The rhythm of Saving Private Ryan's film, most of which is a storm of killing, is real and shocking. But the moment the phonograph sounded out, it returned to a numb calm.
Before this, the contradictions of human nature abound in this film, such as Corporal Urban in the search and rescue of Ryan's team, he released the captured German soldier in the action, and it was this man who killed Brave Fighter in the end , lead the team to find Ryan's captain. Corporal Urban ended up killing the Germans he had let go with his own hands, ending the human frailty of insubordination to war.
There is humanity in cruelty, and danger in humanity. There's a moment in this nerve-wracking film that lets people forget about the death and trauma of war, and instead just look at these weary soldiers. They lost their comrades in arms and made plans to die for themselves. Fortunately, they could take a breather, listen to a French chanson, and look back on the good memories of peace before the final war verdict.
At that time, the captain's team decided to stay and guard a bridge of last resort with Ryan's troops, waiting for a German force that was much larger than them. It seemed a bloody battle was inevitable. After some formation, they waited in the empty and dilapidated town.
A gramophone was moved outside, and Edith Piaf's mournful singing after the French chanson wafted in the quiet alleys. Edith's song is largely regarded as a symbol of the flower capital of Paris, and for these American soldiers, it means Paris that is very close to them (now the ruins they are in), and the distance from them. Romance from afar (lovers and relatives in hometown, all tender memories).
The peace before the fierce battle, in such heartbreaking Paris rose-like singing, is extraordinarily full of tension. Urban, the guests and others talked about women, while the captain and Ryan talked about family and memories. Their small talk, like Edith's singing, was full of warmth and ominous omen, and this seemingly peaceful atmosphere, like a full bow, touched the heartstrings.
Let's not talk about the latter, I really hope the movie can stay at this beautiful moment. The sun shone through the ruins, the gramophone glowed, and the figures of the warriors were golden.
As a young man who has only heard about the battlefield from his parents, this movie made me truly feel the death caused by war, which is the most invisible and painful. I used to think that peace was the norm and that war was just the history of the last century, but I didn't really think about what kind of people gave my country such a peaceful development path.
Salute to all the soldiers who have fought for their beliefs and missions. They have families, youth, and the right to happiness, but they are more passionate. This greatness lies in their commitment beyond ordinary people to face and create peace for their families. .
