Thoughts after "World War"

On the

morning of October 2, 2005, I woke up from the confusion, somehow freshened up, and ran to the cinema. On the last day at home, be sure to watch this movie-"World War".

I have always been very picky about watching movies, not only the work itself, but also the viewing environment. Literary and artistic films, or those that are no longer available in theaters, such as "Farewell My Concubine", are all watched at home. Find an afternoon when your parents are not at home, it's best to close the curtains, open the home theater, prepare drinks and tissues, sit in the position with the best sound effects, and start to plunge into it, laughing or crying. But for large-scale large-scale productions, you must go to the cinema to watch (at the risk of being disturbed by some unethical audiences) in order to fully appreciate the shock of the film, such as "Titanic" and "Troy" , Such as today’s "World War".
The scene of this movie is really big enough, and compared with the previous science fiction disaster movies, it is quite different and new, especially it is completely told from the perspective of an ordinary person. It does not have the heroism of the past American movies and does not appear in the White House. In these cliché scenes of the Empire State Building, soldiers are also the most basic image. Everything is supported by the most simple emotions, the father's protection of the children, and the army's defense of the people are so simple and so admirable.
Spielberg once said that this time he just wanted to make a scary movie. I think he did a good job.
Tom Cruise, for the first time watching him act as a father in the film, he expressed his love for his children from the heart, the fear in his eyes, and his fearlessness. Especially the several rivalries between him and his son in the play, as well as the scenes of having to kill his daughter in the basement to protect his daughter, made me feel his growth and maturity over the years. The forty-three-year-old man is no longer an ambitious young guy. He used to play many salvation hero images, but this time the image of a father with an ordinary worker background is especially admired by me. It is simple and true. This is life.

Looking at the hardships and vicissitudes of the unconcealed man on Tom Cruise's once handsome and youthful face to his middle age, he not only felt the relentless passage of the years, but also made everyone grow and mature. The years passed, and there was no alternative. I still remember that the first time I read Wells’ original novel was in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school. At that time, I was halfway through reading a novel under the lamp at night, and it was difficult to control the tension in my heart. I was afraid of the darkness of the night outside the window, so I turned on the ceiling lamp at home to continue reading. Today, such a movie is full of blood and death, full of panic and carnage. I watched it alone in the dark without much fright. I have also grown up, and gradually mature...

    After a lapse of five years, two brushes, three changes to five stars, a business masterpiece. What is a character? What is a spectacle? What is one, two and three acts? What is the "big" of a blockbuster movie? How to even use special effects? Spielberg has the best director skills in his career, enough for Hollywood to learn it for another hundred years. Focusing on personal escape, the protagonist is almost "do nothing". The macro perspective, anti-climax, anti-hero, etc. are actually quite bold compared to the production of this magnitude at the time, and now it seems much easier to accept. The effects of the strengths and weaknesses of human nature amplified by extreme external forces are the true spectacle portrayed in this film, and the so-called "anticlimactic" actually has a fairly reasonable internal natural view.
