YOU RESISTED SACRIFICING
YOUR LIFE FOR FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND HONOR.
I still look back on those two hours I sat in the movie theater with an unforgettable shock.
To be honest I can't give a fair assessment, because I learned about this doomed history before, which means that people who have already grasped the direction of the whole movie will not have time to watch a new movie. speculation, anticipation, unease and even surprise. The assassination at the beginning of the film and the family playing together in the middle (actually, I think the music part is a bit redundant, is it just to emphasize the name of the song and it needs to be turned for a few minutes...) I didn't expect it, but it didn't. It didn't bring me any surprise, but at the end of the movie, he said that his wife lived until 2006, which made me even more shocked (囧)...
Well, the above is nonsense, please ignore it.
The first part of the movie about seizing power is very fast, and I even felt a bit of a time rush when I watched it, maybe the director wanted to give the audience a sense of urgency and a sense of being careful and sneaky, but—sorry for that feeling I didn't feel that the trailer was more satisfying in terms of the jumps between episodes and the tension in that regard.
Speaking of the plot, the story development of this film can be described as "ups and downs": first the colonel was invited to join and then rejected, and then joined the opinion but was not accepted, the first assassination of Hitler failed, and the second assassination almost failed. Exposure, the bomb exploded, and there was no coup in the capital. After the coup, groups of people who couldn't tell the difference between friends and enemies... Even the smallest things must be mixed with unexpected twists and turns that make your heart hang. Just put it down and hang it up again. I personally think that such a design can arouse people’s emotions under the theme of revolution, which is like a battlefield (I shouted a lot of “Is there a mistake” orz in the movie theater completely regardless of the image), but in the end, the director is psychologically The ability to describe is not enough, and the influence is not too great.
There are many places in this film that are said to be "dog blood", indeed. For example, the bland negotiation and persuasion of others to join the alliance, the colonel shouting "Long live the Holy Germany" before his death, etc. If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing outstanding about this film. But one thing must be vindicated - Tom Cruise's acting. His acting skills are not too flawed. Personally, he plays the role of the colonel that the director wants to express very well (the reason why I add the words "what the director wants to express" is because I I feel that the director or screenwriter didn't really understand the character's character, meaning, and some kind of German spirit that he showed), and he is the most complete and detailed psychological person in the entire film. Even if you use him to bribe the radio personnel with money, unable to express the deep connotation of the role (I still think it is the director's problem), but it still can't change the fact that his acting skills in Hollywood for so many years are not covered .
But to say that I am most impressed with this film is the more than ten minutes at the end of the film. I didn't expect the director to go through such a slow (relative to the opening) pace in detailing how each person died. In terms of technique, this is naturally cumbersome, but it does give a lot of impact. This kind of slow and unstoppable death naturally makes people feel unwilling to face it during the broadcast, but it is in line with the thick black at the beginning or end of the film or even on the promotional poster. To a certain extent, I think the death in this film is as tragic as the artilleryman in "Assembly" that went up with explosives and died with the tank (the scene was not only slow motion but also silenced).
Overall, this movie is by no means a terrific, straight-forward blockbuster, but if you want to watch one without drowning in a romance that's flying all over the air in February and March, it's a good one. s Choice.
Extra rant:
I actually like the colonel's bodyguard a lot~~ He's beautiful and loyal~~ and the act of blocking the bullet at the end knows it's useless, but his eyes are firm (well, I actually thought of some kind of romance novel at the time. The life-and-death confession garbage episode...)~~ Someone next door to me has been entangled for more than an hour since he came out and guessed that he was a traitor, hahaha...
