Talk about the soundtrack

A movie that was opened at random, only to find out that it was directed by Edwardswick after watching it. The film is a bit slow and requires a little patience.

In the face of war, liberation and death, blacks are no different from whites. White heads can win the respect of black soldiers, and black soldiers can be more brave than whites. Everyone is equal in duty, compassion, empathy and honor.

The soundtrack sounds like Horner's, and at the end it really is! The combination of the same director and soundtrack, the music in this part is not as outstanding as the four seasons, maybe this is the main theme movie after all. It can be felt that the soundtrack of the film five years later is still influenced by the film of 1989, or it is the continuation of Horner's style. Probably most people don't like this slow-paced classical and epic-style film and soundtrack. After all, there are not so exciting "contemporary" movies and soundtracks, but it is indeed in my heart.

I was so excited to see Horner's name. There must also be a good composer in heaven.

    I was going to give it only two stars, but I added one to Denzel Washington. In all fairness, I like this director very much, but can the movie end without having to fight, spray some blood, and die in honor? At around 100 minutes, the movie could have ended successfully with a salute to Shaw on the beach, and just listing the casualties is heartwarming enough. Before the big scene, you still need to think about whether you need a big scene. White space is a science.

    The story of the success of the fool + the love of partners + the golden fleece, the illiterate and ignorant fish out of the water, resolve conflicts and become complete when getting along, and finally pursue a common mission. The highlight of this film is that everyone in the 54th Army is a fish out of the water. Colonel Robert did not understand military training and politics at first (because the 54th Army can go to the battlefield naturally), did not understand how to understand black soldiers; Forbes always confuses personal affairs with official duties; black soldiers do not know the discrimination of northern whites; Trip-among black soldiers The fish out of the water-a sense of reality but no sense of mission. In the end, they all perfected themselves and formed a cohesive team. The downside of this film is that everyone outside the 54th Army is too facial. The 54th Army was highly motivated because of its mission, but other black legions were content with burning, killing and looting; Robert and Forbes believed in the liberation of blacks, while other whites (regardless of rank) regarded blacks as slaves of freedom.
