started, and Hollywood began to have a nostalgic style. World War II films one after another, starting with "Saving Private Ryan", then "Band of Brothers", "Horse Whisperer", "Pearl Harbor" , now I have Spielberg's "The Banner of the Fathers", and found that this old man is about to become a World War II film professional.
"Father's Flag" is mainly about the story behind a photo of an era icon: a photo of the American flag raised on Iwo Jima. The significance of this photo to Americans is probably as sublime as the Statue of Liberty.
However, the more serious Americans dug up the story behind the photo, and found that the photo they saw was not the first time the tree was erected, and the characters did not match the number. Of course, this does not affect the glorious image of this photo, the film just highlights the conflicts and contradictions faced by the protagonist in front of the public and the real situation. Moreover, the experience and treatment of these heroes, especially the Indians, after becoming a fleeting sight, makes people sigh.
The narration at the end of the film said: Maybe there are no so-called heroes in the world, they may be ordinary people like my father. I finally understand why it feels so awkward when they are called heroes, heroes are made by us, or something we need, it's a way to make us understand something incomprehensible, why some people are willing to do it for us And sacrifice so much. They were in danger, traumatized, just like my father, what they did for their brothers. They may be fighting for their country, but they are dying for their comrades in arms, for those who fought alongside each other, if we really want to praise them, we should remember them for who they really are, just as they were in my father's mind .
I also feel that heroes are shaped or created. What do we need? publicity? educate? politics? example? Anyway, for something that people need, we have to have heroes. Because something about some heroes reminds us that something still exists, truth, goodness, beauty, bravery, righteousness, righteousness. . . . . Not fake, not didactic, not just in books. Otherwise, the last moral pillar will collapse, and this society will be even more dark and chaotic. So sometimes it feels like an era of heroes is also a sad era: because we have to dig and create something to meet our spiritual needs, but let people believe that something exists, because in real life we can't see or have there is none left. I think this is also the meaning of similar moving Chinese characters. And in order to shape heroes and strengthen their influence, they blindly magnify the hero's shining points during publicity. In the end, the hero almost becomes a god who does not eat the fireworks of the world. His personality and morality are perfect, so the words that can be used to describe the good are piled on the hero. . Let us mortals dwarf ourselves, sigh, and kneel at the feet of heroes to worship. This kind of propaganda not only brings a negative effect to the hero, but also misunderstands that the masses cannot view the heroic deeds and the hero himself from a correct, objective and true perspective. I think this is the shortcoming of our current social reporting and publicity. Therefore, after the heroes in the movie return to their hometowns, when this gust of wind passes, in front of real life, their halo can no longer cover them, and they are quickly ignored by society. And that's exactly the kind of treatment a true hero shouldn't receive. Adversity sees the truth, heroes are like this, and we should do the same to heroes. Not temporary, superficial, but forever, from the bottom of my heart.
I suddenly remembered a story: When a reporter interviewed a Vietnam War hero and asked him how he felt about being a hero, the hero tore off the medal hanging on his chest and said, "I don't want to be a goddamn hero because if I don't kill him They, they're going to kill me!" I thought, this is the real hero.
Thinking of my mother, their generation is also a banner in my heart, and finally had an influence on my public welfare activities. I think this movie is not only a tribute to the previous generation, but also a restoration of them. Make everything more real and natural.
The music in this movie is not bad, but I found out that the music is Eastwood! incredible.
