"Golden Age"-Veterans Dream Show

This childlike version of the wedding march is really nice

A war story featuring warmth and romance. The film mainly tells the story of three veterans returning home. Some people have lost their healthy bodies, some people have lost their own value, and some people have lost their family and happiness for many years. The happiness of going home is another unfamiliar world. Without the rain of bullets, we also have to face the crisis of survival: work, relatives, and love all threaten the pillars of ordinary people’s confidence. This two-hour and fifty-minute film was beautiful in every detail, interspersed with support and encouragement from the government to the bank for other veterans to support themselves, and finally ended with a complete wedding. From a personal point of view, it looked like a propaganda film of mainstream thought. The only one who came out to question the war was dismissed by the sentence "Do you think the soldiers are stupid?" At this time, the suspicion of being a show is quite high. NS.

This couple's flirtation really won my heart

It is worthy of recognition that this work pays high tribute to veterans who fought bravely. After describing in detail the setbacks that veterans will encounter when they return home, it uses mainstream media values ​​to optimistically and positively evaluate their return to China. In the future, people who are simply touched "talk with tears". If you are a veteran who has been married for a long time and expedition for many years, then you will have a whole new world and a happy family waiting for you when you go home; if you are a veteran who has just been married, you will find your own values ​​after returning home. The outlook on life is completely backward, then after your divorce, there will be a Mori girl full of fairy tales waiting for you; if you are unfortunately disabled, my dear, you will be the luckiest, because your family is busy waiting for you, And your lover is crying and crying to marry you.

Dedicated to all men who are married and eager for the fluttering flags

This work with a smooth plot and full characters won the 19th Oscar for Best Picture. There is nothing wrong with it, and it can even be said to be very special, because in the Oscar Best Picture I have seen so far, it is brainwashing patriotism. This subject is the most vivid. The girls can choose to live in the romance of the prince’s necrophilia, and the boys can also dedicate their youth to this supremely glorious arrogance. It has to be said that if the Celestial Dynasty made more high-quality war-themed films such as "pre-war mobilization, brotherhood in the war, reflection after the war, and happy going home" in the United States, it would now be much easier to recruit troops.

What surprised me most was that the sailor was actually a disabled soldier. At the end of the film, the director let the audience see how he took off his prosthesis, and laughed at himself, "If the door is blown on by the wind, I can only look like a baby. "Cry the same", think of the optimism, hard work, kindness, and changes in a series of psychological activities he showed in the whole film, and you can understand the honor this film brings to him. It can be said that he is a model soldier who touched the United States. The perseverance of character and pure patriotism calmed the veterans' hearts, and spread love and hope through personal demonstrations. We can have reflection, but after reflection, more is to face life bravely.

Fred is a more complicated character. Years of military work not only left indelible scars on his soul, but also became a nightmare that could not sleep well every night after returning home, and these were not understandable by his simple-minded wife. , The derailment at this moment seems to have become a fair excuse. The director took great pains to fit this arrogant and a little clever charming man with a happy love package. Fortunately, his military career gave him the calmness and courage to face sudden changes. The departure of his wife gave him the determination to be reborn. He is determined to start with the work of collecting waste products and give up the indispensable lofty self-esteem and glory, because this is the true self. After taking off the military uniform, he will steadily find his personal value. Here is a clip of the event that I am concerned about at my age: Fred is determined to go to another city to start again. Although his parents are worried, they fully support his actions. Thinking of the idea that "parents are not traveling far away" in many places in the heavenly dynasty, it is really embarrassing. Many young people hold the banner of filial piety and stay at the work arranged by their parents. I don’t know if they really think that by staying with their parents and letting them see how peaceful their lives are, it’s filial piety, or they are afraid of being in one place. The loneliness and fear in the renewed struggle in a strange environment. But I like the tolerance and understanding shown by parents in many foreign films. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, these families lack an atmosphere of affection, but I think that children in this kind of family live more like an independent thinking, able People who are responsible for their own lives, not robot children whose programs have been lost since birth.

Classic lines:

"You know what that will look like, don't you, Peggy? It may take many years to go elsewhere. We have no money and no clean accommodation. We have to work and get kicked." This confession feels much more reliable than "without a diamond ring but with heart".

    Women in the films of that era were too Madonna; musical old-school thriller. However, the theme of the film is deeper than many post-9/11 so-called anti-war films. It explores how one's future is affected by the historical process and carries out positive patriotic education, full of humanistic idealism, and immediately after the war. For a work that reflects such a reflection on war, it is logical to win the best picture.

    Now it seems like it's all a routine, and the direction of each story can be guessed, but it is still so moving that I cried several times. There are so many moving details in the work. It can be compared with Japan's "Wild Dogs", "Black Rain" and "Taro Bugs", and think of the words of the Persian Minya poet: "May God bless the pursuers and the pursued", and may God bless those injured by bombs People, and bless those who threw bombs... Only one year after the war, such works came out in the United States. The war has greatly damaged life and people's hearts, which is sad. The stories of the three veterans move forward at the right pace. Several women are like angels like the Virgin, men are destroyers, women are forces of comfort and reconstruction. Although it is a bit idealistic, it is estimated that it should be a great comfort to the traumatized people at that time.

  • Peggy Stephenson: I'm going to break that marriage up! I can't stand it seeing Fred tied to a woman he doesn't love and who doesn't love him. Oh, it's horrible for him. It's humiliating and it's killing his spirit. Somebody's got to help him.
