#1917# A full score of 5 gives 3 points. To paraphrase another film review: "Technique is greater than content."
The biggest dissatisfaction with this movie is that its plot is completely distorted in order to set off the emotions and cooperate in the end. In other words, the authenticity of a war story has been lost, and the logic of the story can't help but deliberate. The existence of each plot or the way the story advances is for the purpose of setting off the atmosphere, emphasizing emotions, or facilitating the effect of one shot. For me, one of the flaws of the poor plot logic is that I can't fully engage in watching movies, so I don't really like movies with such problems.
The second point of dissatisfaction is that both the characters and the scene are just a symbol or a kind of emotion. On the surface, one of the two protagonists represents "beauty", and this role is quickly taken care of, which clearly points to the implied meaning of war destroying beauty. The other was polished by war and life into a state of "survival". After a series of experiences in the movie, he seemed to have recovered part of his beauty. But in general, the protagonist of this movie is not even "flat", just a symbol.
From the perspective of war movies, I only want to give it 3 points for this movie. In 1917, many plots were arranged too deliberately. For example, the protagonist climbed ashore with the corpse of a soldier who was soaked in a giant view by the river; hiding from the German army and hiding in the house of a French woman who had escaped the search, the French woman also picked up a baby; two military planes During the exchange of fire, the German aircraft was shot down in front of the protagonist. These corpses, French women, and babies do not exist for the plot, they are all symbols of emotions. After the plot is distorted, no matter how many rotten corpses, women and children in suffering, and broken walls destroyed by bombing, it can no longer show the cruelty of war 100%. Because the cruelty of war depends on true stories to reflect, when you gradually feel that this story is not so true, it is difficult to associate war stories with human suffering. After watching the movie, it feels like seeing a dream, a fable, but not a war movie.
Emphasizing emotion and atmosphere is also pros and cons. The advantage is that some of the pictures and clips in the movie are very, very amazing.
When it comes to the technology that many people are talking about, and the idea of making war films into art films, I feel that it is worth trying. From this perspective, this movie is probably worth 4 points.
The biggest slot: I have never seen a German soldier with such poor marksmanship in that World War I and World War II movie. It is estimated that the protagonist has been chased and beaten by 10 German soldiers from beginning to end. The protagonist of TM crossed the bridge, and the German soldiers hiding on the second floor of the tower opposite the bridge could not hit the protagonist. So many German soldiers chased a British soldier who had traveled for several hours and missed a shot.
