After re-reading the 120 version, I found that the previous evaluation still stands.

I watched the 24-frame version (No. 11) and the 120-frame version (today, No. 14).

Director Ang Lee's "personal/experience" - although this is also a common theme in American literature - deftly bypasses the common conceptual trap of this subject, but also suspends himself in a piece of in ambiguity. The more topical event brought about by this film is the sense of "super real" at the viewing level. In my opinion, it has obviously surpassed the film, and has connected the current American people's politics and culture in a non-metaphorical sense. perception.
The details are fascinating. For example, in the "First Kiss Behind the Scenes" game, Ang Lee used a lot of jumping axes. The shooting on the same camera intentionally creates a kind of wandering between the protagonist's identification and perception, and the audience has a strong influence here. feel.
The rhythm control is weak, and the dialogue is too much, which is especially redundant under the premise that the original visual expression is quite sufficient.

    Bold delivery of shipments, more technical than story. But Ang Lee's bottom line is already the ceiling of many people~

    In the brief silence between the film's transition, the audience can be heard whispering sobbing. Extremely fascinated by the little details hidden in the movie (similar to the little embarrassment that the soldier himself has to sign after the football is sent out). The best scene is talking about that close-quarters fight: telling the reporter that everything is forgotten, to the girl feeling something bigger than life, the mushroom's soul going through. Finally, in the face of 120 frames of footage, the audience was close-up of the Iraqis he killed.
