This film is about the experience of the military doctor Desmond Dawes in the last battle in the Pacific.
This is a war film in the true sense. The killing and cruelty of war, bloody and decisiveness are truly presented by the director. It makes people feel that it has the same narrative skills as a documentary, and it also supplements historical images. material.
Although the whole film is about faith, I think the film is going to tell us more than faith. Behind faith is great love and respect for life. As Dawes said, "People are now splitting the world, but I want to piece it together." The whole film integrates the themes of great love with life, faith, responsibility, family and love, and slowly unfolds. In the heroic character and bloody battlefield, it blends with the heroic tenderness of the hero. Let us experience the delicacy of love while experiencing the intuitive conflict of war.
The male protagonist refused to carry a rifle because he had always held the belief of "Never Kill" in the sixth of the Ten Commandments of the Bible. He wants to save, not kill. Burdened with misunderstanding and tolerance, the male protagonist returned to the battlefield again and again to save the wounded, rescued his comrades who had opposed him, saved the Japanese, and saved his boss who had never been optimistic about him. In the eyes of others, he was considered timid, proud, and stubborn, but every rescue portrayed by the director, he showed such a brave and fearless person to us. In the end, Dawes blocked the grenade. The director cleverly did not let him take a rifle. But Dawes finally fought back like a soldier on the battlefield. But the subject and character were successfully sublimated at this moment. While adhering to his faith, Dawes Has become a real fighter.
On the battlefield, the comrades and bosses who used to fight against each other would never think that when they were fighting hard, they might become the unfortunate one who was injured. In that situation, we might as well put ourselves in and think about how longing it was at that time. Someone can save their lives and take themselves home, even if they can only use morphine to ease their pain...
The director's shooting technique is very clever. The three battles are distinguished by different tones, with a gradual narrative, and advancement with just the right sense of rhythm. The first time was mainly red, indicating an attack, using mid-range and close-range shots, step by step approaching the bunker and blowing up; the second time was mainly blue, basically using the perspective, one was to explain the background, and the other was to make people feel powerless to control the battle. It was also the time when the U.S. military was defeated and the protagonist played a role; the third time was yellow, highlighting the final offensive of the war, and at the same time, the user montage technique portrayed the scene of the Japanese crouching when they surrendered. Such exquisite and true methods make people sigh with the grand pattern and humanitarianism of the director himself. The director is good at using close-up shots, such as the rope Daws uses to rescue the wounded, such as the face of the wounded, such as Daws's face after being injured, and the sense of substitution is very strong.
The director's narrative technique mainly adopts the ring structure and flashback structure that echoes from the beginning to the end. The narration is smooth and natural, the montage is natural to edit, the film's paving and climax are also just right, and the sense of rhythm is just right.
The director's combination of sound and picture is also very good. Every time Daws's breathing and footsteps mimic the regularity of people's movements to the greatest extent, so that we and the male lead can feel the ups and downs together. In the end, the male protagonist was seriously injured when he returned from a grenade. Daus was lying on a stretcher, close to the sky (upside down, soft light), and gentle music sounded. This kind of music seemed to be Daus talking to God, he guarded. Living in the faith in the heart, saving too many lives, the director praised a great soul in this way.
I was in tears watching this film. The first time I saw a very real war scene, the cruelty of the war, the cruelty of killing, and the moment when the casualties and lives of soldiers disappeared, my heart was cut with a knife. The second time Dawes bid farewell to the friend who had been with him. He watched him open his eyes and lose his breath like that, and then slowly closed his friend with the blood and mud on the hand wearing the wedding ring. Eyes... Just as "Billy Lynn" said, you can’t watch your friend die in front of you... The third time is when Dawes returns to the battlefield countless times, in the midst of the bullets and bullets, rescuing the hacksaw. The wounded soldier in Ling said, "I can save another one, please let me save another one"... Just like "Schindler's List", Schindler also said at the end, if I can spend less, maybe more Save someone. "Heroes see the same thing", they all regard life as a lofty belief, with extreme goodness and extreme love, acting as angels in evil, turning those divisions and hideousness into a shower of rain, and let the world forget about it. War and killing each other.
