"Army Field Hospital"
4.5. The third act turned out to be a rugby sports film, and I don’t understand the fusion of genres.
The shooting technique is similar to instinct, Chinatown and the like, and the pace is too fast. The audience enters the next episode before digesting it, and they should slow down moderately.
To shoot the inside of a person, just shoot what his hands are doing. This is an effective method.
I can feel the backwardness of technology, it may be mainly because the sound is not done well, which leads to a slight DV feeling. There are also problems with editing, and there is a sense of lack. Perhaps it should be said that this is not a mature director.
The Last Supper, guitar singing, and death in the smoke are too romantic.
The performance of several protagonists who don't care about the destruction of the world made the audience very happy.
The whole atmosphere is handled like a documentary. For the first time, a director made war lose its previous heroism on the screen, and became synonymous with terror and spiritual emptiness.
This kind of shooting is bold enough today: the whole process has no main line, pure fragmented narration and even piled up; scattered perspective has no focus, everyone is the protagonist, but everyone is just a supporting role; every operation seems to be They all violated big taboos, but they had an unexpected effect. They used absurd methods to map even more absurd behaviors—that is, war. Altman dared to play this way in his first big investment film, he was really crazy.
