The details in the war reflect the war

The first film review tried to write about Saving Private Ryan
- War, Like Love,
the landing battle at the beginning of the eternal topic, showing the various faces of war. Cruel butchers, cowards, staunch believers, valiant warriors, and "soldiers" who die before showing their character... all kinds of practices, all kinds of deaths, all kinds of mutilations Broken limbs, all kinds of wild laughter and crying. Maybe this is the war, the complex composition, the simple result, because no matter which side wins, it is always humans who lose.
It turns out that everyone is a wise man in war, and everyone is a fool. The superior ordered the soldiers to go to war without thinking. And the relatives in the back can understand the coming results without words. When consolation letters are produced, edited, and sent out like rivets on a production line, the military actually finds out that when a mother has lost all her sons, that letter may be a tool capable of killing people. And then the story begins, it's that simple.
There is more than just gunfire on the battlefield. When the words "mama" and "home" came out of the tired soldier's mouth, the feeling was indescribable. Without that experience, without being away from home, without the expectation of coming home, without the fear of surviving, it's hard to understand that feeling. I am not qualified to comment, nor able to empathize. However, when a brother dies and he cannot see his loved ones again, the other companions express their regret, anger, and sadness in various ways. Not to mention whether the abuse of the enemy is justified or not, and whether it is humane, these practices are the most basic human response. Basically, I don't agree with the release of prisoners, there is no need to kill them, but when conditions do not permit, there will be no future troubles.
I think a lot of people would be surprised when Miller spoke about his hometown and occupation. War really can change a person. The contrast is too great to describe. After the movie reaches its climax, the feeling of watching it with one's breath held lasts for a long time. Is this a soldier? Is this the battlefield? Gunshots, cannons, vibrating ground, shattering houses, screams of despair, silent cowardice. Death after death, will the victims of war go to heaven? Can Urban's final awakening be exchanged for his unrequited sin? Maybe no matter how many questions you ask about war, you will be like most family letters, but you will never get rid of one problem. Why have to win?
I think that such a simple rescue operation is only a sporadic part of the world war, like a drop in the bucket, but it is enough to reflect the ruthlessness, complexity, cruelty and injustice of the entire war.
Skip the movie and talk about the movie. There is only one sentence, the nearly 3-hour movie, with a clear rhythm, depicts the real, touching and touching. As far as technical comments are concerned, I have nothing to say, and I don't have the ability to judge.
A bunch of nonsense, to say something useful, it is highly recommended to enjoy this movie again and again.

    Long shots, hand-held photography, textbook-like scheduling, and documentary narrative style are worthy of being the most authentic and excellent war film. The Omaha landing battle and the small town defensive battle, the first and the last offense and one defense gave a strong shock, which truly reflected the fierceness and cruelty of the war. The blood-stained water and the beaches with dead bodies are shocking. In addition to the rain of bullets and tragedy on the battlefield, the film also has many descriptions of the soldiers' hearts and details. Urban's cowardice, Captain Miller's trembling hand, and Melly's fear of the German knife... these scenes of pain caused by war all express the anti-war theme at all times. At the end, Miller, played by Hanks, raised his pistol to face the menacing tank, and how many audiences felt powerless and heartbroken.

    Favorite war movie. 2011.12.8 read it again. I still remember the first time I watched it, I could not wait to rush to the battlefield and do Nazis with American soldiers. But today, I can't bear to let myself go to participate in such a war for the country and the people. Only at the end of the film, I understand that I want to go, I have to go, this is a responsibility that a citizen of a country should fulfill. . Suddenly I also understood that I am not living for me alone.

Saving Private Ryan quotes

  • Captain Miller: Get your gear. Let's go.

    [Reiben stays put]

    Sergeant Horvath: You heard him, gear up. Your captain just gave you an order.

    Private Reiben: Yeah, like the one he gave to take this machine gun. That was a real doosey, wasn't it?

    [walks over to Miller]

    Sergeant Horvath: Soldier, you are way out of line!

    Private Reiben: Yes sir, that was one hell of a call coming to take this nest, but hell, we only lost one of our guys going for it. That's right, I hope Mama Ryan's real fuck'n happy knowing that Little Jimmy's life is a little bit more important than two of our guys! But then again we haven't found him yet have we? Have we?

  • Sergeant Horvath: That's quite a view.

    Captain Miller: Yes it is. Quite a view.
