The brilliance of life

This is another movie that was only seen after 10 years, just like "Schindler's List". The reason for not seeing it before is also the same: I don't believe in my own ability to bear it, and I am afraid that it will not only be useless but harmful after seeing it.

After watching "Assembly Number" and then watch "Saving Private Ryan", the war scenes are less shocking. When I first watched "Assembly Number", it was a company reserved. The colleagues next to him had already seen it first. When it was bloody, I kindly covered my eyes with my hands so as not to be horrified, but I still endured the fear and saw those pictures. If the war itself is so cruel, it does not mean that we can have beautiful imaginations without watching it. , War originally means destruction, and protection and rebirth can only be achieved on the basis of destruction. Of course, if 10 years ago, I would not have watched "Assembly Number" either.

Of course, these 25 minutes are still shocking. Life lies between breathing and breathing. This Buddhist verse will be perfectly interpreted on the battlefield. At this moment, he is still alive, and at the next moment, he is dead. The blood is flowing like a river, and the bones are like a mountain. The moment of life and death is solidified into history. We are still alive, and we have no way to experience the feeling of death. However, death means that life is completely still and the great sorrow of our loved ones. Although, it also means that the country and freedom are protected.

The bullets flew, and the comrades died right by their side, but no one flinched. Life is precious, but there is something more precious than life, so it is worth the price of life in exchange. We living in peaceful times may not be able to grasp that state. If we can grasp it, we may be calmer, may not be crowded and trampled in order to get on the train during the Spring Festival travel season, and may not pay the lives of others as a heavy price. ——Of course, this is just a possibility. No matter how classic movies are, it may be able to change many people, but unfortunately, it cannot change certain facts, such as systems, customs, and the sense of instability in people’s hearts.

One and eight, whose life value is higher? This is never conclusive. The mission of a soldier is obedience, and the highest commander gave such an order out of sympathy for a mother who lost three children in a row. When the mother heard the sound of the car and went out to watch, she understood what it meant without having to speak, and the elderly mother collapsed weakly to the ground. The scene was like a knife. "Sorrowing for my parents, giving birth to me, I have to work hard", in order to protect the country, I can only give up my family. In the war, how many parents lost their sons? How many families are fragmented? "Tai Chi Flag Flying", "Iwo Jima Family Letters"... These films, like "Saving Private Ryan", reveal not just a country, but the harm of war to mankind.

The journey of searching is tortuous and long. How can the parents want to entrust their children to the small team? But they thought that it was a safer place. Of course, they immediately knew how ridiculous this idea was. When the little girl returned to her parents and slapped her father with her hands, she was naive and experienced the terrible war prematurely. She didn't know that such a situation would be in her growth process. No, always remember it. People who are alive have not been bathed in warmth ever since, and the flames of war may have continued in nightmares.

It’s just that during the war, he didn’t have time to take care of so much. Capasso wanted to take the little girl away, saying that she reminded him of his niece. Before he died, he still held the letter of his family tightly, because there was blood on it. Uneasy, because I don't want my parents to be sad after seeing it. Everyone has endless concerns, and they all look forward to the end of the war and go home early, but too many people can't realize this wish.

The team found Ryan, but Ryan was unwilling to leave the battlefield, leaving his mission and comrades in arms. Because of this defense battle, Miller died in the battle. Tom Hanks performed extremely well. In fact, at that moment, I had forgotten that it was a performance, it was a film, because in the actual war, there are countless scenes like this. "Don't disappoint...", the value of life is exchanged for life, peace is exchanged for blood, and tombstones stretch out. Without them, there might not be a quiet green space and blue sky. They remind me of the row of unnamed tombstones that Guzi faces. What a big difference between the unnamed and the famous.

When the old Ryan stood in front of the tombstones, his expression was solemn, and the white tombstones gave off a holy glow. God said that there must be light, so light appeared. But light also needs to be defended, otherwise, it may sink into darkness.

Saving Private Ryan quotes

  • Captain Miller: Well when I think of home, I... I think of something specific. I think of my, my hammock in the backyard or my wife pruning the rosebushes in a pair of my old work gloves.

    Private Ryan: This, this one night, two of my brothers came and woke me up in the middle of the night. And they said they had a surprise for me. So they took me to the barn up in the loft and there was my oldest brother, Dan, with Alice, Alice Jardine. I mean, picture a girl who just took a nosedive from the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down. And... and Dan's got his shirt off and he's working on this bra and he's tryin to get it off and all of a sudden Shawn just screams out, "Danny you're a young man, don't do it!" And so Alice Jardine hears this and she screams and she jumps up and she tries to get running out of the barn but she's still got this shirt over her head. She goes running right into the wall and knocks herself out. So now Danny's just so mad at us. He, he starts coming after us, but... but at the same time Alice is over there unconscious. He's gotta wa... , wake her up. So he grabs her by a leg and he's drag, dragging her. At the same time he picks up a shovel. And he's going after Shawn, and Shawn's saying, "What are you trying to hit me for? I just did you a favor!" And so this makes Dan more angry. He tries to swing this thing, he looses the shovel, goes outta his grasp and hits a kerosene lantern; the thing explodes, the whole barn almost goes up because of this thing. That was it. That was the last, that was, Dan went off to basic the next day. That was the last night the four of us were together. That was two years ago. Tell me about your wife and those rosebushes?

    Captain Miller: No, no that one I save just for me.

  • Captain Miller: It's like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
