"Dunkirk" made me see a different war movie, but a real war. There is no clear protagonist halo, no arduous struggle alone, no fierce national hatred, just a group of ordinary people who want to live and hope that more people can survive, they are afraid of bombing, afraid of abandonment, afraid of death, they are desperate They hold on to their desperate insistence. The despair is that the motherland is close at hand but cannot be reached. What they insist is that they still have a simple and pitiful wish - I want to go home. The film is divided into three timelines, one week, one day, and one hour. The three timelines proceed separately and eventually converge. The staggered time and space break up people's expectations for the protagonist, but spread out the entire perspective of facing the war. A week at the beach has been a long week of desperate struggles. A day on the boat is a big day for this ordinary family. An hour in the sky is an hour when the Air Force Jedi counterattacks and turns the tide. The Dunkirk retreat was not a glorious victory, but an inspiring miracle. Some said it was a retreat, some said it was a rescue, some said it was an escape, some said it was a fluke. No matter how public opinion views it, this retreat is unique, because if I was the one who experienced it at the time, and you ask me how I feel about this retreat, I believe I should only be able to recall but not evaluate. It is luck for the country, defeat for the war, shame for the army, survival for the individual, negligence for the enemy, and miracle for history. So after watching the movie, I found that there are no protagonists, no heroes, no enemies, no allies, no feelings, no slogans, no universal celebrations, and no crying. Everything is plain and true, but terrifying and cruel. This is war. The war is not seen from the height of national sentiment, but from the perspective of every ordinary party involved. I don't want to spoil, and there's nothing to spoil. Everyone knows about the Dunkirk retreat. Nolan is not a patriotic film that promotes the national spirit, but a war film from the perspective of a "people". . This "person" may be an unremarkable British soldier who just wants to go home, a family rescued by a boat with the wish of his dead son, a 17-year-old crew member who wants to do his part, or a The officers who survived the torpedo bombing but are full of fear may be the air force pilots who fought to the last second in the sky, may be the French soldiers disguised as British soldiers, may be everyone who drives their own boats to Dunkirk. normal people. None of them made great achievements, but they were all heroes. When dealing with war, we must be rational, and not blindly die generously. Burning jade and stone is a battle A good war is a good war that can advance and retreat, and has a long-term plan, so although it is besieged and retreated, you can call it escape, but it is indeed a great victory, because it respects the wishes of every life. There are no heroes in this war movie. In this war, everyone is a hero.
