movies like my dad, so it doesn't exist because I don't like this movie because of genre. So the truth is: Kubrick's movie is really not good.

First of all, from the perspective of the plot, the treatment of several sections is good. The two scenes that impressed me the most are the toilet kill and the female sniper. It is a pity that other places seem to be very ordinary, nothing. feature. What's more terrifying is that the undertaking between these bridge sections is even more direct and terrible. There is no transition, no turning point, just go directly to the next one? Director Ku, we are watching a complete movie, not an interlude!

Another point is that the characterization is not very good. Except for the fat man who committed suicide by swallowing a gun, no other soldiers felt anything obvious. And the character design of the Vietnamese female sniper is a bit of forcibly connected to the anti-war feeling, it is really unable to impress people.

In short, the feeling that this movie brings to me is even far inferior to that of "Blood Wars Hacksaw Ridge"······

#FIFF7#DAY8's main competition scores will be released on the broadcast later, please wait and see.

    It seems absurd and funny, but it is American hippies' reflection on the pain of war. Extremely violent battlefield (training camp) nightmares and symbols of cynicism appear at the same time. The peace charter and Born to kill are juxtaposed and form a funny thing with bullets. The image of the devil, the theme of the film is of course the irony of sexual violence and the state apparatus. What can be called the Kubrick version of Catch-22
