Uncle Stone, this old angry young man

I have always felt that I am a very calm person. I don’t think much of anything in society that deserves a lot of anger from many people. There may be small waves in my heart, but I won’t get emotional and want to pat the table on the street to protest against God’s horses. But Uncle Stone, an old angry youth, made me extremely excited when watching his movies. Maybe this is the point of venting where my aggrieved emotions have accumulated. Can't help but spit out a few words.
When the professor talked about Stone in class, he used JFK as an example. He said that a previous student didn’t know the whole story of JFK. He just saw Stone’s movie version and believed it to be true. It took him a lot of effort to explain to him that this was not true. real. I remember seeing JFK at that time and I was quite convinced, thinking that there is really a huge conspiracy behind this whole incident. Even after watching it for a while, I thought it was just a documentary that was a little bit inciting. Stone's power is very powerful. But after watching the field platoon, my first feeling was that Michael Moore, who was still admired when Fahrenheit came out on September 11, was too tender. = =
Watching war movies without subtitles in a noisy classroom, I can imagine that there are many The consequences of unintelligible lines are still deeply shocking. The biggest feeling of the whole film is that the soldiers don't know what they are doing.
The biggest difference between Vietnam War and World War II lies in the controversy of Vietnam War. Therefore, the Vietnam War movies and even mention of the Vietnam War basically contain all kinds of controversial discussions.
It is clear to this film that the soldiers have never been given a clear order. In addition to digging pits and burying people and messing with gods and horses every day, they are walking through the jungle, being ambush, and then counting the days when they go home, hoping to save their lives until the day when they go home. go home.
Second, it was not the Viet Cong who killed, but the extreme cruelty of cannibalism. This rises to the level of human nature.
Finally, I don't know if this is an exaggeration (or believe Stone's own description as a veteran). The American soldiers in Vietnam are like the Japanese devils we know. "Don't kill him, he is just afraid." "Afraid? What about me? Then am I not afraid?" Old people, women, and even children are all let go, and even too many people have been killed to be buried with bulldozers. I think the reason why Dafoe's character was killed is also related to his protection of civilians. Will people regain their wildness after staying in the jungle for a long time?
Then I personally have been very ignorant before that this classic gesture of raising my hand and looking up to the sky is a code from Shawshank’s salvation, and then the homogee is all about Shawshank, for the sake of freedom, it also makes sense. Out here. I have to say that the filming of Dafoe's death was too shocking. First at the moment when he was killed, then he was chased seven or eight shots and fell to the ground in slow motion. It's too classic.
Finally, I have to vomit again, and the whole film is trying to find johnny. But only when I wrote about him in the final subtitles, I saw the immature profile face with capped paper ==. . .

    In the army and in war, there is no humanity at all. Sympathy and compassion are all thrown away in war and training.
